“‘It’s Big News’ – Journalist Says Premier League Puts End to Everton Takeover Saga”
Dan Bardell: Premier League's Approval of Friedkin Group Takeover Marks the End of Everton's Prolonged Ownership Saga.
The long-awaited takeover at Goodison Park appears to be finally nearing completion, with U.S. businessman Dan Friedkin receiving the go-ahead in what has been described as a “huge” moment for Everton Football Club [Sky Sports].
Friedkin is set to acquire a 94.1% stake from Farhad Moshiri, finalizing a deal initially agreed upon in September.
The move is seen as an opportunity for a fresh start for the Merseyside club, following a turbulent period in its history.
Sky Sports and talkSPORT journalist Bardell shared his insights exclusively with Goodison News, stating, “It’s been a long, drawn-out process.
Complications involving other clubs owned by the group made everything more complex and prolonged.
“Now that it’s happening, Everton fans can finally see where they stand.
That uncertainty over the past few years has been a major issue—you never knew what was coming next.
With this change in ownership, coupled with the new stadium, it’s a real chance to start fresh.
“It’s big news. Everton have been in limbo for so long. With the Premier League’s approval, it draws a line under all the uncertainty.
Fans can now relax, knowing a new owner is coming in, and look forward to a positive new era.”
The Premier League’s approval marks a significant milestone in Friedkin’s takeover, giving Evertonians a reason to feel optimistic.
After years of ups and downs—ranging from 777 Partners to John Textor—this latest development offers hope for stability.
Friedkin now appears set to lead Everton as the club moves into a new chapter.
For the Goodison faithful, this change could signal the end of a tumultuous period and the beginning of a brighter future under new leadership.
