Everton takeover twist revealed by Alan Myers as Friedkin Group claims emerge
Sky Sports news editor Alan Myers claims that there is nothing concrete surrounding the Friedkin Group wanting a stake in Everton.
Il Messaggero reported on Monday (12 August) as per LaRoma24, that Dan Friedkin’s group wanted a 30 per cent stake in the club despite their recent takeover attempt failing.
However, that is not understood to be the case with John Textor now in the running to be granted exclusivity by Farhad Moshiri. [Guardian]
Via X, Myers wrote: “Nothing in that apparently. As far as I know, they wanted a full takeover, in effect they have a stake in the club already.”
Everton need this takeover saga to end before the move to Bramley-Moore Dock
The Toffees urgently need the takeover saga to end before the move to Bramley-Moore Dock as the uncertainty surrounding the club’s ownership and financial stability can deter potential investors and sponsors, affecting the club’s ability to generate revenue and invest in the new stadium.
The ongoing takeover drama can distract the club’s management and players, affecting their performance on the pitch.
A stable ownership situation would allow the club to focus on developing a clear long-term strategy and building a competitive team.
The move to Bramley-Moore Dock is a significant project that requires substantial financial investment and careful planning.
A swift resolution to the takeover saga would provide clarity on the club’s financial situation and enable the new owners to make informed decisions about the new stadium project.
Hopefully, there will be clarity sooner rather than later and significant steps will be made towards the completion.
