Everton fans haven’t had much to cheer about so far this season and it doesn’t look like that’s about to change anytime soon.
The Toffees find themselves rock bottom in the Premier League with a goal difference of -8 after just three games.
Sean Dyche is already getting calls to be sacked with the Bournemouth collapse last time out showing that his game management skills just aren’t up to scratch.
Everton now find themselves in a difficult position with a loss in the away trip to face Aston Villa next up possibly spelling the end for Dyche.
However, that isn’t the only thing on the minds of the club chiefs right now as the takeover saga rumbles on with no resolution seemingly in sight.
John Textor is Farhad Moshiri’s preferred bidder but sadly it’s not as straight forward as just letting him buy the club, as this is now the third would-be owner to have been given exclusivity.
The American has to prove he can run Everton as a football club going forward, as well as selling his current 45 percent stake in Crystal Palace to comply with the Premier League’s conflict of interest rules.
And, Matt Slater, when speaking on the Athletic FC Podcast on YouTube stated that the takeover has gone completely silent.
‘Takeover nothings happening at the moment all right, I could stop there. That is the reality. You know I sensed that nothing was happening.
“I normally hear things but I checked last night, I went round all the houses, all the people that have got an interest in this in this club. You hear anything? Nothing at all”.

Textor is a busy man right now so the takeover of Everton may not be the first on his list.
He’s looking into how to come to terms with Everton’s debt situation, as well as trying to list his multi-club vehicle Eagle Football Group on the New York Stock Exchange.
And, should he want to proceed with the purchase of Everton then he’s going to need to find a buyer for his 45 percent stake in Crystal Palace too.
To make matters worse, it doesn’t look as if the Premier League will go easy on Everton with the new PSR case looming.
Plus, if the Toffees continue to lose games then Dyche will soon be out of a job and the club then has even more on its plate to try and find a new, suitable manager.
