Everton chairman Kenwright: Moyes here because he wants to stay

Everton chairman Bill Kenwright doesn't fear losing manager David Moyes.

And he insists he is determined to find a new buyer for the club.

Asked whether he feared losing Moyes to a wealthier rival, Kenwright said: "Not at all. Never. Why? What do I think is the biggest club in the world? Everton.

"Why wouldn't people want him? But he is our manager and I do believe he is our manager because he wants to be our manager and he gets what he can and what he wants out of this club.

"I think that is important to him. He is ambitious. I am hugely ambitious but I have got to be realistic and that is why I have to ask myself whether I can be the chairman for much longer.

"It is a huge club and I have to find the investment to take it forward. We love nights like the ones against Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham (all recently beaten at Goodison Park) but we live in a game dominated by money.

"I know this club is revered throughout football for the way we try to do it but it is a huge job and it gets more and more difficult. The one thing he (Moyes) does know is he gets every single brass farthing available and he does know no-one takes any money out of this club.

"But at the end of the day I have to find a new owner."
