Farhad Moshiri wants to make good on his pledge to deliver Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock – whether he remains owner of the club or not.
It has now been widely reported that Mr Moshiri is in talks over a potential takeover of the Blues with a consortium spearheaded by Peter Kenyon. But while the escalation of the process has surprised even senior officials among Goodison Park’s corridors of power, any change of ownership would still be expected to be a lengthy process.
Moshiri, who paid for the enabling works as part of a phased funding model for the new stadium, has previously indicated that the club would be looking to secure money from the private sector to complete the estimated £500million project, and talks with would-be investors are understood to have developed into discussions over the possibility of a full-scale takeover.
