I have Everton ownership hope as Dan Friedkin could have taken different path with one thing

Former Everton player Michael Ball argues that owner Dan Friedkin would have taken a different approach if he had attended the emotional final game at Goodison Park. Ball contends that Friedkin intentionally kept Everton as a detached business transaction rather than falling in love with the club, explaining why manager David Moyes was not heavily backed in transfer windows.

While acknowledging Friedkin stabilized the club and blocked unsuitable buyers like 777 Partners and John Textor, Ball expresses frustration over the lack of player investment. He notes that wider Premier League financial rules restrict ambitious clubs and hopes Everton finds a long-term buyer capable of pushing the team forward.
