Not one of the nine defeats in 12 league games that ended Rafa Benitez’s reign, as opposed to the nine losses in Frank Lampard’s last 12 league matches in charge now, but Vitor Pereira’s car-crash interview on Sky Sports which made it impossible for even Farhad Moshiri to appoint a manager who got 1860 Munich relegated. It would strip Everton of Premier League funds and, for a club who have amassed financial losses and who – presumably, anyway – are stripped of Alisher Usmanov’s money, that would seem to pose an existential threat. Already in January, their targets have tended to go elsewhere – Matheus Cunha to Wolves, Danny Ings to West Ham – and invariably to clubs with the capacity to pay hefty transfer fees; given Everton’s overspending in recent years, their plight may meet with little sympathy from their rivals. The early-season days when they briefly had the division’s best defensive record are gone; now they have conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine games.
