Everton loan star Conor Coady has called for a reset at the historic Premier League club.

The Toffees were nearly relegated after a miserable season, but avoided the drop on the final day of the campaign.

A 1-0 win over Bournemouth on the last day gave Everton survival, but Coady believes the club must do better next season, whether he stays or not.

He stated on the Monday Night Club panel for BBC 5 Live Sport: "I think the biggest thing for me is the whole club needs clarity. It needs clarity in everything it does.

"We read and see quite a lot about supporters anger and different things. That's hard for me to speak about, but I also think - as a fan myself - you don't want to see Everton in that position.

"I certainly don't and I didn't when I was playing there. I don't want to see it again, that's where I'm at with it.

"What I really do believe is that it needs some really strong decisions from people upstairs and it needs the strong decisions from everybody to say; 'This is our direction and this where we are going'.

"From being inside, I believe we have lost our way an awful lot and the more we keep losing our way the harder it will be to get back up there. At some point, there's got to be a reset with Everton and we didn't want that reset to be getting relegated from the Premier League."

Asked if he meant as a club or squad, Coady added: "I think as both if I'm being totally honest and people can see that from the outside. I went there at the start of the season thinking; 'We can change things, we can do it and we can really change it', but we have not done that again.
