Potential new Everton owners reveal their policies and ambitions if they complete Goodison takeover
Peter Kenyon’s consortium have announced that they wish to improve communication with Everton fans if they complete a takeover at Goodison Park, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Dave Powell reports that the rumoured next owners have announced their intentions on how they wish to run the prestigious Merseyside club.
According to Powell, the incoming owners would prioritize strengthening the connection and transparency with fans should their takeover be concluded.
Powell said: “Former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive, Peter Kenyon, is fronting a bid on behalf of the US-based Kaminski family and billionaire mining and investment magnate, John Thornton.
“Sources close to the Kaminski family have told the ECHO that there will be a renewed commitment to ownership of the club being visible in the city and at games and an improved dialogue between club and fans should the deal be concluded.
“The group remain confident of achieving ahead of Everton’s tour to the US which takes in a stop in the Kaminski’s hometown of Minneapolis for a clash with Minnesota United.”
Good news for Everton fans?
These new reports should be music to the ears of Evertonians as they have endured a rocky relationship with their current owner Farhad Moshiri since he acquired stakes in the club six years ago.
The Iranian was announced as Bill Kenright’s new partner in 2016 and he promised new investments in the process.
Even though new investments did come, it was clear to see that there was a lack of footballing expertise at the heart of a lot of the transfer business that the Toffees did at the time.
Since 2016, the club has spent £500million, a sizeable expenditure that topples their Merseyside rival, Liverpool.
They have averaged £90million in transfer expenditure per year since Moshiri took over, with several signings still making fans scratch their heads.
Yannick Bolasie, Theo Walcott, Cenk Tosun, Andre Gomes, Jean-Phillipe Gbamin, Moise Kean and Davy Klaasen, and James Rodriguez all equated to around £98million of transfer expenditure with very little of that money recouped.
Crisis has never been far away under Moshiri rule and the club narrowly avoided relegation this season.
They will hope the Kaminski and Thornton era will be much more positive than the period of uncertainty and at times calamity, that they have endured under Moshiri rule.
