Is he lying about the turnover from last year. I know some don’t like it but I asked chatGPT to work out our SCR% based on transfers going back 5 years.

My estimate for Everton

I’d break it down like this using your £260m turnover assumption:

Wages: perhaps £145–155m
Player amortisation: ~£60–70m
Agents/other qualifying squad costs: ~£10–15m
Less player-sale profits: potentially £10–20m

That gives something in the region of:

£200–225m net squad cost

Against £260m revenue:

£200m ÷ £260m = 77%

£225m ÷ £260m = 87%

So I’d estimate Everton at roughly 80–87% if the £260m is genuinely the SCR definition of football revenue and the player-sale contribution is reasonably strong.

I think the player sale value is too low as well.

We should be under the 85%.

Do they just want money in the bank to pay off interest on the debts.
