An investigation is continuing into how confidential emails between officials at Everton FC came to be published on a fanzine web site.
The correspondence consisted of private correspondence in which Ian Ross, Director of Communications at Goodison, expressed unguarded comments in relation to Everton Chief Executive Robert Elstone.
A series of emails were carried on the Toffeeweb site but were later taken down. However the content of the claims also circulated on a number of other sites and were referenced on Facebook and Twitter.
Suggestions quickly emerged that Mr Ross was about to be moved to a new role at Goodison Park - a move that was said to be pre-planned and unrelated to the email furore - however that suggestion has now been described as "not confirmed" but the Club.
The "Goodisongate" leaks could not come at a more sensitive time for Everton when frustrated "Blue Union" fans have organised a series of protest demos calling for changes at the top.
A club spokesman said: "Everton FC has launched an investigation, led by members of the senior executive who are liaising with our legal team. As soon as we have concluded that investigation we will advise on the position."
Writing in his blog on the EFC official web site Robert Elstone described he publication of the private emails on e-zine websites as the "wholly unacceptable actions of certain individuals".
Mr Elstone said: "Some of you may have seen the various media reports/internet chatter circulating regarding an alleged email leak of private correspondence.
"Not for the first time in the recent past, certain individuals claiming to be Evertonians have made attempts to undermine the people of Everton Football Club by actions almost every one of us would find wholly unacceptable.
"Our experienced senior executive team is dealing with the matter assisted by the Club's legal representatives and we will update accordingly and take appropriate action.
"It is disappointing to read what has been written on certain internet forums but I remained buoyed by the fact that this Club has the best supporters in football; supporters who I know recognise what's right and what's wrong.
"The challenges faced by us and most of our rivals are there for all to see and we don't shy away from them. What's true is we are stronger, and we will make the biggest difference, when we are together."
Elstone and Blues' owner Bill Kenwright have been blamed by fans over recent months for inaction over finding outside investors or a buyer for the club.
A second protest march by supporters' group Blue Union took place before Saturday's home match against Wolves.
