Delusions of grandeur have taken Everton to the BRINK! After splashing £500m on players with no sense or strategy, a relegation battle looms as their years of mismanagement on and off the pitch haunts them

The timing of a new Dominic Calvert-Lewin fashion photoshoot for GQ magazine is unfortunate, to say the least.
