a formal statement made available by Everton on Friday afternoon, June 21, 2024.
Verifying a deal with the new potential proprietors.
Everton claims that in order for The Friedkin Group to finish buying the team, they have granted them a period of exclusivity.
Since Moshiri controls more than 94% of the team, they will essentially have complete control if and when The Friedkin Group makes their payment.
Interesting to see what happens, though the finances of the club will still be a total mess no matter who is in control heading into next season.
Everton official statement – 21 June 2024:
‘Everton Football Club would like to provide fans and stakeholders with an update regarding new investment into the Club.
Blue Heaven Holdings has received significant interest from several highly respected parties interested in investing in the Club.
The Club can confirm today (21 June) that a period of exclusivity has been granted to The Friedkin Group to progress discussions to acquire a majority shareholding in Everton.
When there is further news to share, it will be provided via the Club’s official communication channels.’
