Everton news: Stefan Borson is blown away by Goodison board
Everton’s board and senior management team have done an “amazing” job in dealing with the off-field issues the club have faced over the past 18 months.
That is the view of finance expert Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider the Merseysiders’ hierarchy has had to deal with some “very difficult” corporate infrastructure and regulatory matters.
Everton managed to retain their Premier League status last season despite being hit with an eight-point deduction following two profit and sustainability (PSR) breaches.
But the club’s future remains up in the air after two takeover deals have collapsed over the past few months.
The Friedkin Group was the latest party to see its takeover bid fall through after it walked away from talks due to concerns over the £200million loan owed to former prospective owner 777 Partners.
Everton management team deserve credit for behind-the-scenes decisions
But Borson believes the Merseyside giants’ management team deserve credit for keeping things ticking over at Goodison Park despite the uncertainty surrounding the club.
He told Football Insider: “It’s not straightforward for the existing management to be dealing with what they have dealt with.
“They have done amazingly over the last year to 18 months to deal with just a collection of very difficult corporate infrastructure and regulatory matters.
“They have overseen that at the same time as the team has been struggling on the pitch.
“They have done an amazing job in that.”
