Farhad Moshiri is plotting yet more change in the Everton boardroom with more appointments expected in the imminent future.

That’s according to Phil Kirkbride, who reports that two appointments were in the offing before the elevation of Graeme Sharp this week.

It is suggested that even more than two could happen, with Moshiri said to have a big say given he has no “owner’s representative” on the board.

Writing in the Liverpool Echo this morning (08/01) Kirkbride shared the latest on the state of play in the boardroom at Goodison Park.

“Everton’s boardroom has been shaken all about in the last six years,” he wrote. “Eight appointments, six departures. And more change to come?

“The ECHO understands that, prior to Sharp’s elevation to the boardroom, at least two additions were being lined up, but maybe more.

“Moshiri no longer has, what the club have called, an owner’s representative on the board, so expect that any further bolster of the ranks will include, at least one, of the majority shareholder’s picks,” he wrote.

Lesson.

We’re hoping that the departures this season will have taught Moshiri something if anything before making his next decision.

Marcel Brands was finally shown the exit door after numerous transfer mistakes, and others have also followed him.

Everton need to return to the glory days, it has been far too long and Moshiri can’t afford to make yet another mistake in his decisions.

The appointment of Sharp was a good start as a non-executive director, and he knows what it means to the fans – we need more of that at the board level.

So, it looks as though we can expect more appointments in the very near future to this new-look board, let’s hope they take us forward.
