Fans celebrated earlier this week when The Friedkin Group officially became the new owners of Everton, and a new era will now begin as the team plays Chelsea in the Premier League today in their first game since the group’s takeover.
Although the club has had a rough few years, supporters are hopeful that TFG will finally offer some much-needed stability and that this will lead to better on-field performance.
Many questions concerning people’s futures remain.
However, Sean Dyche will continue to lead Everton for the time being, and the new owners will support Kevin Thelwell as well. In fact, Dyche stated earlier this week that he has the backing of The Friedkin Group.
However, Everton is back to business on the field today, and Alan Shearer has been available to provide his prediction.
Alan Shearer warns Everton fans after The Friedkin Group takeover and makes prediction for Everton vs Chelsea
The choices that The Friedkin Group makes in the beginning will be interesting to see.
Earlier in the week, Leon Osman told Friedkins that “stability is key” and urged the new owners to “keep the right people in the right places.”
Alan Shearer has cautioned Everton supporters not to have high expectations at first, but it may be crucial for TFG to avoid upsetting anyone too much.
In addition to sharing his predictions for the match against Chelsea, the icon shared some views about the team this week.
He stated (via Metro) that Chelsea will win: “Everton should take confidence from last weekend.” Jordan Pickford was excellent.
Additionally, the acquisition is fantastic news for Everton going forward, but I don’t believe it will significantly impact the field.
“Given Chelsea’s current form and the teams Maresca can lead, I believe Chelsea will win all the points at Goodison.”
Friedkin Group should give Dyche time
Although Everton has suffered yet another subpar season, there is a case to extend Dyche’s tenure.
It’s possible that the Friedkin Group has a list of possible Dyche substitutes. However, they must undoubtedly watch his performance following the January transfer window.
| Position | Team | Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | For | Against | Diff | Points |
| 16 |  Everton |
15 | 3 | 6 | 6 | 14 | 21 | -7 | 15 |
It’s all about survival and Dyche has managed to achieve that for the past couple of campaigns.
Making a managerial change now could be a big risk, especially when there aren’t too many obvious candidates out there for what Everton currently need.
