Farhad Moshiri has £500m reason to accept Everton loss as Andros Townsend takes aim at Jurgen Klopp

Here are your Everton morning headlines for Monday, June 27.

Everton star Andros Townsend claims 'moaning' Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has 'got his way' over new Premier League rule

Everton winger Andros Townsend has taken a swipe at Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for "moaning" about the need for five substitutes before a new rule was introduced for the 2022/23 season.

The Premier League temporarily introduced a change in the regulations after the return from the Covid break in the 2019/20 campaign, meaning that teams were allowed to bring five players off the bench rather than the usual three. However, from the end of that term onwards, the rule was reverted to the normal three per match.

However, Townsend believes that Klopp has "got his way" with the ruling. And he claimed that the Reds manager's comments over a number of issues have put pressure on to deliver what he wants.

Farhad Moshiri has £500m reason to accept major Everton loss

Farhad Moshiri's time at the helm at Everton could come to an end in the near future.

It has been reported that a period of exclusivity has been entered into with the Kenyon group, who have gone as far as visiting the Bramley Moore Dock site as well as the Finch Farm training ground, it has been claimed. It is a takeover that appears to be moving through the stages with some pace, with the US consortium having 'committed' to funding the remainder of the work to the new stadium a reality should they be successful.

A price tag of £1bn, with a £500m valuation for the football club despite cumulative losses of over £370m in the last three years, and a capital expenditure commitment of £500m for the work to finish Bramley Moore Dock has been widely suggested. But even if that valuation is met it would leave Moshiri facing the reality of walking away from Everton, a club he has ploughed over £700m into all told, taking a heavy loss on his investment.

So why would he sell now? Why sell up at such a loss when team values are, at present, continuing to rise exponentially.
