TFG continue Everton overhaul as Premier League record-holder nears exit
The Friedkin Group are continuing to make sweeping changes at Everton.
The Blues are set to move to a new approach behind the scenes, with Kevin Thelwell leaving his role at the end of the season.
Leeds United chief Angus Kinnear is set to head up the new model and build his own backroom team in an attempt to bring the glory days back to the blue half of Merseyside.
James Vaughan is set to leave Everton
Former academy graduate James Vaughan has been with the Everton academy for two-and-a-half years but the Premier League's youngest-ever goalscorer is now set to leave later this month.
The Liverpool Echo reports (1 April) that the ex-Toffees star will walk away from his role at Finch Farm to pursue another opportunity.
While the decision is not part of the wider reshuffle initiated by the new owners, it is still a major change to the structure that was built by Thelwell.
Everton reshuffle to continue as Friedkin transform the Toffees
The run-in will be an exciting time for Blues supporters, both on and off the pitch, as change begins to take hold at Goodison Park.
David Moyes has his side on a nine-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League and the Toffees are miles away from relegation danger.
| Premier League | Played | GD | Points |
| 14. Tottenham | 29 | +12 | 34 |
| 15. Everton | 29 | -4 | 34 |
| 16. West Ham | 29 | -16 | 34 |
Meanwhile, the rebuild of Everton's sporting structure will continue in the background, as Kinnear brings in his own staff to improve the club's recruitment in the long term.
Kinnear and Co. face a major challenge once they start their work, as the Blues have 13 players either out of contract or with loan deals expiring at the end of the current campaign.
They'll also need to identify transfer targets for Everton and secure deals rapidly to improve the playing squad so that Moyes can breach the top half of the table next season.
It promises to be an exciting summer on Merseyside with the potential incomings and the move to Bramley-Moore Dock for the start of the new season. Off the pitch, the Friedkin Group are doing all they can to ensure a successful transition.
