Everton’s Premier League survival is dependent on the decisions made by the club across 10 of the most important days in its modern history.
For the second consecutive season the club is facing a battle against what would be a disastrous relegation. And once again it is entering the closing stages of a January transfer window on the hunt for a new manager after the dismissal of Frank Lampard.
There is now just one week left to strengthen the squad for Lampard’s replacement and the club is confident Arnaut Danjuma is set to become the first signing of the January transfer window. But further additions may be needed as attention turns to finding a new manager fast enough to make the most of the precious time until Everton next play.
