Interesting story I've lifted from another forum:
The Americans looking to take over Everton have been described by someone who worked with them at San Diego Padres as people who will not meddle in the day to day running of the club.
The Daily Star (yes, we know) quotes a "source" who worked under John Jay Moores at San Diego as saying that he will likely do nothing more than make sure the right people are in place to run the club.
Moores stayed loyal to his team managers at San Diego, with just two men taking charge of the team during Moores' time as owner of the club.
Moores' partner in the potential takeover at Everton was Charles Noell, who also worked on the board of San Diego Padres under Moores. Could he be the un-named source? And could this be the beginning of the Americans putting out details of their plans should they complete the takeover deal?
The "source" said, "He finds the best people and let's them do their work. He is a hands-off owner, not a meddler.
"He's not a guy who wants to look over people's shoulders. I'd be shocked if he did anything other than make sure he has the best people for the job. "
I wonder how long the people currently running the club's day-to-day operations will get to prove they're the 'best for the job'?

I hope that they meddle with our commercial activities. We are well behind the top teams in this side of the business.
