“I’m delighted to be working with (new owner) Friedkin Group and I look forward to helping them rebuild the club.
“Now we need Goodison and all Evertonians to play their part and support the players during this important season so we can move into our fabulous new stadium as a Premier League team.”

Analysis: Moyes is Everton’s safest option
Alan Myers, Sky Sports News:
“David Moyes is the safest option. The risk of changing managers in this position is high. Having someone who knows the club inside out and can hit the ground running is a big advantage.”

Speaking in December, Moyes told Sky Sports News that he would not consider working at a club at the bottom of the Premier League
“Everton need security from the club and I think he can do that. The initial aim is to ensure Everton retain their Premier League status before moving to a new stadium.
“Things have changed since Moyes last played for Everton. Now he will be working under what the outside world may consider to be a ruthless boss. It’s not the same stability as he had when Bill Kenwright was chairman ”
