Everton lost almost their entire club board on another day of drama and chaos at Goodison Park.
Owner Farhad Moshiri must now look for a new CEO, chief finance officer and non-executive director after Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Grant Ingles and Blues legend Graeme Sharp all stood down with immediate effect on Monday afternoon.
And it is understood that chairman Bill Kenwright, a former owner and lifelong fan of the club, also intended to resign along with his fellow board members but was persuaded to stay on, in the short term at least, whilst replacements are found.
