What changed at Everton after Friedkins promised a ‘long-term vision’?

The Friedkin Group is exploring options for Everton, including a potential sale of its controlling stake less than two years after completing a takeover in December 2024. Investment bank Moelis has been appointed to oversee the process. TFG stated that having addressed Everton's immediate financial problems and opened the Hill Dickinson Stadium, the time is right to consider the club's next chapter.

Read Everton argues that rising squad development costs, financial commitments to Roma's planned Pietralata stadium, and UEFA multi-club ownership rules are major factors behind the decision. Despite exploring options, TFG reportedly plans to continue funding Everton, with transfer funds expected for manager David Moyes in the January window.
