Three members of Everton’s board left their roles on Monday and the chairman, Bill Kenwright, is expected to go in the next 48 hours in developments which signal the arrival of fresh investment.
The chief executive, Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief finance and strategy officer, Grant Ingles, and non-executive director Graeme Sharp have gone after months of protests by fans against the board and the owner, Farhad Moshiri.
