Pundit shares ‘massive’ Everton prediction after ‘£400m’ update – ‘unbelievable’
Farhad Moshiri must sell Everton to give the club a “reboot” after a turbulent few years.
That’s according to former Leeds United stopper Paddy Kenny, speaking exclusively to Football Insider amid the latest on a potential change of ownership at Goodison Park.
The Financial Times reported on 29 September that Farhad Moshiri is in advanced talks to sell Everton for “around £400m” to Maciek Kaminski.
Moshiri released a statement on 14 July insisting that the club is not for sale but that he may welcome minority investment.
That came against the backdrop of a consortium fronted by Peter Kenyon and financed by Maciek Kaminski trying to buy the club.
Kenny insists the Moshiri should take the offer that is reportedly on the table.
“I think he should sell if the offer comes in,” Kenny told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“It’s time for that club to reset and reboot and the best way to do that is with a takeover. It sounds like there is a buyer who is offering a good price.
“So it’s up to Moshiri. I know he isn’t popular and we know the club has lost a lot of money in the last few years. He might be keen to get rid of it.
“You would think he might be. It’s one to keep an eye on but there have been a lot of Premier League takeovers recently and they have gone pretty well for Newcastle and Chelsea.
“Everton have struggled so I’m sure the fans want Moshiri to sell and to give the club a fresh start. They want the massive potential like Newcastle have.
“That would be unbelievable for them.”
Everton have posted combined losses of over £370m across the last three years, with £170m of that figure attributed to lost income because of the pandemic.
Current financial fair play rules state that clubs can lose no more than £105m over three seasons.
