KAM Sports in advanced talks with Everton owner Moshiri: report

US-based organisation was among the parties involved in talks about a takeover of the Premier League club earlier this year

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri is in advanced talks with US-based KAM Sports group over funding for the new stadium and take a stake in the club, according to a report.

KAM Sports, owned by US real estate magnate Maciek Kaminski, was among the parties involved in talks about a takeover of the Premier League club earlier this year.

After those discussions ended, Moshiri said the club was not for sale, but that it was "pragmatic to explore all potential investment opportunities".

However, sources claim talks have continued, according to the Financial Times.

The Kaminski family was part of a consortium led by former Manchester United and Chelsea chief Peter Kenyon that was looking to buy the club earlier this year.

British-Iranian billionaire Moshiri has invested hundred of millions of pounds into Everton since taking the helm in 2016, and the club is set to move to a new 53,000-seat stadium at Bramley Moore dock in 2004.

But despite spending about £600 million on new players the owner has presided over a chaotic, turbulent period in Everton’s history that saw the team narrowly avoid relegation from the Premier League last season.

Everton have posted record losses of £372.6m across the past three financial years and Moshiri has rarely been seen at Everton matches this year with fans staging protests over his running of the club.

Everton have won only one of their seven league games this terms - a 1-0 victory at home to West Ham United before the recent international break - drawing four after losing their opening two fixtures.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will be fit for Saturday's Premier League trip to Southampton after recovering from a thigh injury, manager Frank Lampard said.

Pickford, 28, sustained the injury during the goalless Merseyside derby against Liverpool earlier this month and missed their win against West Ham as well as England's Nations League fixtures against Italy and Germany.

"Yes, good news," Lampard told reporters on Thursday when asked if Pickford would be available.

Lampard added Dominic Calvert-Lewin's involvement at St Mary's is under consideration as the striker looks to make his first appearance this season, having sustained a knee injury before Everton's league opener against Chelsea in August.

The 25-year-old, who was initially ruled out for six weeks, scored five league goals in 17 appearances during an injury-hit 2021/22 season.

"With Dominic, we're working to make sure he comes back in the best fitness and strength for us, so we'll see on that one," Lampard said.

"We're always searching for the best way to get Dominic fit and keep him fit, because we know the level of player he is, as he's shown here previously."

Everton are 13th in the league standings with seven points from as many games.

Plastic tipping points
Conflict, drought, famine

Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.

Band Aid

Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.

Nepotism is the name of the game

Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan, is one of Bollywood’s most legendary screenwriters. Through his partnership with co-writer Javed Akhtar, Salim is credited with having paved the path for the Indian film industry’s blockbuster format in the 1970s. Something his son now rules the roost of. More importantly, the Salim-Javed duo also created the persona of the “angry young man” for Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, reflecting the angst of the average Indian. In choosing to be the ordinary man’s “hero” as opposed to a thespian in new Bollywood, Salman Khan remains tightly linked to his father’s oeuvre. Thanks dad.
