Everton Eye Brendan Rodgers Amid Moyes Pressure

Exclusive reports have surfaced claiming Everton’s new owners, The Friedkin Group, are seriously exploring Brendan Rodgers as a potential successor to current boss David Moyes. According to insider sources, the American billionaires crave “exciting football” to christen their glittering new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium next season, and Moyes finds himself skating on dangerously thin ice.

The Friedkins, fresh from stabilising the club after the chaotic Moshiri era, completed their takeover last December and wasted no time reshaping the squad. Summer signings like French striker Thierno Barry (£27m from Villarreal) and Jack Grealish (loan from Manchester City) signal ambition, yet results have stuttered. Everton sit 14th after a frustrating 1-1 draw at Sunderland, with Moyes criticised for blunt tactics and over-reliance on grit over flair.

Rodgers, the former Liverpool and Celtic maestro, is suddenly available after resigning from an unnamed role last week. His attacking philosophy—high-pressing, possession-dominant—aligns perfectly with the owners’ vision for entertaining crowds at the 52,888-seater waterfront arena. “Watch this space,” teased one source, hinting at imminent talks.Moyes, in his second spell since January, steadied the ship post-Sean Dyche but faces mounting scrutiny. Fans chant for progression, not survival. Yet Rodgers’ Anfield ties could spark backlash—supporters warn of “revolt” over the ex-Red.
