Toffees’ ambition right now under the new ownership of TFG is to avoid relegation before relocating to a magnificent stadium at Bramley-Moore dock
David Moyes: It is an added bonus for Everton's owners that David Moyes knows the club intimately and will restore values lost during the chaotic years of Farhad Moshiri. Photograph: Steven Paston/PA Wiremanager was met with an almost snobbish disdain when mooted twice before. It illustrates the diverging fortunes of the Scot and his former club that the welcome mat is being laid out third time around.
That was then. Everton’s ambition right now under the new ownership of The Friedkin Group is to avoid relegation before relocating to a magnificent stadium at Bramley-Moore dock. That’s it. And they need a manager who is available immediately, who knows the Premier League intimately and is well-equipped to work with a squad built by Sean Dyche. There is no grand overhaul of the team and playing style on the horizon.
There was an absentee owner as Moshiri looked to sell up to all manner of buyers, including the potential car crash that was 777 Partners. There was no recognisable board of directors to speak of after the mass resignations of June 2023. The former chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale and chief finance officer Grant Ingles had been in place during the period when Everton breached PSR.
The stable platform that TFG seeks to build upon is in no small part thanks to the manager it has just sacked. But that is not to say it was wrong to do so, or that all of the above praise puts Dyche beyond reproach. In many ways he gave the new owners no alternative. The timing of his exit was poor but was the result of TFG refusing to meet Dyche’s compensation demands of the final six months of his contract plus bonuses. And this season has been abysmal. Dyche likes to claim that expectations grew this season purely on account of it being the final one at Goodison Park. He is the only person to espouse that theory.
