Friedkin Group Considers Sale of Controlling Stake in Everton
The Friedkin Group has opened the door to a sale of a controlling stake in Everton as it considers fresh investment routes for the club.
Everton’s owners said they are reviewing options that include the possible disposal of majority control, having taken charge at a time when the club was dealing with major financial uncertainty and difficulties on and off the field.
The group said its initial task was to secure Everton’s position through stability, funding and operational support, while also helping deliver the completion of the club’s long-awaited new stadium.
With those foundations now established, The Friedkin Group believes Everton is ready for a new phase. Any prospective investor will be assessed on whether they can provide responsible ownership and continue the progress made during the current stewardship.
The club stressed that the review will not alter its day-to-day commitment to football operations. The Friedkin Group said it will continue to provide the support required for Everton to pursue improvement on the pitch, while maintaining its work within the communities connected to the club.
No further updates will be provided while the investment process remains ongoing.
