Chelsea may be the one club who could look at Farhad Moshiri’s transfer record at Everton and conclude that he didn’t spend enough but bought well. All things are relative, after all, and Sunday’s meeting at Goodison Park is a clash of clubs who have suffered in very different ways from their overspending.
Everton have been deducted 10 points for failing Financial Fair Play by £19.5m; which, to put it another way, is under 2 per cent of Chelsea’s outlay under Todd Boehly. With those 10 points restored, Everton would be above Chelsea in the table. After two managers were bequeathed out-of-form sides by Frank Lampard, Sean Dyche has found more of a winning formula than Mauricio Pochettino.
