Everton majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has written a letter to fans insisting the club is not for sale.

A consortium led by former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon and bankrolled by United States real estate tycoon Maciek Kaminski and billionaire mining and investment magnate John Thornton was in exclusive negotiations to purchase the Toffees.
