Everton are a huge football club, the difficulties the club has faced over the past two years are something that is not good for the club and are left with a squad that is a challenge to deal with. We are fighting for justice and we are looking for the best possible outcome. We start at Everton and we don't know where we will end up next. But let us see how it all unfolds.

We had a transfer budget of -10 million pounds. Our financial situation was so dire that we had to sell players, so some players have been sold. Demarai Gray has gone to Nottingham Forest for 7 million pounds. Alex Iwobi has gone to Al Ahli (KSA) for 24 million pounds. Jean-Philippe Gbamin has gone to Al Ahli (KSA) for 6.25 million pounds. Andy Lonergan has gone to Rotherham for 17k pounds.

We are on our way to diminishing our 10 point deduction and we are on minus three points now. Yerry Mina has re-signed for Everton. Eli Campbell has moved to Peterborough for 36k pounds. We can pull off the great escape when we sustain this belief.

We are good to go when it comes to avoiding relegation. We just need more points on top of what we have already. The January transfer window has now opened and we are looking to strengthen the squad. Mason Holgate has left the club to join Al Ittihad for 6.5 million pounds. Dele Alli has left the club to join Al Hilal (KSA) for 4 million pounds and Michael Keane has left the club on loan to join Marseille.

I can say now that our team is clear of the relegation spots and we will survive comfortably. The 10 point deduction was horrendous when it happened but now we look like a stable team. This is a very strong group of players and I am confident that we can do well at the end of the season as well as in the upcoming seasons as well. The future looks bright for our team. Also Idrissa Gana Gueye is going to Marseille for 3.5 million pounds next season and Billy Crelin has gone on loan to Western United FC.

In the nicest possible way, as an Everton fan, I find some of your transfer business truly fascinating! Really running your save in a completely different way to myself.

Yes I get players who would help me now, regardless of their age. The aim is incremental improvement. So whether that can be achieved with a 18 year old or 38 year old doesn't matter.

We have sold Neal Maupay to Cagliari for 2 million pounds. And we also sold Yerry Mina to Norwich for 13 million pounds. It is good to see we have raised money from player sales and when the transfer window opens the wages will also be adjusted accordingly. We have made good progress in the league after our hopeless situation starting off at -10 points last season. Nearly 18 months on, we look like a stable Premier League club.

Leicester City have approached me to be their manager. I applied for the job after things were very much middling at Everton and it looked like we are consolidating our place in the league. Leicester are higher in the table, but Everton are a bigger club, so I have declined the offer, and it is a hard pass. And also I am building something at Everton and making them a solid club, so yeah.

With Everton floundering in the league and things not going quite to plan, I have now left Everton and I have joined Fiorentina who are 8th in Serie A and are more stable. I feel like it was the right time to leave Everton after nearly 18 months in charge, they slashed the transfer budget and I had no money to spend on players in January, so I felt it was appropriate to move on. This is what the Fiorentina squad looks like.

We have started off well here at Fiorentina, I am really pleased with the results and the performances so far, we look like a team who can compete in the upper echelons of the table and we hope we qualify for European competition. We will face Torino in the next round of the Coppa Italia.

Toni Fruk has gone on loan to Gent. Niccolo Pierozzi has gone on loan to Union SG. We played in a spirited way against Napoli and we are still unbeaten since I have walked into the door, also we have kept five clean sheets, so long may that continue.

A story about my ex-club Everton.

After I left Everton in December, they hired Roberto De Zerbi as manager, and went into freefall and got relegated. It was the right time to leave Everton and jump ship after about 18 months in charge there. It was not quite working out when I was there and I was lower mid table when I left, the fact that the club sunk like a stone after I left shows that it was the right decision to leave the club.
