The latest news on Friday morning is that Everton are up for sale.
Turbulence continues in the blue half of Merseyside.
Everton was put up for sale just 22 months after being bought.
The car wreck club is once again looking for new owners.
Everton fans were left disappointed in a summer transfer window that saw the club make a net profit.
It’s clear these owners don’t have the answers to turn around the crisis club they took over in December 2024.
Official statement from Everton owners: “The Friedkin Group is exploring new investment options for Everton Football Club, including the potential sale of a controlling stake. When TFG became trustees of Everton, the Club faced significant financial uncertainty and challenges both on and off the pitch. The immediate priority was to secure the stability, investment and support needed to secure the Club’s future, including helping to complete the long-promised stadium for its deserving supporters. With this foundation now securely in place, the next step for Everton it is time to review the chapter. We will only attract the interest of those parties who we believe will be the right stewards to take the Club forward and build on the momentum… Retained by Moelis & Company TFG.’
The owners of any major Premier League club, be it Everton, Newcastle United, Liverpool, etc. well, you’d have to be extremely naïve to believe he’s acting out of anything other than self-interest.
These Everton owners realized very quickly that they had a club in such dire straits that they needed to get out of there as soon as possible.
It will be interesting to see who can buy him, probably another American owner, which is the case with most of the Premier League now.
