“‘To My Knowledge’: Alan Myers Provides Update on Everton Takeover Amid Friedkin Group Concerns”
Everton's First Win of the Season Made Last Saturday a Triumphant Afternoon
In the lead-up to that pivotal moment, it was revealed that The Friedkin Group had once again reached an agreement with Farhad Moshiri to complete a takeover of Everton.
This would not only signal the departure of Moshiri, who had persistently struggled to bring success to the club, but his replacement by the preferred bidder.
John Textor had also emerged as a strong contender for ownership. However, since that revelation, discussions regarding the takeover have grown quiet.
The Friedkin Group, led by an American billionaire with significant financial resources and experience, remained the favored option.
Meanwhile, Alan Myers, a well-known sports journalist, has worked to keep Everton fans informed of any developments.
Myers recently provided an update on the Everton takeover via X, addressing concerns from supporters, who often find themselves left in the dark on business matters in modern football.
A fan expressed concerns about The Friedkin Group’s involvement with 777 Partners and A-Cap, which had sparked scrutiny, asking: “Is everything still going well with TFG, Al? Some are worried about this Leadenhall issue.”
In response, Myers reassured them, saying, “No, as far as I’m aware, all is on track.”
Despite not yet formally taking control of Everton, The Friedkin Group has already made an impact on the club.
Their willingness to lend hundreds of millions to Everton, even before a full acquisition, highlighted both their financial stability and commitment to helping the club through difficult times.
Having already demonstrated their business acumen at AS Roma, where they cleared debts and made the club more sustainable, there is hope that The Friedkin Group will bring similar success to Everton.
With a new stadium in development, there is optimism that Toyota, one of Dan Friedkin’s companies, could play a major role in future sponsorships.
Evertonians can expect new ownership that is financially capable and willing to spend, whether to alleviate debt or bring in high-profile signings.
