Everton star's uncertainty may warrant outrage across supporters

Jack Grealish’s future at Everton may be under severe pressure following reported news emerging these last few weeks.

The Englishman was handed a disciplinary omission and a fine from Everton following failure to report for a mandatory training session at Finch Farm without permission.

Reports are suggesting Grealish spent the weekend prior out, socialising and maybe drinking heavily. It is worth noting these reports have not been confirmed as the truth, and the truth is taking its time to be revealed!

David Moyes has been questioned heavily regarding the situation of the loanee signing, with the Glaswegian providing extremely vague responses. The lack of depth in Moyes’ answers is likely due to advice from the hierarchy of the club.

Moyes has voiced utterances such as “unavailable”. At one point, Everton on X stated Jack Grealish was not “match fit” to feature.

Are these mind games? Everton are not obliged to speak out regarding the internal situation, and it seems they will continue to do just that! Despite this, Evertonians are left with unanswered questions and may be wondering whether it is right for the 31-year-old to return to the squad, and if so, when.

It seems the Blues are performing exceptionally well without the attacker. Everton have turned things round these last few weeks following two consecutive defeats, Chelsea and Arsenal.

The Toffees have, since Grealish has been absent, have beaten Newcastle twice and grabbed all three points in an amazing second half performance against Coventry, coming out with a 3-1 win.

Now that Everton have proved that Grealish is not a necessary asset to the side, the financial contribution may be seen as not worth it.

Jack Greaslish earns a total salary of £300k p/w, but it is believed to be Everton paying the fair share, approximately 75% of that (£225k). It is certainly a big chunk of money, but can saving that amount lead to an even more improved squad in the summer?

The hierarchy at the club may not take harsh action against Grealish, as it may be a pointless task for The Friedkin Group, following the reports that TFG are looking to sell the club after not even two years.

Everton fans are stuck to face a waiting game for the truth to fully emerge, and whether Grealish’s actions warrant a warm welcome back or an outrage. Only time will tell.
