Impending Takeover: Friedkin Group Close to Acquiring Everton Football Club

Chairman Dan Friedkin, who is also the owner of Serie A side Roma, had reached a preliminary agreement to buy current owner Moshiri's 94% stake in June. This deal came after a previous attempt to sell to Miami-based 777 Partners LLC had fallen through earlier in the year.

In recent weeks American billionaire John Textor has spoken openly of his desire to purchase the Blues after talks with Moshiri but the club distanced themselves with the deal and released a statement before Sean Dyche's press conference last week suggesting there was "work to be done." 

Now the deal is back on with the Friedkin Group as the ownership saga comes to an end which could help the likes of Dyche who will have been feeling under immense pressure from all directions in recent months.
