Everton owners consider selling club two years after takeover

Everton owners The Friedkin Group (TFG) are considering selling their club less than two years after taking control of the team. In a statement, TFG said they have prioritised stability, investment and the completion of the new stadium, and now believe it is time to consider the next chapter for Everton. The Friedkin Group, led by chairman Dan Friedkin, took over the club in 2024 after it was facing significant financial uncertainty and challenges.

They have put the club on a stable financial footing and introduced a new stadium, but their tenure is seen as relatively unspectacular. The decision to explore selling the club follows recent controversies, including the controversial sale of England Under-19 midfielder Harrison Armstrong and the departure of Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City.

Former goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis described TFG's plans to sell the club as a shock, stating that the club has been stabilised under their ownership.
