Alan Myers Reveals Expected Date for Friedkin Group’s Everton Takeover Completion

The new stadium at Bramley Docks is rapidly taking shape, and earlier this week, Everton fans were treated to the sight of it lighting up the Merseyside skyline.

Excitement is building around the club’s future, as the state-of-the-art ground could host England’s World Cup qualifier against Andorra in September 2025.

In addition, Everton is set for a major shakeup off the pitch with the impending takeover by the Friedkin Group, marking the end of Farhad Moshiri’s challenging eight-and-a-half-year tenure.

The takeover is expected to inject much-needed funds into the club, which could reshape future transfer windows and potentially lead to managerial changes.

Although fans have called for Sean Dyche’s dismissal in recent weeks, those demands have quieted following two strong results: a 4-0 victory over Wolves and a hard-earned draw against Arsenal.

Friedkin Group Takeover Expected by December 18

Sky Sports journalist Alan Myers, a trusted voice on Merseyside, has provided a timeline for the takeover.

Responding to a fan on X (formerly Twitter), Myers pinpointed Wednesday, December 18, as the likely date for the Friedkin Group to finalize their purchase.

If the timeline holds, Everton could welcome their new owners just in time for their Premier League clash against Chelsea next weekend.

The Friedkin Group’s arrival signals the start of a new era, with significant changes expected both on and off the pitch.

New Sporting Director Targeted

One of the first moves under the new ownership could involve a shakeup in the club’s leadership.

Reports suggest that the Friedkin Group is already eyeing Dan Ashworth as a replacement for current sporting director Kevin Thelwell.

With the takeover imminent, these plans could accelerate in the coming days.

Sean Dyche’s Future Remains Uncertain

Initially, it seemed that Sean Dyche would be replaced as soon as the Friedkin Group took control.

However, his position has been bolstered slightly by recent positive results.

Despite this, Dyche’s job is far from secure, with a tough fixture schedule ahead.

Everton faces Chelsea, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth in the coming weeks, a run that could determine his fate.

Reports from Everton News suggest that Dyche is likely to be dismissed early in the new year, alongside Thelwell.

For now, he remains on thin ice, with the new ownership closely monitoring the team’s performances during the festive period.

As Everton transitions into this new chapter, fans and stakeholders alike are bracing for a busy and transformative period at Goodison Park. Change is on the horizon.
