Everton are one of the best supported clubs in England yet despite the best efforts of manager Sean Dyche on the field, off it they seem to lurch from one financial crisis to another.
The club is at risk of a points deduction for breaching financial fair play and a mooted takeover by Florida-based 777 Partners is hugely controversial.
Adrian and Charlie are joined by former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness.

Dean Holden of Charlie’s club Charlton became the first EFL manager to lose their job this season before August was even out; Sheffield Wednesday fans are already calling for the head of Xisco Munoz after eight winless games, and one Man United mate told me the other day that Eric Ten Hag will soon be on his way out at Old Trafford after their laboured start.
In the premier League the average managerial tenure is less than two years; a decade ago it was more than three years. The Championship is even more brutal with most bosses getting less tnan a yeat to prove themselves.
But what factors are taken into account before a manager gets the elbow? Who gets to make the call? Is it fans who are impatient? Or owners?
