manager Sean Dyche says the club’s new owners are “fully supportive” of him, his staff and the team.

The Friedkin Group completed its purchase of the Toffees on Thursday, bringing to an end Farhad Moshiri’s tumultuous tenure.

Incoming executive chairman Marc Watts met with men’s team boss Dyche and women’s team manager Brian Sorensen at the club’s training ground on Friday, as well as addressing all other staff in a wider meeting.

Watts, the president of the Friedkin Group, will be responsible for the management of the club and his overriding message was of bringing stability after recent uncertainty.

“I haven’t said too much about what I want.” said Dyche. “He [Watts] was really asking questions about the feel of what I have learned in my time, the overall feeling of the club, and some of my knowledge and things we can do going forwards.

“It was picking each other’s brains and a very casual conversation, nothing too heavy, but making it clear financial stability is very important moving forwards from their point of view and correcting the standing of the last few years.”
