Sean Dyche has indicated Everton will not make any decisions on player futures until their relegation scrap is resolved.
And that means some influential figures like skipper Seamus Coleman, loanee Conor Coady, midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure, Yerry Mina and young star Tom Davies all must wait to see which division the Blues end up in.
Speaking ahead of an important trip to Manchester United, Dyche made clear that the looming threat of the drop will play a huge part in the tough contract decisions to be made at the end of the campaign. Dyche was asked about Coady, who was signed on a year long loan with a view to the permanent move for just £4m, but he replied by suggesting the current situation will determine the futures of many in his squad.
