Everton sale could be part of Friedkin Group's broader strategy after recent developments
Everton could potentially be facing uncertainty around their future under The Friedkin Group.
The Toffees have found relative stability since Farhad Moshiri's departure, but the American owners are starting to lose faith among supporters.
Among fans' major complaints about the ownership has been the lack of investment in recent transfer windows.
David Moyes was left with a depleted squad after deadline day, with many among the Hill Dickinson Stadium faithful angry with TFG.
The Blues' recruitment strategy clearly hasn't been bold enough and they ranked 15th in overall net spend in the Premier League this summer.
Given how Dan Friedkin and Co. are operating at the Merseyside outfit, they may have a short-term agenda in L3.
Why Everton sale could be on cards under Friedkin Group
There's no doubt TFG have financially stabilised Everton after years of turmoil under Moshiri.
The Toffees are undoubtedly in a much better place than they were a few years ago.
Moving to Hill Dickinson Stadium will also surely have a long-term positive effect on the Blues' finances.
The Merseyside outfit also have some promising assets in their team, like Jarrad Branthwaite, James Garner and Harrison Armstrong.
Coupled with reluctant spending during transfer windows, TFG may be planning to make a profit on their initial investment of around £500million in the club.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo on 8 October, football finance expert Kieran Maguire said, "Perhaps running the club as a solid enterprise in the Premier League, getting a couple of years of improved revenues and using that for the basis of a sale could form part of a broader strategy.
"If that's the case, then does it mean that the transfer budget is dictated to by non-football reasons rather than footballing ones in terms of not creating a significant transfer payables budget and transfer payables sum which might have to be dealt with on exit."
David Moyes theory possible after Friedkin Group's actions
Moyes has done a brilliant job getting Everton to where they are right now without significant resources.
Despite the Scottish manager's relative success, some among the fanbase feel his style of play is outdated.
TFG could potentially have the same opinion and are now waiting for the 63-year-old head coach's contract to expire.
The Friedkins' lack of spending in the transfer windows could suggest that they don't want to build a team around Moyes' plans and are instead waiting for next summer to back whoever succeeds him.
There haven't been any concrete reports or noise about the Scottish manager extending his stay in L3, which may be a big factor in how TFG acted during the last transfer window.
