Overview
- The Friedkin Group announced on Friday that it is exploring outside investment in Everton and may sell a controlling stake if a buyer meets its stewardship condition.
- The owners retained investment bank Moelis & Company to run the advising process and said they will continue to support the club on and off the pitch while no timetable or financial terms are disclosed.
- TFG points to the stabilisation work completed since their December 2024 takeover, including refinancing debt and finishing the Hill Dickinson Stadium, as the reason it is now seeking the next chapter for the club.
- Supporter frustration from this summer’s transfer activity remains a live issue after Everton sold over £100m of players including Iliman Ndiaye and Beto, missed key incoming deals such as Folarin Balogun, and entered the season with a thin first‑team squad.
- Any major sale would require Premier League owners’ and directors’ approvals and could stretch over months, a process that may affect January recruitment and further shape the working relationship between the owners and manager David Moyes.
