Everton takeover status shared amid new A-Cap legal saga
Alan Myers claims that the A-Cap court issue will not be affecting The Friedkin Group’s plans to complete the Everton takeover.
The Sky Sports news editor has been told that the expectation remains for things to be sealed by mid December.
The Premier League are yet to green light the takeover but there appears no obstacle in the way of the Texas-based group.
Via X, Myers wrote: “I’m told the expectation remains mid-December, and ACap court issue won’t affect that, PL process ongoing.”
Everton fans have little to worry about the Friedkin Group’s takeover
Leadenhall Capital had initiated legal action against 777 Partners, which indirectly affected A-Cap’s involvement due to their financial ties.
Despite this, the reason this isn’t presenting a significant problem for Everton as The Friedkin Group are set to proceed with the acquisition, expecting closure by mid-December, with the Premier League’s approval process ongoing but seemingly unhindered by this particular legal entanglement.
This separation between the legal matters involving A-Cap and the takeover proceedings suggests that The Friedkin Group have structured their deal in a way that allows them to move forward independently of these disputes, focusing on the regulatory and Premier League requirements instead.
This is in stark contrast to the 777 Partners saga as everything they did was leaked to the media, perhaps intentionally, to give fans a false sense of security.
Thankfully for the club, none of that is happening with The Friedkin Group and they’re well intentioned towards ensuring this goes ahead without any hassles.
