“I’m told…” – Alan Myers addresses whether court ‘issue’ will affect Everton takeover.
Alan Myers asserts that the A-Cap court issue won’t impact The Friedkin Group’s Everton takeover plans.
The Sky Sports news editor has reported that the expectation remains for Everton’s takeover to be completed by mid-December.
While the Premier League has yet to officially approve the deal, no significant obstacles appear to stand in the way of the Texas-based Friedkin Group.
Journalist Ben Myers stated via X: “I’m told the expectation remains mid-December, and ACap court issue won’t affect that, PL process ongoing.”
Concerns among Everton fans about the takeover are minimal.
Although Leadenhall Capital initiated legal action against 777 Partners—indirectly impacting A-Cap due to financial connections—this has not significantly affected The Friedkin Group’s progress.
The group is on track to finalize the acquisition, with the Premier League’s approval process advancing smoothly and seemingly unaffected by unrelated legal disputes.
The Friedkin Group’s approach has been notably different from the turbulent saga involving 777 Partners, whose activities were frequently leaked to the media, possibly to create a false sense of progress for fans.
In contrast, The Friedkin Group has structured their deal to avoid entanglement with the A-Cap issue, focusing solely on meeting regulatory and Premier League requirements.
Fortunately for Everton, this strategic separation has allowed the Friedkin Group to proceed without distractions, ensuring the process moves forward efficiently.
Their clear and professional approach reflects a genuine intent to see the takeover completed without unnecessary complications, providing stability and reassurance for the club and its supporters.
