 Hello, welcome to Toffy TV. It is the Everton News Daily. Sean Dice has held his press conference ahead of Sunday's trip to West Ham United. The press conference started with a moment's silence for the passing of Everton chairman Bill Kenwright and the first question to Sean Dice was his thoughts on Bill Kenwright and he played this lovely tribute. We have run it as a group. Some had a bigger connection with the chairman and others due to their time. I am particularly ashamed. Myself in a different way, obviously. Being quite close to him over a period that was difficult for him and his family as well with illness. It is a big loss, that is for sure. He is incredibly supportive. I was reading some of Moisey's comments saying as a young manager how supportive he was, he was supportive to me. Sort of older manager if you like, a bit more rounded in it. He was nothing but supportive even through some hard times. He has been someone to pick up the phone to, always got time for you and always wanted to find out what was going on really and get a touch base on what the feeling of the camp was, the players, the mood, individuals and often telling me all of his wisdom about what we should be doing. But always in a supportive way I must make that clear. What were those pearls of wisdom? Last season it was fair to say that we shared a moment that is an odd big moment of course. You don't want to be having big moments that are at the bottom of the league but to stay up on the last day in the fashion we did and to sort of share that with him that was a big moment and he felt probably differently than me how big that was after a tough season for many different reasons so that was certainly a very big moment when he was very pleased and very proud of. Yeah there you go so obviously lovely tributes from the manager and there will be a minute silence ahead of the West Ham game on Sunday for Bill Kenwright and of course Bobby Charlton as well who sadly passed away last weekend and I'm sure Evan will be announcing more in the coming days on what tributes will be paid on Wednesday against Burnley and of course against Brighton at the weekend as well and there's a lovely tribute actually paid last night at Anfield as well for Bill Kenwright as well so nice to see that happening as well. Obviously Sean Dice was asked about the team news and the situation regarding Seamus Coleman, Delly and Andre Gomez. Seamus is back up training with us fully now but obviously he's been out for quite a while so he will need more of just training to get that sort of general fitness and then games as well because of the length of time. Delly is still a bit away, Andre is still a bit away as well. So obviously Sean Dice reporting there on Seamus Coleman which we've seen the pitches this week with them training at Gullison Park so great news about Seamus Coleman, interesting to see whether he'll feature on the bench on Sunday because obviously with Ashley Young being suspended Nathan Patton does step up into the first team then a back up right back with someone like Seamus Experience would be huge so and obviously as I said with the Burnley game as well on Wednesday it'd be interesting to see. Gomez and Delly, I honestly not sure we'll ever see either of them play for Evan. I honestly don't, I just don't say anything with Delly, the Delly situation and the finances I just can't see them ever playing for Evan but we'll wait and see, we'll wait and see. We'll see what happens and we know Delly did have a setback recently and he's been trying very hard to get back into fitness but Sean Dice obviously with the news this week was asked about the situation regarding the independent commission and the possibility of ever facing a 12 point deduction. I think there's loads of stories out there about things nowadays particularly things of that base type you know but at the end of the day the commission will decide and when they do we'll find out. Does it feel like the pressure's been cranked up somewhat with that, even that possibility? To be honest ever since I've been here there's been pressure, there's pressure on all sorts you know around Evan football club and we've been trying to stay calm within lots of different challenges here. I think we mostly have done trying to get things right on the pitch or better certainly and trying to improve other areas of the club and there's so much noise there to be honest that it's just another part of it. You know and like I say trying to change the noise putting in a more positive feel about the club not just the team about the whole club. We're trying to work to do that and you know every time you just about getting there another thing comes up so you know it's one end thing. So there you go, Sean Dice very much keeping his part of the drive about the 12, well rumoured, well leech, well 12 point deduction that has been spoke about in the press we'll have to wait and see. The commission apparently is all done now and Evan will have to wait weeks to find out as the commission goes away and reviews all the evidence given by both sides on this. So it's going to probably be December, early December I imagine when we find out what is going on with the commission and if they were to lose what punishment Evan would face and then if they do lose I imagine Evan will appeal it if they feel like they have grounds to. So we'll have to wait and see. Moving away from Sean Dice's press conference he was actually asked about it, Sean Dice was asked about Abdelight de Coray and whether he is set to sign a new contract for Viteo Romano reporting this on Thursday night that he was set to sign a new contract. Sean Dice said that Evan were continually speaking to players agents and de Coray was one of those players. He signed a one year extension this year that was part of his contract. Evan will probably hope to tie him down I imagine and maybe that will be news that we hear more in the coming weeks maybe it's at the early stages because obviously with the players Evan it got Evan and could be very light in midfield in the summer if they don't get some of these players tied down and de Coray being one of them and obviously de Coray has been in good form for Sean Dice he's been a very important player for Sean Dice and what we saw last season was the wheels come off a little bit when he got sent off against Spares and got suspended the wheels really did come off so being tested to see over the coming days what happens with this it's rumoured that it's till 2025 with an option of another year after that so we'll see in the coming days what happens on that Evan's potential new owners, 777 have provided in the region of 80 million of funds, this is reported by Alan Myers obviously this is ahead of the fit and proper test and going through all that which again should be decided in December and the biggest talk that if the buy was did fail because of that that that could be turned into equity and maybe they would have a small stake holding in the football club and maybe then they would still be in charge but obviously not own the club fully and maybe would go through the process a lot slower then we'll have to wait and see but that's a hell of a lot of money isn't it that's a hell of a lot of money for something that might or might not happen they must be very very confident of it going through or they must be very confident of a plan their plan regardless of what the Premier League say and that might start out with a smaller share holding in the club which is what the talk was from regarding MSP wasn't it a couple of months ago talk was they were going to buy 25% and build up slowly and they wouldn't have to go through the process at the start and they would have people on the board so it could be we could see that 777 if they don't pass that fit and proper test might might start off with a small percentage in the club but essentially run the football club because they'll have people in the places of power so we'll wait and see how that plays it's just another fascinating element of everything that's going on at Everton at the moment and finally the Everton versus mainly game in the Carabao Cup next Wednesday is sold out that's fantastic news that that game is sold out a full house under the lights I'm sure there'll be some fantastic tribute getting paid to Bill Kenwright on the night as well so a great opportunity as well for Everton to get through to the next round of the Carabao Cup as well so looking forward to that one next week don't forget check out the match preview the best time of the night is Everton there's been some great live content over on Toffee TV premiere this week make sure you check it out, the link is in the description and the QR code is coming up on the screen now see you later
