Everton respond to controversial comments by potential new owner John Textor after he discussed Sean Dyche's future and likened taking over at Goodison Park to becoming president of the United States

Everton have distanced themselves from the controversial comments of potential new owner John Textor after the current Crystal Palace supremo publicly discussed the future of manager Sean Dyche.

Textor is in talks to buy Farhad Moshiri's 94.1 per cent majority stake in the Goodison Park club and went on record on Wednesday to say he is close to selling his shares in current club Palace to pursue a deal to take over Everton.

The 58-year-old discussed the future of Dyche – he said he would consult the boss to see if he could adapt to Textor's strategy – as well as the new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.
