Everton are on the brink of a new era under a different owner, and there is a lot of excitement around the club.
The Friedkin Group have already agreed to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94% stake in the Merseyside club and are waiting for the Premier League to give them full control.
The entire process is going smoothly, and the USA owners are expected to take control of the Toffees around mid-December.
Everton fans can expect drastic changes at the club, but most importantly, they will hope the manager will get the proper funds to buy quality players in the transfer window.
It appears that the Friedkins have already made some strong behind-the-scenes decisions that may shock several backroom members.
What Friedkin Group have decided to do at Everton
According to journalist Alan Nixon, the incoming owners are “ready to shock” several Everton backroom staff by asking them to re-apply for their jobs.
Sean Dyche has a contract at Goodison Park until the end of the season, and his position is far from secure, even if he manages to guide the Toffees to Premier League safety.
His position will be reviewed by the prospective owners once they take full control. Also, Football chief Kevin Thelwell and other leading scouts need to go “through a process” to continue their roles at the club.
Nixon wrote: “Everton’s incoming owners are ready to shock several backroom staff by asking them to re-apply for their jobs.
“Boss Sean Dyche’s deal is up in the summer and will be reviewed when the Americans come in, but he is not alone.
“Football chief Kevin Thelwell and other leading scouts are also set to be put through a process to see if they remain in their posts.”
Major decision from the incoming owners
Dyche has done a brilliant job at Everton, considering the conditions under which he has worked in the past few years.
The Friedkins are unlikely to stick with the Toffees boss if the results do not improve, but they must give him proper support and time before making any decision on his future.
We have already seen that the Friedkins are not hesitant to sack managers, as they did quite a few at AS Roma.
