Everton fan group writes open letter to Graeme Sharp calling for Farhad Moshiri changes
The NSNOW Campaign has issued an open letter to Everton board member and non-executive director Graeme Sharp, urging him to fill what they describe as “the leadership vacuum” at the club and to personally communicate with fans.
An NSNOW Campaign spokesperson said: “Graeme has accepted the role of non-executive director at Everton Football Club. That role carries important responsibilities. We ask him to communicate with the fans, to close the unfounded allegations which have damaged the club’s reputation and destroyed the relationship between the fans and the Everton board.
“Equally important we ask that Graeme requests that Farhad Moshiri strengthens the Everton board with new appointments bringing greater expertise and much needed oversight to the board’s dealings. Our support for the team and our ongoing fight against relegation will never waiver, but nor will our demands for change, not least an improved and strengthened board with those not adequately skilled standing down.
"Graeme has seen and contributed enormously to Everton when we were at our best. Now, in more challenging circumstances, it is time for him to do so again, in the boardroom rather than on the pitch.”

He has now moved south to become part of the behind the scenes set up at Brighton and Hove Albion. Doolan’s new role on the south coast will see him focus on scouting for centre forwards.
Doolan was a boyhood Blue who developed through the youth ranks at the club but was released before making an appearance. He joined Mansfield Town, where Colin Harvey was then coaching, in 1994 and went on to have a long professional career as he clocked up more than 500 games for clubs that also included Rochdale, Blackpool and Doncaster Rovers.
