Fixing the broken relationship between Everton and swathes of its fanbase is a key priority for those hoping to lead the club beyond this summer, the ECHO understands.
Everton is currently being run by an interim board designed to oversee a period of transition that should lead to investment from US group MSP Sports Capital. The outfit has raised more than £100m intended to help Everton move forward with the construction of its new waterfront stadium.
That input would help the club but come at a cost to majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri, should it be signed off. His holding would be diluted by the terms of the proposed agreement, though he would likely retain majority control. He would also cede some power at operational level through the appointment of a new-look board that would be influenced by MSP.
