Cahill defends TFG as Everton legend tells fans ‘be careful what you wish for’

Former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has defended The Friedkin Group's ownership of the club, urging fans to "be careful what you wish for." Speaking in an interview with BBC Radio Merseyside, Cahill addressed supporter concerns regarding the ownership group's level of communication, pointing to Everton's positive start to the season and the presence of a TFG representative at every match.

Cahill noted the club's broader operational progress and its new stadium compared to the prior tenures of Bill Kenwright and Farhad Moshiri. TFG completed its takeover of Everton in December 2024, leading to record club revenue of £196.7 million and a reduced pre-tax loss of £8.6 million, despite ongoing questions around communication and UEFA's multi-club ownership rules.
