Everton backed to make major transfers after Finch Farm claim – ‘The lads have told me’
EXCLUSIVE: ECHO Everton reporter Chris Beesley speaks to Francis Jeffers about why he believes David Moyes is the right man to guid the Blues to success at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Francis Jeffers has revealed the insider information he’s heard from Finch Farm that convinces him that David Moyes is the right man to revive Everton’s fortunes at the new stadium, despite their “little falling out.” Jeffers, who initially departed the Blues for Arsenal in an £8million transfer in 2001, was brought back to Goodison Park on loan by Moyes for the 2003/04 season.
After steering Everton to nine top-eight finishes, including a best-ever Premier League position of fourth in 2004/05 during his first spell at the club, the Glaswegian returned for a second spell in January this year. When Moyes came back, the Blues were just a point above the relegation zone but with one Premier League game remaining, they are now confirmed in 13th place with a 20-point cushion between themselves and the bottom three.
Speaking courtesy of iGaming software development, Jeffers told the ECHO: “I think David Moyes is the right man to be at the helm at this pivotal moment in the club’s history. We’ve had some tough years, and I think it was important that we got someone who knew Everton and understands what it takes.
