Everton's ownership, The Friedkin Group (TFG), has announced the club is up for sale, marking a significant shift after their takeover in December 2024. TFG's tenure has been characterized by a lack of engagement, with chairman Dan Friedkin never attending a match or communicating with manager David Moyes since his return in January 2025.
The decision to sell follows a tumultuous period, including fan backlash over a proposed transfer of a young talent and financial challenges stemming from a breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules. TFG is expected to seek between £750 million and £800 million for the club, which has a passionate fanbase and a stable financial outlook compared to previous ownership.
As TFG seeks buyers, fans should monitor potential ownership candidates and their plans for club engagement. The upcoming transfer window will be crucial; expect scrutiny on how new owners might address squad needs and fan relations, especially after recent controversies.
