Everton brace for further instability as Toffees’ failed takeover means players will be traded as top scorer Abdoulaye Doucoure maintains ‘we want more stability in the club’
Everton fans may grow used to this. A day in the sun watching the Toffees triumph in a relaxed environment. With safety already established, the outcome was insignificant in the big scheme of things. Unfortunately, more instability awaits.
The eight-month dispute involving Miami-based 777 Partners’ attempted takeover has ended. But owner Farhad Moshiri has yet to sell his 94.1 percent interest.
Director of football Kevin Thelwell stated in his programme notes on Saturday that players would have to be traded because point deductions had caused ‘anxiety and uncertainty’. The most recent accounting showed an £89.1 million loss.
Out-of-contract players would have ‘clarity’ about their situation, he added. Six stars’ contract have ran out.
That list includes Captain Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gana Gueye.
