An Everton fan group has urged majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri to share plans that could help to repair the relationship between the club and supporters.
Sean Dyche’s side secured Premier League survival with a final day win over Bournemouth - the club’s second successive relegation battle. Scenes of relief greeted the final whistle - and as the immediate emotion of the moment passed there were loud chants of ‘sack the board’ from the stands.
The calls follow a dismal season in which supporters have been angered and frustrated over the way in which the club has been run and its latest exposure to what could have been a catastrophic drop to the Championship.

The All Together Now fan group has led calls for change in the wider management of Everton and oversaw protest marches to the ground before home games for months before suspending them in order to concentrate on backing the team at the height of the relegation fight.
Now that has concluded, the group has pointed to the calls for change that rang around Goodison on Sunday evening and urged Moshiri, who is in talks with US investors, to work to help repair the damaged bond between the club and fanbase.
In a statement, the group said: “We implore the owner to communicate on the actions he is looking to take that will begin the process of high-level change. This can then prove to be the first step towards repairing the fractured relationship between the fans and the club.
"This must be done immediately. We, as fans, custodians and as the beating heart of this football club demand change, and we demand it now.”
