With the departure of Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Grant Ingles and Graeme Sharp from the Everton board last week it signalled the start of major changes behind the scenes at Goodison Park.
Chairman Bill Kenwright is expected to depart in the near future, although the 48-hour deadline that the club imposed on themselves at the time of the boardroom exit announcement has now gone beyond a week.
New York-based investment firm MSP Sports Capital has been in negotiations with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri since the turn of the year, with MSP co-founders Jahm Najafi and Jeffrey Moorad, along with company vice-president Peter Taylor, having attended the defeat at home to Southampton back in January and being shown the site of the new stadium build at Bramley-Moore Dock during the visit.
