Everton lost 0-4 to Tottenham in the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Monday (Korea time). In the match, Everton failed to strike down and were constantly dragged by Tottenham.
Daichi spoke frankly about Everton's lack of spending ability after the game. The comments came just a week after the start of the new season with a 3-0 home loss to Brighton.
Everton were deprived of points twice last season for violating Premier League revenue and sustainability rules. As the acquisition situation has yet to be resolved, the team has sold 71 million pounds (about 124.6 billion won) worth of players, including the sale of Amadou Onana to As Villa for 50 million pounds (about 87.7 billion won) without a replacement. However, the players were not experienced in the Premier League.
Daichi told Sky Sports, "Until we hear something else, we don't have the financial capacity to make changes. This is our reality. We changed the story last season and sold big names in the summer. When you try to get a squad, the challenge starts again. It's an endless challenge for Everton Football Club."
He continued, "We finished last season strong. We sold a player named Onana who grew and matured and became a very important player. And we brought in other players who have to start the process again and let them grow and mature and become important players. This cycle is what keeps repeating."
Everton fans have granted John Textor exclusive rights to the takeover bid, hoping for the third time for good luck, after 777 Partners and Friedkin Group, but the completion of the acquisition will depend on Textor selling a 45% stake in Crystal Palace.
This means that the situation will not be resolved quickly, meaning Everton will have to remain in financial prison in the future, and Daichi must do his best with the squad he has to not push Everton to relegation for the time being. The next match will bring Doncaster Rovers home in the second round of the Carabao Cup on the 28th (Korea time), and face Bournemouth in the Premier League on August 31 (Korea time).
