Moshiri also promises funds to ‘add depth to the squad’Owner expects results to improve after defeat by LiverpoolFarhad Moshiri has claimed Rafael Benítez will be given time and financial support to revive Everton despite fans turning on the club’s hierarchy after the Merseyside derby humbling by Liverpool.
Moshiri was in the
United States as Everton succumbed to a sixth defeat in eight winless matches on Wednesday, and was therefore spared the direct criticism aimed at the chairman, Bill Kenwright, and director of
Football, Marcel Brands, after the 4-1 reverse. Chants of “sack the board” emanated from the home fans who remained inside Goodison Park at the final whistle as those responsible for woeful recruitment over several years, and not simply the former
Liverpool manager, were identified as the cause of the club’s continued decline.
