Everton boss David Moyes and Dan Friedkin
Everton boss David Moyes and Dan Friedkin
Moyes returned to Everton for a second spell in charge back in January 2025 after Sean Dyche departed.
The Scot has overseen steady, if unspectalur, progression during his second stint with the Blues.
However, his contract is due to expire in the summer of 2027 and it is unknown whether he will stay beyond that.
Everton's uncertainty off the pitch with the Friedkin Group is only adding to the state of flux around Moyes and the club in general.
Alex Crook weighed into Moyes' situation live on talkSPORT on Friday.
What does Alex Crook find strange about David Moyes' contract situation?
TFG's admission that they are looking to sell the club less than two years after buying Everton has thrown up several questions.
And one those surrounds Moyes' future, with potential owners maybe fancying bringing in their own manager.
Moyes has spoken of his desire to extend his stay at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, though said last month talks had stalled amid the ownership uncertainty.
With only around eight months remaining on his deal, it would be beneficial for all parties to have some sort of clarity.
And Crook thinks the fact talks have stalled is "strange", after Sam Matterface had described him as "brilliant" live on talkSPORT.
Adding his opinion, Crook said: "He's (Moyes) in the last year of his contract, and at the moment talks seem to have been put on hold a little bit which is strange."
David Moyes contract at Everton needs a resolution
There are those among the fanbase who might argue that Everton need a change in the dugout.
But there are those who acknowledge that Moyes has done a good job firefighting, and is the sort of steadying figure the Toffees need in times of turmoil.
What does no one any in favours - the club, the fans, or Moyes - is this state of flux, which admittedly stretches beyond Moyes' contract.
Ultimately, though, there has to be a resolution one way or the other because his zone of uncertainty just does not help.
