On Tuesday evening (19:41 to be exact) TheGuardian reported that Everton owner Farhad Moshiri had put the club up for sale and that he was wanting offers over £500M. 19 minutes after this article was published, Everton released an interview between Farhad Moshiri and Everton’s Fan Advisory Board which was recorded before the West Ham defeat.
In this interview, Moshiri states, he has a list of all the points in which Evertonians are unhappy before adding one interesting statement.
“I am committed to this club.”
As Evertonians one thing Moshiri has done and we cannot moan at is he has put his money where his mouth is, which might be advised by the wrong people at times (Kia Joorabchian) as one example along with his fellow board members such as club chairman Bill Kenwright but we need to remember that this interview was conducted before the weekend’s antics and Moshiri may have now put the club up for sale, but we are still none the wiser.
In the summer we reported that Farhad Moshiri was in talks with people from the United States about selling the club or as investors, and looking for potential investors is something that Moshiri has never been shy of admitting and during the game vs Southampton, one Everton fan on Twitter noticed someone and I have done some digging and found out who he is along with his friends.

Jahm Nafaji circled was joined by CEO Jeff Moored (left of Nafaji) and Vice President Pete Taylor (left of Moored) at the Southampton game who are all part of US Investment firm MSP Sports Capital and late last night Bloomberg reported that MSP Sports Capital are considering a potential investment in Everton Football Club.
If MSP and Moshiri get to an agreement about investing in the club that could all depend on what happens this season with Everton’s relegation battle but before we can even start looking forwards we first need to sort out the manager situation.
