Substitute Bobby de Cordova-Reid scored the winning goal as Fulham edged to victory over wasteful Everton in their opening game of the new Premier League season.
Forward De Cordova-Reid, who replaced Willian at half-time, snuck in unmarked at the far post to convert from Andreas Pereira's pass to give manager Marco Silva the perfect start to the new campaign.
The Jamaica international could have added to his 73rd-minute strike but was unable to keep his volley from inside the box under control, but his side still somehow came away with all three points.
Summer signing Raul Jimenez may have also struck the foot of the post for Fulham, but hosts Everton were left ruing the numerous gilt-edged chances they missed.
Striker Neal Maupay squandered the best opportunities, seeing three efforts saved by the inspired Bernd Leno including a sharp, instinctive block from close range.
The German goalkeeper had also denied Abdoulaye Doucoure early on, while full-back Nathan Patterson struck the crossbar from close range, as the Toffees begin the season with a tough-to-take defeat.

They are reasonably solid across most of the pitch. There is also enough creativity there for them to continue nicking enough narrow wins at home to stay up.
They created enough clear chances against Fulham to win the game by a comfortable margin.
But their core problem was plain to see. They need a good top level striker who will put away those chances. And there aren’t too many of these around or available.

Everton have condemned the social media abuse suffered by striker Neal Maupay following Saturday's Premier League defeat by Fulham at Goodison Park.
Maupay missed several chances in the 1-0 loss and later posted a screenshot of the abuse he received on Instagram.
"This is what I get for not scoring. No one should ever deal with this," he wrote.
"We stand firmly against such behaviour and are investigating the accounts that have targeted Neal," said Everton.
Visitors Fulham added their support for the player, saying: "We stand with Neal Maupay and support Everton's message to report, condemn and highlight such abuse."

Everton are in advanced talks to sign winger Jack Harrison from Championship side Leeds United on a season-long loan deal.
The Englishman, 26, is having a medical before the proposed move and would be Everton's fourth signing of the summer.
Harrison joined Leeds in 2021 for £11m from Manchester City, having been on loan at the club since 2018, and has scored 34 goals in 206 games.
Everton began the season with a 1-0 home defeat by Fulham on Saturday.
The Toffees and Leeds have also been in talks to sign Italy winger Wilfried Gnonto, but are yet to reach an agreement for the 19-year-old.
Gnonto has refused to play for Leeds and the club have opened disciplinary proceedings against the player.
Everton also have an interest in signing Portuguese striker Beto, 25, from Serie A side Udinese, but talks are not yet at an advanced stage.

43 shots, 4.6 expected goals…. no goals.
That is very worrying.

It's alright Everton are in a mess every season and we always gift them 3 points at goodison when we play them. Probably same thing again in game after international break.

Terrible defence, woeful attack. Dycheball is not a viable strategy in 2023 anywhere outside of Burnley.

They grabbed an equaliser in this game it seems, but were then lucky that Jordan Pickford rescued them a point at the end with one of his wonder saves.
So that’s 1 point from 4 games. Goal difference -6.
This doesn’t do much to uphold the theory that Sean Dyche is supposedly effective at organising a defence.
If they can’t beat Sheffield United, it begs the question, who can they beat?
Not a good start at all.

Everton have Arsenal at home next, their favourite fixture. In last 7 home games they have won 5, drawn 1 lost 1 (won 3 in a row)
Most of those games including the last 2 seasons they went into the game in worst form then now.
They will play their usual aggressive in your face football at goodison which Arsenal can't handle.

Everton takeover news: Farhad Moshiri on verge of sale to American investment firm
Premier League strugglers Everton are close to being sold to Miami-based investment firm 777 Partners.
The financially-stricken Toffees resumed discussions with the American company after talks with MSP Sports Capital collapsed in August.
The takeover will bring to an end the tumultuous tenure of owner Farhad Moshiri, who first invested in 2016.
A source close to Moshiri said Everton have sought investment for a while, but the deal is not yet complete.
Sean Dyche's side lie 18th in the league after picking up just one point from their opening four games so far this season.
Everton are in disarray both on and off the pitch, narrowly escaping relegation in the last two seasons, including staying up with victory on the final day last term.
Next month the club will go before an independent commission for an alleged breach of the Premier League's financial fair play rules, but Everton have denied wrongdoing and said they were "prepared to robustly defend" their position.
In March, the club posted financial losses for the fifth successive year, taking their cumulative losses over the past five years to more than £430m.
They are also in the process of building a new stadium on Bramley Moore Dock and costs could reach £760m, a £260m increase on figures quoted by the club last year.
Everton and 777 did not respond when contacted by BBC Sport.
What has happened at Everton?
Farhad Moshiri has invested more than £750m in Everton since 2016
In February, Moshiri told the fans' advisory board the club was "not for sale" but he had been talking to "top investors of real quality".
British-Iranian businessman Moshiri has invested more than £750m since 2016, but some supporters have been deeply unhappy about his ownership of the club.
Toffees fans held protests before some home games last season and called for Moshiri and the board to leave the club.
Chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief finance and strategy officer Grant Ingles and non-executive director Graeme Sharp have all since left their boardroom roles, but chairman Bill Kenwright remains in his post.
In the latest accounts, the club had an annual turnover of £181m - down from £193.1m - having suspended commercial sponsorship arrangements with Russian companies in March 2022.
Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, who had his assets frozen by the European Union following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, has a 49% stake in USM Holdings, which sponsored Everton's training ground.
Moshiri, who is chairman of USM Holdings, put in a cash injection of £70m in 2021-22.
777 Partners is an investment platform based in Miami that has branched out into sports clubs over the past few years.
They aim to provide growth capital for businesses and describe their foray into the sports market as a being an "investment in the long game".
They already have already invested in various football clubs around the world, including Vasco de Gama in Brazil, Standard Liege in Belgium and Hertha Berlin of Germany, but have faced protests from supporters about the way their clubs are run.
777 bought a 45% stake in the British Basketball League in 2021, in a deal which was determined to present no conflict of interest despite the same firm also owning the London Lions, who won the title last season.
In a statement, 777 said they "categorically confirm that there is no investigation into its ownership of the London Lions, and that these rumours are completely unfounded".
The firm also holds a share in La Liga side Sevilla, who won the Europa League last season.
777's interests are not limited to sport - they also have assets in insurance, aviation, media and entertainment.
Should the deal be completed, it would mean half of the 20 Premier League teams would be American-owned.

Premier League Everton are set to have new owners after Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to American investment fund 777 Partners.
The takeover would bring to an end the tumultuous tenure of British-Iranian Moshiri, who first invested in 2016.
The sale is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, subject to Premier League, Football Association and Financial Conduct Authority approval.
The takeover would mean half of the 20 top-flight clubs are American-owned.
Moshiri said in a statement: "The nature of ownership and financing of top football clubs has changed immeasurably since I first invested in Everton over seven years ago.
"The days of an owner/benefactor are seemingly out of reach for most, and the biggest clubs are now typically owned by well-resourced private equity firms, specialist sports investors or state-backed companies and funds."
777 founder Josh Wander said: "We are truly humbled by the opportunity to become part of the Everton family as custodians of the club, and consider it a privilege to be able to build on its proud heritage and values.
"Our primary objective is to work with fans and stakeholders to develop the sporting and commercial infrastructure for the men's and women's teams that will deliver results for future generations of Everton supporters."

Everton chairman and theatre producer Bill Kenwright, has died at the age of 78. He had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his liver eight weeks ago.
Everton said it was "in mourning" following the death of Kenwright, who was the club's longest-serving chairman for more than a century. "The club has lost a chairman, a leader, a friend, and an inspiration," Everton added.
Everton said it was "in mourning" following the death of Kenwright, who was the club's longest-serving chairman for more than a century. "The club has lost a chairman, a leader, a friend, and an inspiration," Everton added.
The Premier League has reportedly recommended that Everton should be hit with a 12-point deduction if found guilty of breaching its financial fair play rules.
Everton were referred by the Premier League to an independent commission in March following an audit of all top-flight clubs’ financial records for the 2021-22 season. The details of the charge have not been disclosed but are believed to relate to a tax issue connected to loans for Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore dock. The disciplinary hearing began last week and a verdict is expected this year.
Jamie Fahey with his sons and friend and the late Everton chairman, Bill Kenwright, in 2011
The league’s profitability and sustainability rules allow clubs to lose a maximum of £105m over a three‑year period or face sanctions. Everton had recorded losses of £371.8m over the previous three years and annual losses for five consecutive years – more than £430m in total over the period.
Everton could be fined or hit with a transfer embargo if found guilty but, according to the Daily Telegraph, the Premier League has recommended deduction up to a maximum of 12 points. As things stand, such a deduction would leave Everton bottom with minus five points and facing a third battle in three years to avoid relegation to the Championship.
In a statement regarding the Telegraph’s report, the Premier League said: “We never comment on cases until they are finished and it was a private hearing.” Everton are also not commenting on the hearing but have long insisted they have not broken the rules in question. In a statement issued on the day the referral was confirmed, the club said: “[It] strongly contests the allegation of non-compliance and together with its independent team of experts is entirely confident that it remains compliant with all financial rules and regulations.
“Everton is prepared to robustly defend its position to the commission. The club has, over several years, provided information to the Premier League in an open and transparent manner and has consciously chosen to act with the utmost good faith at all times.”
The club have known from the outset of this case that no punishment is off the table. However, Goodison officials are annoyed by the timing of this latest story, should it be true, given it comes less than 24 hours after the death of long-serving chairman Bill Kenwright was announced.
Meanwhile, Everton continue to be the subject of a takeover bid by American private investment firm 777 Partners. On the pitch, Sean Dyche’s side have also lost six of their opening nine league games of the season, the most recent of which was the 2-0 defeat by Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.

Full statement
Everton Football Club is both shocked and disappointed by the ruling of the Premier League’s Commission.
The Club believes that the Commission has imposed a wholly disproportionate and unjust sporting sanction. The Club has already communicated its intention to appeal the decision to the Premier League. The appeal process will now commence and the Club’s case will be heard by an Appeal Board appointed pursuant to the Premier League’s rules in due course.
Everton maintains that it has been open and transparent in the information it has provided to the Premier League and that it has always respected the integrity of the process. The Club does not recognise the finding that it failed to act with the utmost good faith and it does not understand this to have been an allegation made by the Premier League during the course of proceedings. Both the harshness and severity of the sanction imposed by the Commission are neither a fair nor a reasonable reflection of the evidence submitted.
The Club will also monitor with great interest the decisions made in any other cases concerning the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Everton cannot comment on this matter any further until the appeal process has concluded.

The mayor of Liverpool, Steve Rotheram, has described Everton’s 10-point deduction as “wholly disproportionate” and vowed to support the club’s appeal in a letter to the Premier League’s chief executive.
Everton were plunged into the relegation zone last week after being given the heaviest punishment ever handed to a Premier League team for breaching financial rules. An independent commission found the club lost £124.5m over the financial period covering four years to July 2022, £19.5m above the permitted threshold.
The punishment has led to a barrage of criticism from supporters, with Rotheram adding his voice to the outrage on Monday after writing to Richard Masters to express his “deep concern and opposition” and urge the league to “take a more lenient approach and consider alternative forms of punishment that do not unfairly penalize the club’s players and supporters”.
His letter read: “The sanction imposed is not only unprecedented but a wholly disproportionate one too. While I understand, and indeed support, the importance of maintaining discipline and upholding the integrity of the sport, it is crucial to ensure that any punitive measures are proportionate and just. I do not believe that this punishment fits the crime.
“The decision to deduct 10 points from Everton is disproportionately severe, especially considering the club’s willingness and proactivity in working in partnership with the Premier League to ensure all dealings were FFP compliant when it was clear they were close to breaching the rules.”
Rotheram added: “I completely support the club’s appeal and would urge you to take a more lenient approach and consider alternative forms of punishment that do not unfairly penalize the club’s players and supporters.
“As a founding member of both the Football League and Premier League, Everton are an important part of the fabric of English football. They deserve to be treated fairly, justly and with respect.”

MP takes Everton's 10-point deduction to parliament
Labour MP lan Byrne has tabled an 'early day motion' in parliament condemning Everton's 10-point deduction in the Premier League and called for an independent football regulator to be established immediately.
Everton became the first Premier League club to be deducted points for breaching financial sustainability rules on Friday. An independent commission imposed an immediate deduction that saw the Merseyside club drop to second-from-bottom from 14th.
Byrne, MP for Liverpool, West Derby, said the points deduction was "grossly unjust" and that the level of sanction lacked "any legal or equitable foundation or justification..."
"This House contends the Premier League can no longer fairly govern top-flight football without independent scrutiny and legislation," he said in the EDM, which MPs can sign up to but are not binding and often do not lead to any action.

The Director of Football in his statement:
Given the events of the last week, I felt it was important I share with you the thoughts of myself, Sean and all the staff and players here at Finch Farm as we prepare for the return to Premier League action this weekend.
Colin’s video message last Friday echoed my views and the sentiment of everybody here at Finch Farm. We are shocked by what we believe is a wholly disproportionate and unjust ruling by the Premier League’s commission.
We cannot say anything further on the commission’s findings until the conclusion of the appeal process - and the players and manager cannot be drawn on any specifics relating to the commission’s ruling in the media duties they will be fulfilling in the days and weeks ahead.
But the clear and tangible impact on our league position because of that ruling is clear to see in the Premier League table. We return to action five places lower than the 14th position held following our hard-fought victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
The three points from that victory may no longer be accounted for in the table - nor seven other hard-earned points amassed during this season. But what does remain in place is the unity, focus and determination that helped earn those points on the field of play - now supplemented by the additional fuel of what we believe is a wholly disproportionate ruling.
We are rallying in the face of a sporting sanction in the only way we can - and that is our focus and hard work in supporting the team in delivering to their fullest on the pitch.
Everton is a special football club. It is a special football club because of its people - our players, staff and fans.
We go into this weekend having secured six wins from our last nine outings in all competitions. The team has displayed a level of effort, camaraderie and bravery that is synonymous with this club in earning those victories.
That spirit remains strong - unwavering. Sean and the players are fully focused on the work that lies ahead. And everybody at Finch Farm is united.
We know that every Evertonian is behind us. That is never taken for granted, but always hugely appreciated and valued. We feel the strength of support, and we will continue to use that backing to drive us on.

Given the events of the last week, I felt it was important I share with you the thoughts of myself, Sean and all the staff and players here at Finch Farm as we prepare for the return to Premier League action this weekend.
Colin’s video message last Friday echoed my views and the sentiment of everybody here at Finch Farm. We are shocked by what we believe is a wholly disproportionate and unjust ruling by the Premier League’s commission.
We cannot say anything further on the commission’s findings until the conclusion of the appeal process - and the players and manager cannot be drawn on any specifics relating to the commission’s ruling in the media duties they will be fulfilling in the days and weeks ahead.

Everton to make formal appeal to Premier League by Friday after 10-point deduction
Everton will submit a formal appeal to the independent commission which handed them an unprecedented 10-point Premier League deduction by Friday's deadline.
The Toffees received the biggest sporting sanction in Premier League history after being found to have breached financial rules.
The club admitted the breach but said they were "shocked and disappointed" at the severity of the punishment.
The appeal will be heard and concluded before the end of this season.
The club have not been told how the figure of 10 points was reached by the independent commission which decided the sanction, and feel a sporting penalty for a breach of accounting is unjust.
The appeal will go before a judicial panel which will review the ruling of the commission, assessing the process and if, in their opinion, the penalty issued was fair or not.
The points deduction dropped Everton from 14th in the Premier League table to 19th, in the relegation zone and now five points adrift of safety.

Everton scoreboard responded to poverty chanting in Chelsea game with foodbank advert
Everton will continue to advertise charity foodbanks on the Goodison Park scoreboard as a direct response to opposition fans' 'poverty chanting', after it was praised on social media this weekend.
Following similar chanting during the previous matches against Manchester United and Newcastle at Goodison Park, Everton had engaged with the fans' advisory board and fans' forum to discuss what could be done.
In a planned move, it was decided the message of 'fans supporting foodbanks' would be displayed on the big screen inside the stadium whenever the chants - such as "Feed the Scousers" and "sign on" - were heard in Sunday's Premier League match against Chelsea.
They are songs specifically aimed at Everton and Liverpool fans by rival supporters mocking Merseysiders around the theme of unemployment.
In total, the message flashed up three times during Everton's 2-0 win over Chelsea - the first coming after just 34 seconds - and the club said this will continue throughout the season.
Fans Supporting Foodbanks is a joint initiative by Everton fan group Blue Union and Liverpool's Spirit of Shankly in the city and Everton said on social media it was "proud" of the "vital" work being done in their communities.
Fans Supporting Foodbanks said: "A club and its fan base standing together as one. It's not big or smart to chant about poverty and food insecurity."
Goals from Abdoulaye Doucoure and Lewis Dobbin gave the Toffees the victory and after the opening goal, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said: "Delighted Everton have gone in front after the nonsense getting sung by the Chelsea fans."
Natalie Smith, an Everton fan from Liverpool who was at the match, told the BBC's Newsbeat program: "I thought it was brilliant by Everton Football Club to put the picture up. I think the right way to respond to it was to raise awareness."
The move was backed by other fans in the city too. Dan Morgan, a Liverpool fan, said he had experienced the "very dated, very unfunny, very boring" chants following his team "in stadiums up and down the country".
"I don't think it's something you can just say is just fair game in terms of tribalism and how supporters communicate to each other," he added.
"It's really sad to hear the chants on Thursday from the Newcastle supporters and then hearing it again on Sunday from the Chelsea supporters," said Liverpool West Derby MP and Fans Supporting Foodbanks campaign co-founder Ian Byrne.
"We've been going for eight years now, and we've done lots of work with Newcastle and Chelsea fans. It's not as if those supporters aren't living in areas where they're seeing the cost of living crisis in their communities.
"It was extremely disappointing to hear, but I thought Everton's response was phenomenal."

Everton's move to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock has been pushed back to the start of the 2025-26 season.
The Toffees had originally planned to move in during the 2024-25 campaign, but that will now be the final full season at Goodison Park instead.
The decision not to move mid-season was driven by commercial and logistical reasons, and supporter feedback.
The Merseyside club say the 52,888-capacity stadium remains on schedule to be completed by the end of 2024.
"Firstly, and to be absolutely clear, our decision to not move in mid-season is not because of a construction delay," said interim chief executive Colin Chong.
"It is a club decision driven by a combination of commercial insight, a comprehensive review of the logistics required, an analysis of the potential impact upon our football operations and, importantly, fan feedback sourced as part of our recent stadium migration survey."
Everton added there will be a series of events to mark their departure from Goodison Park, their home since 1892, throughout the 2024-25 season.
The club has been deducted 10 points from the Premier League after an independent commission found Everton's losses to 2021-22 amounted to £124.5m, with English top-flight clubs only permitted to lose £105m over three years.
Everton believe interest payments on money borrowed to build the club's new £760m stadium at Bramley Moore Dock were permissible 'add backs' for profit and sustainability calculations in the 2021-22 financial year.
But the commission disagreed and did not accept the club's claim of mitigating factors such as compliance with the Premier League process over the past two years.
Everton are the only current top-flight club to be building a new stadium.
Costs for the project have increased from £500m to £760m.

Bill Kenwright funeral: Sean Dyche, Kenny Dalglish and Frank Lampard pay tribute to former Everton chairman
Tributes have been paid to Bill Kenwright at a memorial service for the former Everton chairman.Kenwright died in October aged 78 just a couple of weeks after a major operation to remove a cancerous tumour from his liver. His family held a small, private funeral at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral and his friends and colleagues from the world of football and entertainment paid their respects.
Current Toffees manager Sean Dyche and his first-team squad - as well as the club's youth teams - were present as well as former managers and ex-players.
Sir Kenny Dalglish headed a delegation of officials and former players from Everton's near-neighbours Liverpool, boxer and I'm A Celebrity runner-up Tony Bellew and Coleen Rooney, the wife of former Everton forward Wayne, were also in attendance, while there were also stars of stage and screen.
Mayor of Manchester and Everton fan Andy Burnham said: "Nobody was a bigger Blue than Bill. Nobody had a bigger heart than Bill.
"The legacy of Bill Kenwright is countless acts of generosity which lifted thousands of lives."
On the building of a new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock, which the club will move to for the start of the 2025-26 season, Burnham said Kenwright's "mission has been accomplished".
However, Burnham said his proudest moment came when Kenwright was asked to address the service for the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster held at Anfield.
"His finest hour came in front of the Kop in 2014: here was the chairman of my football club giving a speech which was so right and so full of emotion - and I couldn't have been prouder of him that day," he added.
Margaret Aspinall, the former chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group who lost her son James in the 1989 disaster which claimed 97 lives, built up a close relationship with the former Everton chairman after he offered his support in the wake of the tragedy.
"On behalf of our city we are all going to miss Bill tremendously. Bill Kenwright will never walk alone," she said.
Kenwright's long-term partner, the actress Jenny Seagrove, admitted: "He wasn't my Bill, he was our Bill. He never forgot where he came from."
Former Everton midfielder Peter Reid also spoke at the service, saying: "What a fitting tribute it would be if we could win a trophy for him. No pressure Dychey."
Current captain Seamus Coleman said that on his arrival at the club from Sligo Rovers in 2009, Kenwright "helped me understand what Everton Football Club meant to people. Thank you Mr Chairman for making me an Evertonian".
Away from football, Rufus Norris, artistic director of the National Theatre, described Kenwright as "legendary".
"He was an absolute giant in the theatre world," he said.
Everton in the Community's Spirit choir sang Elton John's 'I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues', while there were also solo performances from Marti Pellow and former Spice Girl Mel C, who sang a song from Kenwright's long-running West End musical Blood Brothers.
In keeping with his theatrical background there was a standing ovation from the congregation at the conclusion, which finished with a soundbite of Kenwright himself saying: "For one last time, good night and God bless."

Everton appeal against Dominic Calvert-Lewin red card
Everton have appealed against the red card given to Dominic Calvert-Lewin in Thursday's goalless FA Cup third-round tie at Crystal Palace.
The 26-year-old striker faces a three-game ban after being dismissed for the first time in his career.
He had his studs up in a challenge with Nathaniel Clyne and clipped the Palace defender's shin with minimal contact.
Everton say they have "notified the Football Association" of their decision to appeal.
Dyche unhappy with decision to send off Calvert-Lewin
Referee Chris Kavanagh originally took no action but reviewed the incident on the monitor following an intervention from video assistant referee (VAR) Michael Salisbury before showing Calvert-Lewin the red card in the 79th minute.
"I have no clue what that [monitor] is there for," said Everton manager Sean Dyche following the game.
"Every fan must be going 'what is the point?' We all know the outcome, they are going to agree with everything they're being told.
"The chance of having something turned over is miniscule so why even bother?
"I'm a fan [of VAR] but we're all aware it needs tidying up. I thought it was getting tidied up but it seems to have stepped back a little bit. I remain a fan, but it is beginning to test my patience."

777 Partners inject additional $50m into Everton, total funding north of $180m
The U.S. investment firm is still awaiting Premier League approval for its proposed takeover.
But the latest sum takes its total cash injection in the Merseyside club so far to a figure north of $180m after providing a sizeable loan worth tens of millions in September.
The latest boost will not be available for transfers, but instead will be used for ongoing stadium costs and working capital amid a perilous situation that has already brought a 10-point deduction from the Premier League, which the club has appealed.
The club’s new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium is due to open at the start of the 2025-26 season, with current majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri estimating the costs will run to £760m ($926m).
Moshiri signed an agreement with 777 Partners in September that would see the Miami-based group acquire his 94.1 per cent shares in the Premier League club in full.
777 Partners is a private investment firm, founded in 2015 and led by managing partners Steven Pasko and Josh Wander.
It holds a background across several sectors including aviation, financial services, insurance and media, while it has recently built a global multi-club network of football clubs.

Everton boss Sean Dyche says charges for breaching financial rules 'tough to take'
Everton manager Sean Dyche says it is "tough to take" after the club were again charged with breaching the Premier League's financial rules.
The Toffees, along with Nottingham Forest, have been referred to an independent commission for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules in their accounts for 2022-23.
Everton are already appealing a 10-point deduction from a previous charge.
They are 17th in the Premier League, one point above the relegation zone.
Under Premier League regulations, clubs can lose a maximum of £105m over a three-season period, or £35m per campaign, before facing sanctions.
They received an immediate 10-point deduction - the biggest punishment in Premier League history - in November after an independent commission found the club's losses to 2021-22 amounted to £124.5m and their appeal is due to be heard before the end of this season.
For the latest charge the hearings must be concluded within 12 weeks. Appeal hearings must be held before 24 May 2024 and the complaint resolved before 1 June.
Speaking before Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay against Crystal Palace, Dyche said Everton were in the bottom three to four Premier League clubs for net spend "over the last three to four seasons" and it was a "start point of the club motioning to do things correctly".
He added: "Since I have been here we have let players go out of contract - some we would've kept - but we couldn't do that.
"We have been working hard to lower everything here. We sold three young players in the timelines we were given to make sure the money was in. We wouldn't have normally sold those young players, quite obviously.
"The new stadium speaks for itself, the affect that'll have on the city, as much as anything, the Evertonians.
"Alongside that, trying to still put out a team out there that can be competitive. Then you end up with an on-pitch sanction. So you're like, we are trying to do everything we can to solve these conundrums.
"There have been mistakes made I'm sure down the years but that's a natural part of football and player trading, it's not an exact science, it's very difficult in fact.
"We get the initial spell which is still the focus, the appeal side of things and you lose 10 points.
"It's an on-pitch sanction but we've actually been cutting the idea of being on-pitch powerful by resources and trying to do the right things. It's a bit of a tough one in my timeline of a year to take.
"It's a strange situation to get an on-pitch sanction of 10 points - which we're still waiting on the appeal quite obviously."
Dyche took over at Everton a year ago following the sacking of Frank Lampard, with the club 19th in the league and two points from safety.
Asked whether he would have been wary of taking the position had he known about the club's complex situation, Dyche said there is no "perfect job" in football.
"I don't mind getting my teeth into something," he said. "It's a great history, a great club. These chances don't always come along.
"You are probably going to get one with its challenges. There are probably more so here than others I was offered in my nine months out of the game, but I am never going to knock that."
Dyche hopes the outcome of the appeal and any further charges will be swift so the club can look forward to the future.
"I can only imagine with all these things it takes time," added the 52-year-old.
"If they get it inside the season it would be helpful, I don't think anyone wants to finish the season and be scratching their heads wondering.
"We would like to think that we won't be in that predicament but someone might be. I can presume that they'd like to get these things done inside of the season as well."

Everton manager Sean Dyche says the club hopes to hear the outcome of its appeal against a 10-point deduction "around the end of the month".
Everton appealed the Premier League's decision to dock them points for financial rule breaches in December.
"The guidelines that [the media] suggest, and we suggest, have been around the end of the month," said Dyche, whose side are currently fourth from bottom in the table.
"We will just have to wait and see."
Everton received an immediate 10-point deduction in November after being found to have breached the Premier League's financial rules in the three-year period to 2021-22.
While the club admitted the initial breach, Everton said they were "shocked and disappointed" at the severity of the punishment - the biggest in Premier League history.
The appeal with the Premier League's judicial panel will be heard and concluded before the end of the season.
The Toffees, along with Nottingham Forest, have since been referred to an independent commission for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules in their accounts for 2022-23.
But Everton's second case cannot be heard until their appeal against the 10-point deduction by a previous commission has been determined.
"It's in the hands of the powers that be and it's an ongoing process as far as I know," added Dyche.
"I don't know the legalities of appeals but I think it is in everyone's interest [that it is resolved soon]. Firstly our own, of course, but I think everyone is scratching their heads on the first one and wondering when it is going to come to a close.
"We don't know if that 10 points [deduction] is fact still. It would be helpful [to know] sooner rather than later. I don't know the legal process, the timescales and why it takes so long, so we just have to wait and see."
Under Premier League regulations, clubs can lose a maximum of £105m over a three-season period, or £35m per campaign, before facing sanctions.
The points deduction dropped Everton from 14th in the Premier League table to 19th.
They are now 17th - above the relegation places only on goal difference with 12 games remaining - but would be 12th without the deduction.
"The players are working very hard, very diligently and I am very pleased with what they are doing on a daily basis and in the games," said Dyche.
"I don't think it is [in their minds] in a literal way on a daily basis, but I am sure it is in the back of their minds. They are still wondering 'when are you going to tell us where we are at and give us more of a factual view of it?'
"We are of the same mindset, it is what it is. We look at where it is now and see what comes. Unfortunately, that process is taking some time."

While the club admitted the initial breach, Everton said they were "shocked and disappointed" at the severity of the punishment - the biggest in Premier League history.
The appeal with the Premier League's judicial panel will be heard and concluded before the end of the season.
The Toffees, along with Nottingham Forest, have since been referred to an independent commission for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules in their accounts for 2022-23.
But Everton's second case cannot be heard until their appeal against the 10-point deduction by a previous commission has been determined.
"It's in the hands of the powers that be and it's an ongoing process as far as I know," added Dyche.
"I don't know the legalities of appeals but I think it is in everyone's interest [that it is resolved soon]. Firstly our own, of course, but I think everyone is scratching their heads on the first one and wondering when it is going to come to a close.
"We don't know if that 10 points [deduction] is fact still. It would be helpful [to know] sooner rather than later. I don't know the legal process, the timescales and why it takes so long, so we just have to wait and see."
Under Premier League regulations, clubs can lose a maximum of £105m over a three-season period, or £35m per campaign, before facing sanctions.
The points deduction dropped Everton from 14th in the Premier League table to 19th.
They are now 17th - above the relegation places only on goal difference with 12 games remaining - but would be 12th without the deduction.
"The players are working very hard, very diligently and I am very pleased with what they are doing on a daily basis and in the games," said Dyche.
"I don't think it is [in their minds] in a literal way on a daily basis, but I am sure it is in the back of their minds. They are still wondering 'when are you going to tell us where we are at and give us more of a factual view of it?'
"We are of the same mindset, it is what it is. We look at where it is now and see what comes. Unfortunately, that process is taking some time."

Jarrad Branthwaite is set to receive his first call up to the England senior squad.
He won the European Championships in Georgia last summer with England U21s and was highlighted by those within the Football Association as a player who could progress quickly and be in with a chance of being in the senior international squad soon.
His form for Everton has been impressive, with only Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool having conceded fewer goals than the Toffees this season.

Everton points deduction: Toffees lodge appeal against second points deduction
Everton have lodged a formal appeal against their second points deduction for breaching the Premier League's financial rules, BBC Radio Merseyside understands.
The Toffees had a 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal in February for the three-year period to 2021-22.
The latest appeal process must be concluded by 24 May, five days after the final Premier League game.
Sean Dyche's side sit 16th in the table, two points above the drop zone.
The Blues travel to face Chelsea in the league on Monday (kick-off 20:00 BST) aiming to distance themselves from the relegation zone.
Profit and sustainability rules (PSR) permit clubs to lose £105m over three years and an independent commission found Everton breached that by £16.6m for the three-year period to 2022-23.
The Merseyside club could yet face a further points deduction in relation to interest costs associated with the building of the club's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, though that issue is unlikely to be resolved before the end of the season.

Everton takeover plunged into doubt amid claims 777 is running out of money
Sources say they are 'confident' of completing a takeover deal but it is becoming impossible to ignore the red flags surrounding the situation
It says much about the fragile state of Everton that a budget airline collapsing on the other side of the planet has set alarm bells ringing at Goodison Park.
Just days after securing Premier League survival – an achievement that has kickstarted forward planning in the football department – further doubts have emerged about 777 Partners’ proposed takeover of the club.
The collapse of the group’s Australian airline Bonza, which ceased trading on Tuesday leaving passengers stranded, came as news emerged that Everton were speaking to restructuring advisers about the club’s debt, which has outstripped £400m.
While sources denied talk that was a precursor to a potential administration or the takeover collapsing, it is a worrying sign of how precarious Everton’s finances are. Indeed, one source told i it was “no surprise” that the board were taking these precautions. But it is nonetheless alarming given the US-backed takeover feels on a knife edge.
Part of Everton’s debt is £200m that 777 have provided the club to cover running costs. The April payment of £15m cleared on Tuesday but rather than a sign of confidence in the deal, it merely keeps them “in the game”, while doubts swirl about their suitability and ability to complete a takeover deal that has rumbling along for eight months.

Potential Everton buyers 777 accused of fraud
Everton's prospective owners 777 Partners and the firm's co-owner Josh Wander have been accused of a "fraudulent scheme" by a lender in a civil court filing in New York.
London-based Leadenhall Capital Partners LLP and Leadenhall Life Insurance Linked Investments Fund PLC claim Wander and 777 'pledged' over $350m (£279m) in assets as collateral for a credit facility agreement, but knew they "did not exist" or were "not actually owned by Wander’s entities".
Leadenhall's 82-page filing, which was submitted on Friday as part of its civil claim, says it is seeking to recover "millions of dollars in damages from a house of cards on the brink of collapse".
777 Partners declined to comment when contacted by BBC Sport.
The latest development casts further doubt over whether 777 can complete a protracted takeover of the Toffees after agreeing to buy Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake in the club last September.
The Miami-based investment firm has held discussions with a private equity firm specialising in 'distressed debt' as it aims to seal a deal that it is yet to be ratified by the Premier League.
The firm already owns stakes in European teams including Genoa, Sevilla, Hertha Berlin and Standard Liege, as well as Brazilian club Vasco da Gama.
777 has endured financial strife this week, eventually sending a delayed payment of £16m to Everton for day-to-day operational costs, and having an airline it owns enter voluntary administration.
Meanwhile, 777's UK public relations advisers have stopped representing the company after saying the firm did not meet payments on fees and it remains to be seen whether they will re-engage.
Leadenhall's US court filing stated: "Everton is the latest shiny object of Wander’s fraudulent scheme, solvency aside.
"Upon information and belief, Wander and [co-owner Steven] Pasko are operating a giant shell game at best, and an outright Ponzi scheme at worst, that takes money in from investors and lenders and shuffles it around to various money-losing alter egos in the enterprise to disguise their true financial condition."
BBC Sport contacted Wander separately on Saturday for comment is awaiting a response.

Everton have withdrawn their appeal against a two-point deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules.
The Toffees were docked two points after an independent commission found the club had breached profit and sustainability rules (PSR) by £16.6m for the three-year period to 2022-23.
The appeal was due to take place next week with a verdict announced before the final game of the season against Arsenal on 19 May.
The Toffees had a 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal in February for PSR breaches in the three-year period to 2021-22.
Successive home wins over Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Brentford last month secured Everton's Premier League safety.

777 call in finance experts as Everton uncertainty grows
The embattled prospective buyers of Everton, 777 Partners, have engaged finance restructuring experts, casting further doubts over their ability to complete a takeover of the Toffees.
777 agreed to buy majority owner Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake in the club in September, but uncertainty is growing over whether they can get the deal over the line.
Over the last two weeks, the Miami-based investment firm has come up against accusations of fraud and suffered financial difficulties in other parts of the business.
Moshiri has held talks with 777 this week as he looks for clarity regarding their situation, and whether they have the cash available to pay off a £158m loan owed to MSP Sports Capital.
But in a memo seen by BBC Sport, 777 have now appointed a team from Los Angeles-based firm B Riley Financial to help with "various operational challenges".
The memo added a "highly skilled consultant" will be working closely with the 777 team to "rationalise" the business and select the "most profitable path forward for our investments".

Everton interested in loan deal for Phillips
Everton are interested in signing midfielder Kalvin Phillips on a season-long loan deal from Premier League champions Manchester City.
Phillips joined City from Leeds for £45m in 2022 but has struggled to make an impression and spent the second half of last season on-loan at West Ham.
The 28-year-old was part of the England team that reached 2020 European Championship final, but is now out of favour under manager Gareth Southgate and has failed to make the cut for this summer's tournament.
Everton are also in talks to re-sign winger Jack Harrison from Championship club Leeds on another loan deal.
Harrison, 27, played 35 games and scored four goals for the Toffees last season.
Earlier this month, Everton director of football Kevin Thelwell said players "will be sold" this summer because of the club's financial situation and new additions to the squad will be secured by "utilisation of the loan market".

Everton 'assessing options' as 777 miss takeover deadline
Everton say they will "assess all options for future ownership" after the deadline for the sale of the club to 777 Partners expired.
The US-based consortium agreed to buy majority owner Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake in the club in September 2023.
777 Partners were given until 05:00 BST on Saturday to complete their share purchase agreement of the Toffees but the deadline passed without resolution.
Everton say they will "continue to operate as usual" as they look at their ownership options.
The Miami-based investment firm had been expected to complete their takeover in 2023 but the deal was met with persistent delays as they failed to meet the Premier League's required conditions.
After being granted an extension in February, the Premier League wrote to the club and Moshiri in May to say 777 Partners must provide proof of funds and turn their £200m loan to Everton into equity.
Moshiri, who took a controlling stake of the club in 2016, has faced a backlash from supporters in recent years after presiding over a period of poor performances on and off the pitch.
Everton posted losses of just under £400m for the four years between 2019 and 2023, which resulted in the club being docked a total of eight points for two seperate breaches of the Premier league's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
In May, Moshiri claimed he had received "unsolicited" approaches from other parties interested in the club.
The Toffees are now expected to assess interest from other parties, before making a decision on how to progress.

Ex-Everton star Campbell 'very unwell' in hospital
Everton have sent a "get well soon" message to their former striker Kevin Campbell who is "very unwell" in hospital.
The Merseyside club said the 54-year-old, who began his career at Arsenal, became ill last week.
"Not just a great footballer but an incredible person, Kevin is, and always has been, a fighter and we wish him and his family well at this challenging time. Sending all our love," Everton said in a statement posted on X., external
Campbell came through Arsenal's youth ranks, making his debut in 1988, and after loan stints at Leyton Orient and Leicester City, was a member of Arsenal's league title-winning squad in 1990–91.
He helped the Gunners win the FA Cup and League Cup double in 1993, and the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1994.
After spells with Nottingham Forest and Turkish side Trabzonspor, Campbell joined Everton on loan in March 1999, scoring nine goals in their final eight Premier League games to help the Toffees avoid relegation.
Campbell then made a permanent move to Everton that summer and spent more than five seasons with the Toffees.
He ended his career with spells at West Bromwich Albion and Cardiff City, scoring a career total of 148 goals from 542 appearances, and has since worked as a media pundit.

Roma owner Friedkin interested in Everton takeover
Roma owner Dan Friedkin has emerged as one of a number of parties interested in a takeover of Premier League club Everton.American businessman Friedkin, who has a reported net worth of £4.8bn, is aiming for an exclusivity agreement to purchase current owner Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake in the club.
BBC Sport understands MSP Sports Capital and local businessmen Andy Bell and George Downing, who have lent the Toffees £158m, are also aiming for a takeover.
Michael Dell, chief executive of Dell Technologies, and Kenneth King of investment firm A Cap are also in the mix.
Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor expressed an interest in buying Everton last month and is looking to sell his 45% stake in the Eagles.
Moshiri had agreed to sell the Blues to Miami-based investment firm 777 Partners in September but after a prolonged process, the sales and purchase agreement ended on 31 May.

A consortium of international investors, which involves a member of the Saudi royal family, has made a £400m offer to buy Premier League club Everton
Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake to 777 Partners in September, but the investment firm could not complete the deal, opening the way for others to make a takeover bid.
Local businessmen Andy Bell and George Downing, as well as MSP Sports Capital - who have lent the Toffees around £158m - are also in the running for a period of exclusivity after lodging bids.
London-based businessman and lawyer Vatche Manoukian is leading a bid alongside an unnamed Saudi royal and families with a high-net worth from the United States.
Manoukian and his consortium have proposed an all-equity offer which would not take on additional debt and would aim to create a sustainable, long-term strategy.
They see Everton as a "sleeping giant" of English football with potential to secure a place "at the top of world football again" through the new stadium being built on Bramley-Moore Dock.
Manoukian, 45, is a partner at tech investment firm IMS Digital Ventures and is backed by Australia's Myer family.
Roma owner Dan Friedkin, Michael Dell of Dell Technologies and Kenneth King of investment firm A-Cap are understood to be interested too.
Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which lists the country's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as chair, completed a £305m takeover of Newcastle in October 2021.

Everton want £80m for Branthwaite from Man Utd
Everton will look for a fee of at least £80m from Manchester United for young defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
It is understood United have already agreed personal terms with the player's representatives.
They intend to speak to Everton about Branthwaite once the transfer window opens on Friday.
The response is likely to be frosty.
BBC Sport has been told Everton do not want to sell the 21-year-old, who many believe was unlucky to miss out on selection for England's European Championship squad.
The club believe it is just a matter of time before Branthwaite becomes an England regular and rate him in the same bracket as Harry Maguire and Josko Gvardiol.

Branthwaite has caught the eye with a series of impressive performances as a left-sided central defender for Everton, helping the Merseyside club to avoid relegation last season even though they suffered two points deductions.
It is not known whether they need to sell players before 30 June in order to comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability regulations.
United are targeting central defence as an area they want to strengthen.

Everton will look for a fee of at least £80m from Manchester United for young defender Jarrad Branthwaite.
It is understood United have already agreed personal terms with the player's representatives.
They intend to speak to Everton about Branthwaite once the transfer window opens on Friday.
The response is likely to be frosty.
BBC Sport has been told Everton do not want to sell the 21-year-old, who many believe was unlucky to miss out on selection for England's European Championship squad.
The club believe it is just a matter of time before Branthwaite becomes an England regular and rate him in the same bracket as Harry Maguire and Josko Gvardiol.
Maguire cost United £80m when he joined from Leicester in 2019. Gvardiol cost Manchester City €90m – at the time equating to £77m – when he moved from RB Leipzig last summer.

Friedkin Group agrees deal for Everton takeover
The Friedkin Group has agreed a deal in principle to complete a takeover of Everton, BBC Sport understands.
Chairman Dan Friedkin, who also owns Roma, is now strong favourite to purchase the Toffees after jumping ahead of four other bidders.
A decision over whether Friedkin wants to exercise the option of buying current owner Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake could come by the weekend.
American businessman Friedkin, who has a reported net worth of £4.8bn, wants Serie A side Roma and Premier League club Everton to sit at the top of a multi-club model.
Moshiri is now expected to grant the group a period of exclusivity.
Friedkin has moved in front of four rival bidders, including UK-based investment firm Vici Private Finance, MSP Sports Capital, local businessmen Andy Bell and George Downing and a consortium involving a Saudi royal.
Everton finished 15th last season after being docked eight points in total for breaching Premier League financial rules.
They must comply with the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules by the end of this month.
They are also scheduled to make a payment to US-based firm MSP, who are one of Friedkin's rival bidders having loaned the club around £158m.
Everton have confirmed their move to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the start of the 2025-26 season.
The Friedkin Group took control of Serie A side Roma in 2020 and oversaw the appointment of manager Jose Mourinho the following year.

'We have to believe the future is bright for Everton'
When Seamus Coleman returns to Sligo Rovers' Showgrounds stadium on Friday, the Everton full-back will have come full circle.
Having left for England in 2009 as a timid 20-year-old, Coleman heads back home 15 years later after growing into a leader of men.
Sean Dyche's side play their first pre-season friendly against the League of Ireland club following a five-day training camp just outside of Dublin.
"It is very special," says Coleman. "When I left Sligo Rovers to go to Everton, I was a young, shy, reserved player, way out of my depth.
"I am going back as club captain, someone who has played over 400 games for the club.
"I am not one to stop and look at what I have done because if you do that you lose the drive and hunger, but it has given me a bit of time to reflect on a crazy journey.
"I just worked hard for the football club and gave it my all. It's not like I've been the most talented player to put an Everton jersey on.
"I respected my managers, respected the Everton badge and in return I think Evertonians respect that."
'A club full of hardworking, honest people'
Coleman has become an Everton mainstay, amassing 422 appearances in all competitions and has the honour of being the club's longest-serving Premier League player, featuring 364 times in the top flight.
He cost the Toffees £60,000 - a fee that works out at £142 a game.
Despite the churn of players and managers during his time at the club, serving 11 different bosses, Coleman remains – at the age of 35 – the first-choice pick at right-back when fit.
The team has battled against relegation in recent seasons, a period which Coleman describes as being "tough for everyone".
"It is a special club full of hardworking and honest people like the fans," he says. "There are times when it is tough and they tell you the home truths but don't we all need that sometimes?
“I think I have been very fortunate that I didn't leave the city and I am very grateful that I didn't.
"It wasn't until we had the last two or three years that I did fully realise and understand how massive this football club is to the people.
"I know it sounds extreme but the people I have seen and talked to, they live for Everton. That is what gets them out of bed on a morning."
European nights 'taken for granted'
Coleman signed a one-year contract extension last month and said there has never been a time when he wanted to leave the club. After breaking his leg in 2017, the offer of a new five-year deal remained on the table without any changes.
This will be Everton’s final season at their Goodison Park home before moving to Bramley-Moore Dock for the start of the 2025-26 campaign.
Coleman says: "This club is massive and it's just waiting for things to click into place. It has to be right off the pitch too as well as on it, but the gaffer has been steady, solid and calm.
"I'm getting a bit older but I want to feel that I’ve played a part in weathering the storm and Everton kicking on to the new stadium and being a giant of the club again."
New owners are also on the horizon, with the Friedkin Group agreeing to buy the club from Farhad Moshiri and Coleman is hoping it can kick-start a period of success.
"I was lucky enough to play in some European nights under Roberto [Martinez]," he says. "We went to Kiev and we lost a game we probably should not have lost.
"But you don't realise how lucky you have it until it is gone and you are watching the West Hams in Europe and thinking: 'Oh, that was us. Were we taking that for granted?' Yeah, we probably did.
"So we need to make sure that when we get these times back - and I fully believe we will - and if we get things run properly then the football club is too big not to be successful again.
"We have all had a tough time being Evertonians, but we have got to believe that the future's bright. We have to."

Friedkin Group completes Everton takeover
The Friedkin Group has completed its majority takeover of Everton, ending the turbulent tenure of Farhad Moshiri.
The deal is believed to be worth in excess of £400m and the Toffees become the 10th club in the Premier League under majority American ownership.
The group reached an agreement with Moshiri on 23 September and were awaiting regulatory approval, with the Premier League having the final say on the deal, and this has now been granted.
The Texas-based group is led by chairman Dan Friedkin and also owns Italian Serie A club Roma. Friedkin has a net worth of £6.16bn, according to Forbes., external
Friedkin has been proposed as the chairman of Everton's board, with Marc Watts serving as executive chairman. Watts will be responsible for the management of the club.
Friedkin said in an open letter: "I take immense pride in welcoming one of England's most historic football clubs to our global family, the Friedkin Group. Everton represents a proud legacy, and we are honoured to become custodians of this great institution.
"Whilst we are new to the club, we fully understand the vital role Everton plays in local culture, history, and the lives of Evertonians here and around the world.
"We are deeply committed to honouring this legacy while contributing positively to the community, economy, and people of this remarkable city."
British-Iranian businessman Moshiri first bought a 49.9% stake in Everton in 2016, before increasing his holding to 94.1% in 2022.
Everton, who have not played outside the top flight since 1953–54, have been in the bottom half of the Premier League for the past three seasons - finishing 16th, 17th and 15th - and are at the wrong end again in 16th.
Sean Dyche's team play second-placed Chelsea at Goodison Park on Sunday (14:00 GMT) and representatives of the Friedkin Group are expected to be at the game.
What are the details of the deal?
Everton have been acquired by Roundhouse Capital Holdings, an entity within the Friedkin Group, that has bought Moshiri's 94% stake in the club held through Blue Heaven Holdings. Through further debt-to-equity conversions, Roundhouse will increase its holding in the club to 99.5%.
The Friedkin Group has outlined a vision for a "sustainable and successful" future which includes strengthening the men's first team, cultivating home-grown players through the academy, a distinct on-pitch and commercial strategy for the women's team, as well as maximising the potential of the new stadium.
Everton are due to move from their Goodison Park home to a new 52,888-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock from the beginning of next season.
The Friedkin Group's chief financial officer Ana Dunkel will join the board, while Colin Chong will remain as interim chief executive until a permanent appointment is made.
Incoming executive chairman Watts said: "Today marks a momentous and proud occasion for the Friedkin Group as we become custodians of this iconic football club. We are committed to leading Everton into an exciting new era both on and off the pitch.
"Providing immediate financial stability to the club has been a key priority, and we are delighted to have achieved this.
"While restoring Everton to its rightful place in the Premier League table will take time, today is the first step in that journey."
Watts said the immediate priority is to stabilise Everton and improve performances on the pitch, adding that most of the club's debt has been turned into equity, repaid or refinanced on more favourable terms.

New Everton owners 'fully supportive' – Dyche
Everton 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."
'Winning games stands you in good stead'
Financial issues and uncertainty around the takeover have left Everton battling at the wrong end of the Premier League table in recent years and it is a similar story this campaign.
The club sit in 16th place and are just three points above the relegation zone.
Dyche's contract expires at the end of the season and, asked about his future, he said: "Winning games always stands you in good stead. Other than that he [Watts] made it quite clear, face-to-face, they have nothing but support for me, the staff and the team. But you have to win games, that's a natural process.
"From the chat today it is more like a business approach, it will be hands-off and [a philosophy of] you guys are there for a reason."
Watts also spoke about the importance of the women's team and Roma's women's success under the Friedkin Group since taking over the Serie A side in 2020, twice winning both the league title and Coppa Italia.
Despite the club's wealthy new owners coming, Dyche suggested that spending in the January transfer window on the men's team will be done modestly rather than lavishly.
Last season, Everton were deducted a total of eight points for breaching the league's financial rules and Dyche has had to deal with strict spending constraints since taking over in January 2023.
Since the 2021-22 campaign, Everton are the only Premier League side with a positive net spend, while at the other end of the scale, Sunday's opponents Chelsea have the biggest negative net spend.
Speaking at his news conference before the match, Dyche said: "Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) is not about money or no money, it is about the rules.
"Only so much can be done with immediacy, which they know. There are ongoing challenges to correct things moving forward for the bigger future. January will be dominated by PSR from the years gone by."
Everton take ownership of new stadium
Meanwhile, Everton have formally taken control of their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
The handover comes three-and-a-half years after the start of the project, with the build phase completing on time.
A series of three test events will take place in 2025 before the club stages its first competitive fixture at the stadium at the start of the 2025-26 season.
"It is an illustrious moment in the history of Everton and marks a new era for the club on many levels," said Toffees executive chairman Marc Watts.
The Friedkin Group, which completed its takeover of Everton this week, has financially supported the stadium development and the club through an initial loan investment in the summer and with funding during the change of ownership process.
