Everton are readying themselves for a big summer, which is expected to be filled with some considerable changes.
Numerous players could be heading for the exit at Goodison Park over the coming weeks, as their deals come to an end.
David Moyes wants Idrissa Gana Gueye to be given a new contract to keep him around for the stadium move.
But it is not just on the pitch where changes could be made at Everton over the coming weeks and months.
Everton are parting ways with Kevin Thelwell, who is also coming to the end of his deal.
With the director of football set to remain in his role until the end of the season, the Friedkins have already found their next hire.
Angus Kinnear has been appointed as Everton’s new CEO, and Moyes has now shared the conversation held between the pair.

MORE EVERTON STORIES
With such a considerable player turnover set to unfold over the coming weeks, there is some serious work needing to be put in behind the scenes.
Speaking on Friday afternoon from Finch Farm, Moyes has admitted he has already spoken to Kinnear ahead of the summer.
“There’s going to be a change, and all those bits are still being pieced together at the minute,” said Moyes.
“I’ve had one short conversation with Angus, that was all because he’s got his job to do at Leeds. And I don’t want to disrupt him whilst he’s working there.
“But we’re getting things together, we’re starting to plan, but obviously again the league position and league you’re in is all important.”
There are a number of Leeds players who Kinnear could look to bring to Everton, but there will be players who Moyes already has an eye on.
Regardless, it is set to be a busy summer for all involved at Everton.
Moyes was disappointed to see Kevin Thelwell depart Everton
A number of Everton players have thanked Thelwell following the news of his departure at the end of the season.
It may go under the radar as to how good of a job Thelwell has been able to do on Merseyside.
Everton have been limited by PSR as to how much they have been able to spend over recent years in the transfer window.
However, it has to be said that Thelwell has worked well with the resources available to help keep Everton afloat in the Premier League.
“I do know, unfortunately, Kevin will be leaving his job. He’s done a great job here over many, many years,” said Moyes.
“And I have to say, he’s gone through some difficult periods here at the club in the last few years and made sure they can stay as a Premier League club.
“So, lots of admiration for the work he’s done.”
