Everton Marks Friedkin Anniversary With Cautious January Plan

  • The chief executive highlighted a revamped recruitment model that blended analytics with talent identification, citing nine summer signings including Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury‑Hall.
  • David Moyes praised the Friedkin family’s professional approach, thanked them for stabilising the club, and stressed building “bit on bit” rather than spending heavily at once.
  • Everton sit ninth in the Premier League and, under Moyes, are targeting European qualification after last season’s survival.
  • Everton Women secured a minority investment from GED Investments, with David Beeston and Angus Kinnear joining the women’s board to support squad spending, fan experience at Goodison Park, and commercial growth.
