• Yes Kevin, agree the spending was insane and wasteful. The seasons 2022/23 and 2023/24 were an existential threat to the club. If we’d been relegated then the club would likely have gone bankrupt with the level of debt and no financing from the owner or lenders. ...

• Chase the WolfReflecting on his 81 England caps, Pickford told The Mirror: “It's good to have a good crop of English goalkeepers, it's great for them to push me and it's about me pushing myself even more. If I'm up there and I want to push up, then they've got to chase the wolf.“It's about doing everything I can at Everton; the work I put in on the training pitch, if I'm doing gym sessions, putting the performances in, it gives me that platform to be the best for England, and it's something I've done for years."I've never just been happy, I've always wanted to push myself to be the best, and I feel like that's what I am and that's what I want to keep doing.
