Andy Dunn expects The Friedkin Group to bring “considerable investment” to Everton after the completion of the takeover.
The American consortium completed the long-awaited Toffees takeover on Thursday [19 December] and are wasting no time exerting their authority on Merseyside with a decision believed to have already been made on the future of Sean Dyche [iNews].
However, the Blues’ financial woes have been well-documented in recent years and with financial stability high on the agenda of priorities on Merseyside, Dunn used a £850 million benchmark writing in the Sunday Mirror [22 December, pg 65] to explain how TFG plan to steady the ship.
Writing: “There are no raised eyebrows at grand old Everton being part of a billionaire’s ‘portfolio’ or, as Friedkin recently described it to disgruntled Roma supporters, a ‘multi-club symbosis’.
“And why would there be? If nothing else, all the signs are that TFG will not only bring desperately needed financial stability to the club, they will bring considerable investment.
“In less than five years of ownership in the Serie A, it is estimated TFG have put £850million into Roma. And while they have not achieved the goal of regular qualification for the Champions League, they have increased commercial revenue and, from a business point of view, are seen as sound owners.”
