Everton are caught between gloom and hope — Farhad Moshiri must ‘take a haircut’ and sell

Each failed takeover deal brings cataclysmic predictions but it feels business as usual under Sean Dyche’s smart management.

This Telegraph article is behind a paywall but presents the current situation at the club in a Dickensian tale of stark and conflicting contrasts:

“Everton’s current predicament is a tale of two football clubs. About the worst of times under majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri amid the hope of the best of times when the team moves into a £500m new docklands home in 2025.”

“The extreme differences make Everton the most contradictory of institutions.”

“The honest assessment – one shared by many within Everton – is that only Moshiri knows how perilous the club’s financial situation truly is, and whether repayment deadlines need satisfying within months or years.”
