Tim Cahill defends Friedkins and sends message to Everton fans – ‘careful what you wish for’

Former Everton midfielder Tim Cahill has defended The Friedkin Group, stating the owners have the club's best interests at heart despite fan criticism over a chaotic transfer window. Everton collected more than £100 million on deadline day by selling Iliman Ndiaye, Beto, Tim Iroegbunam, and Nathan Patterson, while loaning out Adam Aznou and missing out on signing Folarin Balogun from Monaco.

Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Cahill warned supporters to be careful what they wish for regarding ownership visibility. He highlighted the club's business stability and stadium project, noting that ownership representatives attend matches even though manager David Moyes revealed chairman Dan Friedkin has not spoken with him.
