Everton’s 2024/25 Premier League season objectives

00:00The transfer news is coming thick and fast for Everton. What can you tell us about that
00:14and how important is it to keep the likes of some of their top players like Gerard Brantway
00:19being probably the main one?
00:21Yeah, it's interesting because I think Everton fans will look going into this window thinking
00:27we're not expecting an awful lot, if I'm being brutally honest, because of what Sean's
00:32actually said, juggling Sands and the director of football Kevin Fell, saying we're going
00:36to have to sell players. But we're not even in July yet and they've made the first signing.
00:42Tim Iriboyanam, I think I might have got that right, from Aston Villa, very much a signing
00:48that Everton need. They need players whose value is going to increase, who've got potential,
00:56who can be coached.
00:58Is the sort of priority to just avoid being in that scrap again?
01:02Well, it's interesting. I was thinking about this the other day with the takeover going
01:09because yeah, Sean Dyche said my job is to safeguard the club next season and yeah, maybe
01:16he probably is. I was thinking we're not out of the trees just yet, we're not out of
01:22the danger zone. But if Everton get this new takeover, does that change things? Because
01:31will there be a little bit of money to spend etc? The club will have proper structure in
01:38place. Does Dan Frieden come in and say, right, we want to be in the top end of the
01:46table in a couple of years and we need progress. You know, you were able to finish 12th last
01:50season without the points deduction, so there's no excuse why you can't finish the high again.
01:57So it is very much an interest on whether Sean Dyche's priorities will change, whether
02:04he'll get told his priorities have to change because I'm sure he'll be looking at it
02:08quite pragmatically as Everton, thinking we need to stay up, we need to get some new
02:13grounds in the Premier League. Well, if you look on the Premier League next season, is
02:21it going to be as strong again? You know, you've got obviously Leicester coming up who've
02:28got a new manager in place now and you've got Ipswich, how are they going to get on?
02:34Are they going to struggle? Are they going to be like a looting sort of thing? It's a
02:38bit of a disservice to the job Keane McKenna's doing at Southampton as well. Are they going
02:43to be able to mix it in the first season back? So yeah, it's certainly an interest and it
02:51would be interesting to ask Sean Dyche that, if the priorities will change now from what
02:56he was thinking towards the end of last season.
