Why Everton's crisis is just the tip of the iceberg

Everton are rock bottom of the Premier League with zero points and zero goals from their opening three games, but their problems extend way beyond their on pitch struggles.
Joining Ayo Akinwolere today is The Athletic's Everton correspondent Paddy Boyland and investigations writer Matt Slater to explain what the collapse of the MSP Capital deal means for both the club's new stadium and its transfer strategy, plus whether there's any light at the end of the tunnel.
Plus, insight from Italian football writer James Horncastle, on whether their new striker, Beto, can at least help to end the goal drought.

Produced by Adonis Pratsides
Additional Production: Mike Stavrou &amp; Guy Clarke
