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.
