Jamie Carragher has doubled down on his claim that Everton are the "worst run club" in English football, insisting that Goodison Park chiefs have proven him right thanks to their woeful January transfer window.
Fans were forced to watch a disastrous deadline day unfold on Tuesday, as the Toffees ended the month without signing a single player - despite being second-bottom of the Premier League at the halfway stage. Having sold homegrown star Anthony Gordon to Newcastle United for a cool £40million, Everton attempted to bring in a striker at the eleventh hour but failed in various pursuits.
The club's well-documented struggles have left new manager Sean Dyche having to make do with the relegated-threatened squad which he inherited following his appointment on Monday, as well as Carragher feeling vindicated. Shortly after confirming the sacking of Frank Lampard, a week prior to Dyche's arrival, the ex- Liverpool defender took aim at the rudderless Toffees.
