“The road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.” - John Madden. It has not been easy for Everton over the last three seasons. That much is true, to be sure. After the departure of Don Carlo Ancelotti back to Madrid, the Blues brought in two bosses - Rafa Benitez and Frank Lampard - who ultimately could not lead the team as the legendary Italian once did; to be fair, few can - no matter the side.

The 2024 NBA Draft lacked excitement from the very start of the cycle due to the absence of a consensus No. 1 overall player. The 2024 class wasn’t terrible, but it always felt more like a role player draft than one with future franchise cornerstones. The fact that this was the draft that immediately followed Victor Wembanyama’s class made it seem even more underwhelming.

Sean Dyche entered the news conference at Everton's Finch Farm training ground and immediately grumbled at how hot it was in the room.We haven't had the best of summers weather wise, but the Toffees boss is certainly feeling the heat and that will be cranked up even more if they lose their Premier League opener against Brighton on Saturday.Despite wiping the sweat off his brow and looking a little flush in the face, the manager spoke about the "calmness" felt around the club this summer and the excellent transfer business they have managed to achieve.But shortly after the assembled media had left the building, news broke that Blues owner Farhad Moshiri had entered into an exclusivity agreement with John Textor as he aims to sell the club.Dyche had been asked about the takeover situation and said he had his "fingers crossed" that a resolution could be found, but this brings more uncertainty before the start has begun.Textor would need to sell his 45% stake in Crystal Palace before being able to complete a purchase of Everton, so how long will that take? These things are never straightforward, as the fans know, and this one could rumble on for a while.
