It may have been a stretch.
The Friedkin Group
Re: The Friedkin Group
Waiting for someone savvy to confirm, but judging by today's Companies House filings it looks like Everton FC have sold Goodison Park and women's team...
Re: The Friedkin Group
I think it is not a sale per se, but suggests there may be one incoming, or it could be to do with investment or a restructure

Re: The Friedkin Group
Minority stake - love it.
Get someone to massively overpay for a small stake now then we sell another portion to an ‘associate’ for an even bigger mark-up at a later date.

Re: The Friedkin Group
It sounds convincing but I just don't see how he could have bought us whilst owning shares in Palace. If anything that video makes it sounds like he got played by Moshiri/Friedkins.

Re: The Friedkin Group
Billionaire Everton FC and AS Roma owner Dan Friedkin has formed a new sports-team group, Pursuit Sports, to manage his soccer teams while actively hunting for a franchise in one of the big four North American leagues.
Friedkin, who also owns AS Cannes of France, will announce the formation of Pursuit Sports later Wednesday, naming former Clearlake and Fenway Sports Group executive Dave Beeston as Pursuit’s CEO.
“The intention has been to form a parent company that would do two things: provide operational excellence—amplify our operations for the clubs we own now—and evaluate opportunities to grow,” Beeston said on a video call. “When I wake up I am thinking about how I am helping Roma, Everton, Cannes get to where they want to get to … and at the same time thinking about growing the company through acquisition.”

Don't love the links to Clearlake tbh, hopefully just indicative of the incestuous nature of the game
