Having been used to the near-year-long process that eventually saw 777 Partners rejected as potential Everton owners, every little wait on the takeover front is naturally now met with great worry on Merseyside.
They know the worst case scenario, after all, and worries are understandable given Dan Friedkin’s seeming aptitude.
Doubts about whether the finances are just too much for them to handle or whether some skeletons from their own history have also surfaced get stronger the longer things take.
There are several obstacles to overcome and dangers that might ruin the whole thing.
Luckily, Alan Myers is here to give us another regular report.
Alan Myers provides latest Everton takeover update
As one of the most revered journalists regarding Everton, people flock to him for information where there is otherwise none. And not someone to stir up conjecture, he only gives his informed opinion when relevant, and otherwise only tweets to break news stories.
But because of his insider status and relationship with the fan community, fans frequently ask him straight questions about X.
“I don’t know the actual working agreement tbh but I do know nothing will move forward until TFG are satisfied and the SPA is agreed, I don’t see that by end of July, (but possible) then the PL process will begin, and alongside the deal can be closed,” Myers said in response to a concern that the wait might negatively impact the club’s cash flow.
Then, he was only able to speculate when someone else asked for a more precise timeline: “My guess would be September at the earliest.”
Dan Friedkin’s takeover delay is only natural
Fans’ concerns about the takeover delay are understandable, but so is this waiting period.
After all, given the numerous obstacles to membership in the Premier League, buying a football club is a process that takes time.
Some find it extremely difficult to establish their value since they believe they are unsuitable and would destroy a prominent English club.
Ironically, with Farhad Moshiri, they were blind to that.
However, Friedkin’s lengthy tale is probably simply part of his routine due diligence, when he goes over the data required to make an informed choice on the Toffees.
He is aware that there is still much work to be done and that what he is investing in is far from perfect.
