Everton manager Dyche laments lack of funds

Dyche reveals that the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the club's potential takeover has had a significant impact on their transfer strategy.

He stated, "It's a weird thing in football when people say: 'Why don't you go out and buy someone?' I'm like: 'What do you mean? There is no money.'

"It's as if, as a manager, I don't want to buy anyone. It's not that I am a manager wanting to keep the money here. Unless someone tells me something different, this is what we've got. 

 "People have been saying is it the ownership, the points (deduction), the injuries, this and that and all the rest of it but we've still found our way.

"And that's why it is important to stay focused. There's so much noise and stories every day around Everton and it is tough. It's not very often about the football. We've done it since I've been here and we have got to start again."
