Got that on my watchlist now that Yellowstone has finished.

Today's the day, mates. COYB!

Reading and commenting in the Moshiri era thread has made me excited about this deal, given what has happened in the last 8 years or so, surely the Friedkin lot can’t do any worse than Moshiri.

Roma finished 5th when they took over, they're now 2 points off the relegation zone, on their 3rd manager this season and got fined for failing FFP, but all that said, I'm hopefully things will improve as it doesn't feel like we could get much lower

Takeover expected to be confirmed tomorrow (Thurs) according to Paddy Boyland:

The Friedkin Group (TFG) is set to complete its takeover of Everton with an official announcement expected on Thursday.

TFG reached an agreement to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s 94 per cent stake in the Merseyside club back in September, subject to regulatory approval, including from the Premier League, Football Association, and Financial Conduct Authority.

Multiple sources with knowledge of the matter, not authorised to speak publicly, have told The Athletic that the process is now in its final stages with all that remains now being notification that all official documentation has been completed.

An announcement will then follow with representatives from TFG in the UK and likely to attend the Premier League match with Chelsea at Goodison Park on Sunday.

Expected to he announced by ''late morning''.

Also says they are minded to keep Thelwell in place, but they haven't spoken to Dyche yet (which hopefully bodes well for moving him on soon).

From The Times
A formal announcement of the TFG's takeover is expected on Thursday morning, which will mark a significant day in Everton's turbulent recent history and bring the prospect of a brighter future for a club who have suffered points deductions, managerial churn and relegation battles.
Everton are also set to receive the keys to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore dock in the coming days, with the 52,888 arena due to
open at the start of the 2025-26 season.
Moshiri bought into Everton in February 2016, but his tenure became scarred by reckless spending in the early years which resulted in Everton having to sell players in recent seasons.
TFG, which boasted revenues of $13.3billion in 2024 and also owns AS Roma and AS Cannes, will look to bring financial stability back to the club by driving revenues from
the new ground while also restructuring Everton's loans.
Decisions loom on the futures of the manager, Sean Dyche, and director of football, Kevin Thelwell, who are both out of contract at the end of the season. Everton are in 16th place in the Premier League, three points above the relegation zone.
Moshiri has been trying to sell Everton for a number of years with failed dalliances with KAM Sports, MSP Sports Capital, 777-Partners and the US businessman John Textor adding to frustration in the fanbase.
Back in July, TFG backed out of a deal to buy the club amid legal concerns only to return to the negotiating table and strike an accord with Moshiri, who stands to lose about £750million on his investment.
Representatives from TFG are expected to attend Sunday's game with Chelsea, and the Everton captain, Seamus Coleman, who has been present throughout the tumult, is hoping “exciting times” lie ahead.
“From my point of view it is so important, I have really bought into what this football club is about,”
Coleman, who joined in 2009, told Sky Sports News.
“It is a unique football club. It is a football club that expects certain things from their team and I am sure the new owners will recognise that and buy into that as well. It is a special fanbase and it is a special city in general and they love their football here.
“It has been a tough four or five years for Everton, but fingers crossed for the fans now, there can be exciting times ahead.
“To be honest, in the short term for us as players we are just about winning games. The ownership is noise in the background, very exciting noise for the fans and what comes with it, but the last three or four years have taught me you cannot look too much further than the next game.
“We have been close to the line a few times the last few years and it is just about winning the next game for us and the rest will take care of itself.”
