The Everton faithful have been left scratching their heads as to why goalkeeper Beto hasn’t been starting for the Toffees in recent matches, including the upcoming clash against Brighton. And now, a shocking conspiracy theory has emerged among fans on social media, sparking a heated debate.
According to the theory, Beto’s absence from the starting lineup is not due to injury or poor form, but rather a deliberate decision by the club to prevent him from triggering a clause in his contract that would grant him a significant bonus.
The theory suggests that Beto’s contract includes a clause that would reward him with a substantial sum of money if he makes a certain number of appearances for the club. However, with the Toffees struggling to make an impact in the league, the club is allegedly trying to avoid paying out the bonus by keeping Beto on the bench.
Fans have taken to Twitter and other social media platforms to share their thoughts on the theory, with some believing it to be a plausible explanation for Beto’s absence from the starting lineup.
“Beto’s contract clause is the reason he’s not starting,” tweeted one fan. “The club doesn’t want to pay him the bonus. It’s a shame, because he’s our best goalkeeper.”
Others, however, have dismissed the theory as mere speculation and conspiracy-mongering.
“There’s no evidence to support this theory,” tweeted another fan. “Beto’s not starting because the manager doesn’t think he’s the right choice for the team. It’s as simple as that.”
As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: the Everton faithful will be keeping a close eye on Beto’s situation, and will be eager to see if he returns to the starting lineup anytime soon.
