Former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is reportedly leading a consortium interested in the takeover of Everton. There has been no secret of the financial issues in recent years at Goodison Park, with speculation of a potential breach of Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations emerging in recent months.
Leeds United and Burnley suspected, at the end of the recently-finished season, that the Toffees were not complying with FFP rules. Although, the query from the two sides battling relegation was largely overlooked as it was launched in the direct aftermath of Everton securing their Premier League safety.
The consortium led by Kenyon are at an early stage in talks with the club’s owner Farhad Moshiri, according to The Telegraph. To make a deal with the Everton chief, they are likely to want to know whether or not they face a points deduction or a hefty fine as a result of a potential reach of FFP regulations. Although, Moshiri and his colleagues insist that there has been no foul play on their part.
