Jamie Carragher has doubled down on his belief that Everton are the “worst run club in the country” after the January transfer window.
The Blues had a quiet end to the window, with no new signings coming through the door at Finch Farm on deadline day. There was expectation that new manager Sean Dyche would be given new faces to revamp the squad as the club battles to avoid relegation.
Carragher has been critical of Everton in the past, and recently labelled the Blues as the ‘worst run club in the country’ on Sky Sports Monday Night Football. Now the former Liverpool defender has doubled down on his beliefs about Everton, following the conclusion of the January transfer window.

The 45-year-old has taken aim at the club’s hierarchy, including majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright. Carragher explained why he thinks those at board level will need to be “held responsible” for not signing any players in January.
“Everton are an absolute mess,” wrote Carragher for The Telegraph. “Every time it looks like they have sunk to their lowest point, they somehow find a way to showcase another level of ineptitude.
“To sell one of their few assets, Anthony Gordon, to Newcastle United for £40 million without an immediate replacement lined up is an epic failure of leadership from the top, impacting on transfer strategy.
“It would be incomprehensible at the best of times. If the club was in mid-table pushing towards the top six you would scarcely believe they would self-inflict such damage to their ambitions.
“To do that when the team is 19th and in dire need of quality to avoid relegation defies belief.
“If the club fails to recover and goes down everyone involved in this almighty cock-up - from majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri to the boardroom executives Bill Kenwright, chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale and sporting director Kevin Thelwell - will be held responsible.
“There ought to be a full and frank explanation as to how and why Everton are the only club fighting relegation who have come out of the transfer window with a weaker squad, otherwise positions are untenable.
“I called them the worst run club in the country on Monday Night Football ten days ago. Some people disagreed. I have been proven right.”
