Farhad Moshiri remains committed to Everton after talks ended with a US consortium headed by Peter Kenyon regarding a potential takeover of the club, although representatives of the group claim dialogue is continuing and hope they can still strike a deal.
The period of exclusivity between Everton and the consortium which includes real estate tycoon Maciek 'MG' Kaminski and his family, as well as John Thornton, non-executive chairman of the Barrick Gold mining firm and PineBridge Investments, ended at midnight going into Friday.
Sources close to Moshiri say that a decision was made not to extend the period and no more talks are planned with the deal being described as “dead.”
