Everton to save millions after new Bramley-Moore Dock finance update
Everton will save a minimum of £9million-a-year as The Friedkin Group refinance (TFG) Bramley-Moore Dock payments through JP Morgan, according to The Esk.
The Toffees’ forensic analyst has revealed that the lending facility arranged by JPMorgan will be at least three per cent cheaper than something like the Rights and Media facility.

The Esk wrote on his personal X account (8 January): “The lending facility regarding the stadium arranged by JP Morgan on behalf of the Friedkins will be priced at least 3 per cent per annum cheaper than, for example, the Rights and Media facility.
“It’s also much longer term and will reduce interest costs by a minimum of £9m a year compared to R&MF.”
The Friedkin Group bringing stability off-the-pitch to Everton
TFG completed their takeover of the Merseyside outfit from Farhad Moshiri in the middle of December 2024.
Since then, Companies House documents have revealed that most of the charges against the Toffees have been resolved already.
Moshiri constantly mismanaged the Blues and left them in a lurch before eventually making his exit.
Everton have struggled to compete on all fronts in recent years, sitting just one point above the relegation zone in the Premier League as things stand.
Dan Friedkin’s arrival is seen as the start of a new era at the Merseyside outfit by the Goodison faithful.
Bramley-Moore Dock will also open its doors to the supporters soon as the Toffees are set to play their games near the banks of the Mersey from the start of the 2024/25 season.
With the seeming financial stability the Blues will find themselves in after the actions of TFG, there is hope for a brighter future.
One of the most significant issues at the Merseysiders has been the shoddy recruitment under Moshiri, which the new American owners can’t repeat.
What the future holds for the Toffees under the Friedkins remains to be seen, but early signs are positive.
