Everton: Kenyon backed to make key change at Goodison Park

Everton are expected to be more frugal in the transfer market if a consortium led by Peter Kenyon completes their takeover and Farhad Moshiri walks away from Goodison Park, according to Daily Star journalist Paul Brown.

Having staved off relegation to the Championship by just four points last season, there is now a distinct possibility that the Toffees could head into the new campaign with a new hierarchy.

According to The Telegraph, a consortium fronted by Kenyon are looking to negotiate a deal which will see them take Everton off Moshiri’s hands.

The report suggests that Kenyon, along with American businessmen Maciek Kaminski and John Thornton, have secured a period of exclusivity to hold detailed talks with the current head honcho at Goodison Park.

Kenyon has vast amounts of experience when it comes to working behind the scenes in the Premier League, having previously held roles at Chelsea and Manchester United.

But the 67-year-old’s group are not the only interested party as United States-based tycoons were reportedly mulling over whether to make a move in the final weeks of the season and were open to offering £350million.

However, that would have fallen short of Moshiri’s valuation of the club as it is understood that he is hoping to sell Everton for in excess of £500million.

Brown feels Kenyon will make spending money more wisely one of the key changes if he is handed control at Goodison Park.
