You re very welcome along to the programme, wherever you re watching around the world. After one of the most turbulent years in the club s history, there is finally some good news for everton. It was just over 12 months ago that the owner farhad moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake. But as the first takeover stalled and eventually fell through, two separate points deductions for financial breaches followed, leaving the team facing another potential relegation battle. They avoided that, but two more potential investors came and went over the summer, and the team have now made their worst start to a season since the 1950s. But the club picked up its first point over the weekend, it has now emerged that one of those summer suitors was back and a deal has been agreed, so if it passes the necessary checks, then the friedkin group fronted by the american billionaire dan friedkin will become the new owners.

Was back and a deal has been agreed, so if it passes the necessary checks, then the friedkin group fronted by the american billionaire dan friedkin will become the new owners. They ve had talks this weekend with farhad moshiri, come to an agreement, and i am told the deal is done, it has been signed. I m also told the finances are already in place. Any issues they had over the 777 loans have been resolved as well. So all this now needs is premier league ratification, and i m told that could happen pretty quickly as well. Well, it has taken 18 months to get to this stage, with three potantial takeovers having previously failed to be completed. So this latest development is being met with cautious optimism. It s a mixed reaction, one of excitement at the potential to move forward but also a little air of i ll believe it when i actually see it finally in place. We ve sort of been running like a corner shop. We ve not really had that direction, that strategy, that big perspective menta
