Alan Myers reveals updates from the US amid potential Everton takeover delay concerns.
Everton takeover saga drags on for over a year as fans await a resolution.
Sean Dyche’s Everton side continues to struggle in the Premier League, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding the club as they await new ownership.
The Friedkin Group is reportedly close to completing a takeover of Everton, but the deal has yet to be finalized.
Talks with current owner Farhad Moshiri have been ongoing for months, with the Friedkins granted exclusivity.
As the year draws to a close and the January transfer window approaches, Everton fans are eager to see the new ownership confirmed in the coming weeks.
Despite legal complications involving A-Cap and Leadenhall over the £200 million investment received from 777 Partners last year, the Friedkin Group’s takeover remains on track.
According to Sky Sports reporter Alan Myers, the legal issues in the U.S. will not delay the acquisition process.
Myers reassured fans, stating, “The issue in the US would have no bearing on the takeover being completed in the timescale previously, and currently, suggested.”
This news is a significant boost for Everton supporters, with reports suggesting the Friedkins are already considering changes, including the potential appointment of David Moyes as manager to replace Dyche.
With approvals from both the FA and FCA secured, it seems only a matter of time before the Friedkin Group assumes control of the club.
Clarity on the takeover is crucial for Everton before the January transfer window opens.
The new ownership would provide an opportunity to strengthen the squad and potentially turn the season around.
However, with the deal still pending, time is of the essence.
The Friedkins’ proactive planning for January signings signals optimism for Everton’s future.
Yet, with the team hovering just above the relegation zone, fans are pinning their hopes on a transformative January window to steer the club toward safety.
The resolution of ownership uncertainty is vital as Everton looks to secure stability both on and off the pitch.
