Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has offered his “total support” to manager Ronald Koeman and insisted they will recover from a slow start that has seen the Dutchman’s side lose four of their opening seven fixtures in the Premier League.
Burnley’s first win at Goodison Park since 1976 left Everton in 16th place and has piled the pressure on Koeman after the disappointing 2-2 draw against Apollon Limassol in the Europa league last week. But Moshiri, who spent almost £140m on new signings during the summer, was adamant that the former Southampton manager is the right person to arrest their slump.
“We are in a bad moment,” Moshiri said in a statement released to Sky Sports presenter Jim White after the defeat to Burnley on Sunday. “But we have played the four title contenders, three away. Today was an unexpected loss. The four pre-qualifying Uefa games and two group games on Thursdays haven’t helped. There is mental and physical fatigue and seven injuries.
“These are early days Koeman has my total support. We have great fans and they deserve better. We know the honest and objective expectations of our supporters and will not let them down.”
