The Friedkin Group is poised to finalize its acquisition of Everton Football Club next week. This move marks the culmination of a protracted process that has seen the Texas-based billionaires work diligently to secure ownership of the historic Merseyside club.
Sky Sports News reported that The Friedkin Group has already secured approval from the Premier League, paving the way for the takeover to proceed. Alan Myers, a reporter for Sky Sports News, noted, "The sun could well be just days away from rising once again around the Merseyside club as The Friedkin Group closes in on a completion of the process of acquiring Farhad Moshiri's 94.1 percent stake in the club."
The journey to this point has been fraught with challenges and emotional highs and lows for Everton's fanbase. Since May 2023, when MSP agreed to a period of exclusivity with Moshiri, supporters have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, ranging from optimism to desperation.
The Friedkin Group's approach to the takeover has been characterized by a quiet and professional demeanor, avoiding grand promises or public declarations. As the takeover nears completion, expectations are high for a balanced strategy that combines a long-term vision with immediate focus on the current season's challenges.
"The message will be one of them looking to strike a balance between a long-term vision and an exciting new plan," Myers added. "What TFG doesn't need is a relegation battle. It goes without saying that losing their Premier League status would put those future plans back somewhat."
