In his weekly Royal Blue column, our Everton FC correspondent Joe Thomas says this is the moment for any challenge to 777 Partners' takeover attempt to emerge if the club is to take advantage of two big wins to move forward on and off the pitch
This is a club facing a summer that is pivotal to its future and for the first time in three years, those on the footballing side of the operation should be able to spend May planning for another season of Premier League football without the distraction of Championship contingency schemes.
There is, of course, work still to do. Dyche has been keen to stress the need to get mathematically safe as soon as possible and that could happen on Saturday night. Even if it does not it would take an extraordinary turn of events for there to be any jeopardy when Everton travel to Arsenal on the final day of the campaign.
The ECHO understands 777 chiefs were aware of this hunt. The group, which is understood to have now provided a further £15m tranche of support to Everton - taking its total contribution towards club costs to around £186m, may view Deloitte’s work as standard practice. But it is far from ideal that the Blues are in this position over a deal that was agreed back in September.
