Finance Expert moots long-term concern amid Everton takeover development
Stefan Borson believes that Roma owner Dan Friedkin buying Everton could cause a long-term issue with the Italian club.
The finance expert reacted to news reported by the Athletic on 14 June that the American is expected to make a decision on whether or not he wants to purchase the club from Farhad Moshiri.
The Friedkin Group, of which Dan is the CEO, have emerged as the leading contenders to complete the takeover.
Borson wrote on Twitter: “Great buyer for Everton – surprised re the Roma situation. Not sure how they deal with that issue long term but not something to concern Moshiri.”
Everton at risk of being a second-tier team in the Roma hierarchy
As the owner of both clubs, Friedkin could face challenges in allocating resources, making strategic decisions, and ensuring that both teams receive the necessary support and attention.
If Friedkin acquires the Toffees, there is a risk that the club could become a second-tier team in the Roma hierarchy.
This could result in Everton receiving less investment, fewer resources and less attention compared to Roma.
Such a scenario could hinder the club’s ability to compete at the highest level and achieve their ambitions.
To mitigate this risk, Friedkin would need to implement a clear and transparent management structure that ensures both clubs are treated fairly and given equal opportunities to succeed.
This may involve establishing separate management teams, maintaining distinct identities for each club and ensuring that both teams receive the necessary resources to compete effectively.
