Davidson's US Shrewsbury takeover involves Friedel

American businessman Scott Davidson, a self-made multi-millionaire with a background in real estate and banking, is set to take over struggling League Two club Shrewsbury Town alongside former USA international goalkeeper Brad Friedel. Davidson, who has been involved in the Scottish League Two club The Spartans since July 2021, has been cleared by the English Football League and the Independent Football Regulator to proceed with the takeover.

The deal, which involves both Davidson and Friedel joining the Shrewsbury board, is expected to be completed within the next few weeks, marking the end of 85-year-old chairman Roland Wycherley's three-decades-long tenure. Friedel, who has a UEFA A licence, has played an active role in helping Davidson during the takeover process.
