Moyes says he has never spoken to Everton owner Friedkin

Everton manager David Moyes told reporters that he has never met or spoken to club owner Dan Friedkin.

Friedkin, who has overseen the club since 2016, is responsible for the overall direction and financial backing of the team.

It is unusual for a manager to have no direct contact with the owner, raising questions about how the club’s leadership structure operates.

While Moyes remains in charge of the squad, the remark suggests a potential communication gap that could affect decision‑making and strategy.

The club may look to clarify its internal communication channels to ensure that the manager and owner are aligned on future plans.
