Farhad Moshiri’s disastrous ownership of Everton has taken a surreal twist, with news the billionaire is in talks to sell the club to close associates of Donald Trump and Steve Bannon.
Mirror Sport can reveal Moshiri is considering cutting his losses at Goodison, after receiving approaches to sell their stake from FOUR different parties. But most progress has been made with a consortium led by controversial former Manchester United and Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, who has most recently set up a company which specialises in advising on football club purchases.
Kenyon was involved in a failed bid to buy Newcastle, and now he is fronting a consortium which also includes American real estate tycoon Maciek Kaminski and John Thornton, a gold mining billionaire.
