Transfer Spending and Income
Under Thelwell’s management over the past three years, Everton has invested £145 million across six transfer windows. During the same period, the club has generated £226 million from player sales. This financial strategy reflects a cautious approach in the transfer market, prioritising financial stability over aggressive spending.
Club’s Financial Position
Thelwell’s comments highlight the club’s focus on maintaining a balanced budget amidst the competitive financial landscape of the Premier League. The club’s strategy involves careful financial management to ensure sustainability, even if it means being outspent by rivals.
