Everton manager David Moyes reports zero communication with owner Dan Friedkin

Summary

Everton manager David Moyes confirmed on Saturday he has not spoken to club owner Dan Friedkin during his 20-month tenure. Despite The Friedkin Group completing a takeover of the Premier League club in December 2024, Friedkin has reportedly not attended a home match at the 53,000-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium. Moyes handles daily club operations through CEO Angus Kinnear and owner representative Rishi Majithia. The lack of direct engagement occurs amid speculation regarding a potential full or partial sale of the club. While the ownership group is credited with stabilizing finances and finishing the new stadium project, former executive Keith Wyness suggests a sale could occur within 18 months. Everton remains a historic Premier League brand with a valuation estimated at $930 million.
