Harris hopeful over Everton sale
Keith Harris, president of investment bank Seymour Pierce, has revealed he is hoping to find a buyer for Everton.
Chairman Bill Kenwright said he is willing to sell and asked Harris to help conduct the research.
Harris said he was "calm, confident" about the proposed sale of Newcastle and said the BBC Radio 5 Live he was also optimistic about Everton.
He said: "Bill is passionately is clear that it will be someone who really cares about Everton in the future."
Harris added: "Bill was very simple. First and foremost, it is the most massive Everton fan. "
Kenwright admitted at a recent Extraordinary General Meeting convened by the fans who were unhappy with Everton the proposed move to Kirkby because the club needed to find a new billionaire owner.
Harris said: "It will not be hot money or people who want to do all sorts of strange things with it. He is someone who will carry on the tradition.
"A major topic of discussion was the ground and you heard the bill to come to this point. It is very difficult for clubs competence at the highest level if they can not get 55,000 or 60,000 people coming to watch. "
