David Moyes Says Everton Contract Talks Have Gone Quiet

David Moyes has indicated that talks over a new Everton contract have stalled amid uncertainty over the club’s ownership situation.

The Everton manager said discussions about extending his agreement at the Hill Dickinson Stadium have “gone quiet” after reports suggested the club could be put up for sale.

Moyes’ future had been expected to form part of Everton’s planning for their new stadium era, but the prospect of a change in ownership appears to have paused those negotiations.

Any potential sale could have significant implications for the club’s longer-term football strategy, including decisions over the manager, recruitment and the direction of the squad.
