Everton, Friedkin ready to take over the majority package
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Dan Friedkin holds 94% of Everton. At the end of a “fast and transparent” negotiation, Moshiri deemed the Friedkin project “the most serious and credible” from a financial and future commitment point of view: the almost 4 years spent at the helm of Roma have evidently weighed on the choice of Iranian owner to prefer the Giallorossi buyer over the other suitors for the club. According to the BBC, the announcement could come over the weekend.
By signing the Everton purchase deed today, Friedkin will take over the majority stake through Blue Heaven Holdings Limited: the remaining 4.6% will be free-floating, held by minor shareholders, and 1.3% will remain with the former president Bill Kenwright’s company. It is clear that for the Friedkins the owned stadium constitutes a revenue generator to push the club further, as will also happen in France in Cannes, where the Pierre De Coubertin will be renovated while waiting for the team to move up in category. What is about to be born, therefore, is a timeshare under the sign of the tycoon, which embraces three nations.
