Alan Myers: Everton will see investment rather than a takeover
Sky Sports journalist Alan Myers believes “we’ll see investment” at Everton rather than a takeover at Goodison Park in the near future.
There has been plenty of takeover talk in recent weeks with Peter Kenyon’s consortium ending their attempt to buy the Toffees.
However, despite the deal being dead in the water, Myers has predicted investment to come into Goodison Park and a takeover to take place in the near future.
The Sky Sports journalist wrote via his personal Twitter account on Wednesday 6 July: “If I was a betting man, which I’m not, I would guess that we’ll see investment rather than a takeover, eventually leading to a full purchase, but as I say, just my guess.”
Something needs to give
Something certainly needs to give in terms of Farhad Moshiri’s tenancy at Goodison Park.
For too long the club has been run irresponsibly which has seen the Toffees flirt with financial difficulties in recent times.
At no point should a club of Everton’s stature have to sell their best and most talismanic player to a Premier League rival in order for the Toffees to undertake their own transfer business.
It’s a sad state of affairs that Everton find themselves in and that is largely down to Moshiri’s hapless decision making the club in recent years.
It appears that decisions have been made to rectify previous mistakes this summer, but nonetheless the boardroom at Goodison Park certainly needs some fresh faces in the coming years.
The Toffees need an owner with a sustainable model that will focus on providing the Toffees with as many income streams as possible to give the club the best chance of competing where they should be in the Premier League.
Let’s hope Myers’ prediction comes to fruition.
