Everton sold three players during the summer transfer window to try and avoid FFP troubles.

The Premier League giants are struggling financially due to the mistakes of past managers and directors of football.

Now the Toffees are aiming to appeal a points deduction they got in November of ten points, while fighting a second deduction that could reduce six points from their tally this season or next season.

Speaking about the matter ahead of an FA Cup game on Wednesday, Dyche said: “Because of the first situation, I think we're all wondering.

“I don't know what the outcome is going to be. The appeal is the first thing, our focus remains on the appeal from the last part of it, and see where that takes us. I think that's all we can do."

He added: “I've been here approaching a year and in my timeline and certainly by the recent stats and facts, I think we're in the bottom three or four net spend over the last three or four seasons, so there's a start point of the club motioning to do things correctly.

“Since I've been here we let players go out of contract, some we would've kept. We've been working hard to lower everything. We sold three young players in the timelines we were given to make sure the money was in. The new stadium speaks for itself, the effect that will have on the city."
