- Everton's failings laid bare vs Hull City, TFG have well and truly screwed David Moyes
Dan Friedkin has never spoken to David Moyes since becoming the face at Everton, and it certainly shows on Merseyside.
Supporters at the Hill Dickinson Stadium are furious with The Friedkin Group's (TFG) decision to sell already, and that anger is justified.

The Toffees had the chance to move up to fourth in the Premier League table on Sunday, 11 October, only to be held in a 2-2 draw by Hull City.
After Joe Gelhardt opened the scoring at the MKM Stadium, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry hit back to overturn the score.
But a lack of belief and tiredness allowed the Tigers back in, with Mohamed Belloumi taking advantage to fire home the equaliser in the 74th minute.
There could have been a winner for either side, but it was unlikely to be Everton, who could only bring a group of lacklustre substitutes.
Everton's substitutes vs Hull City say it all

Tyrique George replacing Brennan Johnson was an easy one; he's been immense since the Toffees agreed a £25million deal with Chelsea.
However, Moyes had admitted that Hayden Hackney isn't up to speed yet, and Jake O'Brien, a centre-back, replaced Ainsley Maitland-Niles at right-back.
Jarrad Branthwaite was already deputising as a makeshift left-back in the absence of Vitalii Mykolenko, with his injury putting the manager in an impossible position.
Unsurprisingly, Branthwaite, naturally a centre-back was unable to support Jack Grealish properly, so the winger's performance suffered as a result.

And this is all without mentioning the duo of 'super subs' in Charly Alcaraz and Tyler Dibling, who have a combined total of two goals over the last two seasons.
David Moyes could solve Everton selection dilemma by playing star 'in new role' vs Hull TFG to make 'quick profit' as Everton takeover update emerges - Stefan Borson TFG may have imploded Everton's season
It has become very obvious TFG were all about making money during the summer, even considering selling Harrison Armstrong for profit.
Had there not been the total uproar, the 19-year-old, boyhood midfielder would have been sold to Nottingham Forest without another thought.

TFG have a lot to answer for, and leaving Moyes in the dark with a lack of transfers ahead of the 2026-27 campaign is undoubtedly one of them.
The American owners had quickly become legends on Merseyside, but any praise and love has instantly vanished, despite the Toffees' brilliant start to the season.
