Friedkin Group Everton takeover U-turn on the cards despite official announcement
Sky Sports news editor Alan Myers has refused to rule out Dan Friedkin returning to the table to complete the takeover of Everton.
When asked if the Roma owner and president is no longer in the running to be the owner, Myers said that anything can happen in business.
This comes after the Toffees made an official announcement on 19 July that the exclusivity granted to the Friedkin Group by Farhad Moshiri has ended.
Myers wrote on X: “Never say never in football and business.”
Dan Friedkin would undoubtedly be a suitable owner of Everton
Given his experience in football ownership and his successful business background, Friedkin could bring stability and strategic vision to a club that has faced financial and ownership uncertainties in recent years.
Friedkin’s tenure at AS Roma has seen the club achieve success on the field, including winning the Europa Conference League in 2022.
This demonstrates his ability to build a competitive team and his business acumen could also be beneficial for the Toffees, potentially helping to secure lucrative sponsorship deals and improve the club’s commercial activities.
Moreover, Friedkin’s commitment to community and social responsibility aligns well with what the Merseyside outfit stand for.
This shared ethos could strengthen the bond between the club and their fanbase.
His potential takeover could bring stability, strategic vision, and financial strength to the club, helping it to navigate its current challenges and return to a position of competitiveness.
Whether or not, Friedkin returns to the table remains to be seen, but it’s not entirely dead in the water, as things stand.
