Former Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan believes the challenge facing Farhad Moshiri is “to make the right decisions” following a report that Peter Kenyon is leading a consortium in talks to try and takeover at Everton. The Daily Telegraph published an article on Monday evening claiming that former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Mr Kenyon is spearheading a group that includes the chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate, Maciek Kaminski, and American businessman John Thornton.
Mr Moshiri's long-time intermediary Jim White followed this up by saying he had a "no comment" from the Everton owner but he understood that talks were ongoing and "positive." Jordan, who last week responded to Mr Moshiri’s open letter to Everton supporters by declaring that it “seems like a snivelling exercise to curry favour with the fans”, told talkSPORT : “Peter Kenyon is the ultimate tyre-kicker. He did this with Newcastle, I fail to understand why talks in their relatively early stage are in the media unless you want them to.
“Last time he was trying to that with Newcastle and raise crowdfunding to buy the football club. He is connected and will have a lot of people around him that will have money, that may well be interested in football clubs.
