The Friedkin Group are taking a cut-throat approach as they prepare for a big summer of change at Everton.

Everton are poised for a huge summer, with major changes expected across the board.

With 13 first-team players running out of their contracts, David Moyes is set to work closely with new CEO Angus Kinnear to strengthen his squad during the transfer window.

Meanwhile, the decision to move to the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium ahead of next season is also going according to plan.

With that, Everton have now confirmed that Goodison Park will become the new home of the women’s team.

The Merseyside-based club are expected to undergo further changes in the coming weeks.

Friedkin Group to appoint new Everton Women CEO after Alan McTavish exit

The major behind-the-scenes changes that The Friedkin Group have overseen in the last few months have also led to several senior figures leaving Everton.

Alan McTavish is among those who have departed, with the executive stepping down from his role as the CEO of Everton Women in March.

The former Rangers sales manager was a popular figure at Finch Form, but was relieved of his duties just three months after the Friedkins arrived.

This is a testament to the owners’ ruthless approach of ‘not taking any prisoners’, one source told The Athletic.

The news outlet reported via their website on Wednesday (13 May) that the Friedkins are expected to appoint a replacement for McTavish in the coming weeks, as they continue their pursuit of raising standards at all levels.

Friedkins to push women’s team

Friedkin has made it evident from day one that building the women’s team is high on his agenda, and the recent changes stand as testament to that promise.

TFG notably gathered the women’s team to explain their vision for the future during a visit to Finch Farm in January.

Meanwhile, new contracts for manager Sorensen and assistant manager Stephen Neligan are viewed as ‘anchoring points’ for the future.
