After retaining their ever-present Premier League status thanks to Abdoulaye Doucoure's stunning strike against AFC Bournemouth on the final day of the season last month, this summer promises to be one of huge importance for all areas of Everton Football Club if they are to ensure the 2021/22 and 2022/23 campaigns are mere blots on the club's pristine top-flight record.
While changes off the field appear imminent with club officials in talks with New York-based private equity firm MSP Sports Capital, it will be Sean Dyche who is tasked with ringing the changes on the field as he looks to build on the foundations he has set since arriving at Goodison Park in January and plot the Blues' flight up the table.
Of course, being in the Premier League will make Dyche's task an awful lot easier with the club sparing themselves the headache of planning a summer overhaul while in England's second tier.
