Everton under American control: Friedkin Group takes over!
The American takeover of Everton: A new star in the football sky!
In a dramatic turning point for English football, the Texas-based Friedkin Group has taken control of storied Premier League club Everton! With an impressive purchase of 98.8% of the shares, Everton will now become part of a wide-ranging investment portfolio that also includes Italian side Roma. A real coup!
The Friedkin Group, led by Dan Friedkin and his son Ryan, has made a name for itself in a variety of industries - from automotive to entertainment to sports. They built their fortune by selling Toyotas in Texas. Now they are continuing their ambitions in football by taking over the ninth champions of England, who have been in the top flight continuously since 1954 but have been waiting for a major title since 1995. A club with history!
A new beginning for Everton
The takeover ends a long period of uncertainty for Everton, who recently sit in 16th place in the Premier League. Fans are breathing a sigh of relief as the Friedkin Group is committed to leading the club into an exciting new era – both on and off the pitch. “Today is a memorable and proud day for the Friedkin Group as we become the guardians of this iconic football club,” Marc Watts, the club’s new chief executive, told Everton’s website. A promise of change!
The takeover was approved following the completion of the Premier League's ownership and director review and terms of sale were agreed back in September. Everton now becomes the tenth American-majority club in the Premier League. A sign of the influence of the USA in European football!
A move is imminent
Liverpool are on track to leave Goodison Park at the end of the season to move to a new stadium. Their next Premier League game is against Chelsea - a real test of the new era! Fans are excited to see what the future holds as the Friedkins take the reins and direct the club's fortunes. A new wind is blowing through the streets of Liverpool!
With this takeover, the Friedkin Group has not only opened a new chapter for Everton, but also for itself in international football. The world will be watching closely to see how this ambitious plan unfolds!
