SEAN DYCHE is planning for a worst-case scenario — selling £250MILLION worth of Everton players.
Jordan Pickford, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil, Alex Iwobi and Amadou Onana would be flogged if they go down.

And midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure warned he is likely to leave even if the club activate an extra one-year option on his deal.
Everton lost £430m in five years and are now being investigated over an alleged breach of the Prem’s finance rules.
Dyche’s side host Manchester City on Sunday while sitting just two points above the dreaded drop.
Plans are being drawn up in case they end up in Championship — costing £100m in revenue.
Boss Dyche said: “We have outlines and will see what it all comes down to.
“People were saying we were done a while ago but we are not done yet.
“It is a fluid business, with us discussing contracts, talking to players — there’s a lot going on.
“But, right now, it’s about getting the club past this situation and growing for the future.”

Injured defender Seamus Coleman, 34, is a free agent this summer but Dyche expects him to stay.
Coleman was stretchered off during the 2-2 draw at Leicester at the start of the month and taken to hospital.
