Why Everton have another £35m reason for Friedkins to feel confident about sale

The Friedkin Group can utilise the Hill Dickinson Stadium to help push their sale of Everton over the line.

The US consortium revealed when purchasing the Toffees that the new arena played a key role.

If it wasn't for the move away from Goodison Park, they may have steered clear of the Merseyside club.

That has made it all the more surprising that they would look to sell up less than two years into their tenure.

They look set to flip the Blues for a quick profit as they search for the right people to lead the L3 outfit forward.

With the latest news at Hill Dickinson Stadium, it feels as if buyers won't be hard to come buy.

Hill Dickinson Stadium acts as growing incentive for prospective Everton buyer

Anyone looking at the Merseysiders will be considering the pros and cons of the purchase.

It is unclear exactly how much TFG want for the Toffees, but it will be a sizable amount more than the £400million they paid in 2024.

They are in no rush to hand Everton over to just anyone, but the ever-growing revenue of Hill Dickinson Stadium will likely be reason for increased interest.

That comes after Alan Myers reported via X that the Bramley Moore Dock arena is already bringing in £35m more than Goodison Park was.

That is obviously a sizable boost, but could only grow with potential expansion plans in L3.

The Athletic have reported that talks are ongoing for Nelson Dock, the land next to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

That could eventually provide well over £35m in additional revenue, which will serve as an extra card in the Friedkins' deck.

How Friedkins from Nelson Dock expansion

The land next to the ground won't necessarily be utilised to expand the capacity of Hill Dickinson Stadium any time soon.

It will actually be used to create further space for fans on matchday and beyond.

Should the Blues purchase the land at the end of their lease, they will have space for a club shop, bars, food vendors and even leisure spaces.

Those are the things in modern football that are having a telling say on finances.

That would make for the perfect selling point for the Friedkins to use as a bargaining chip with any prospective buyer.

It would prove just how far finances can be pushed at Everton and why they could be a wise investment.

It begs the question why TFG don't want to stick around and take advantage of that themselves, but they have made their feelings clear.
