Dan Friedkin quickfire Everton sale mooted once takeover done – King

Bryan King is optimistic that Dan Friedkin is the right man to help Everton get back on track.

The ex-Goodison scout claims that Friedkin looks to be someone who could bring stability to the club.

It comes after The Independent reported (22 June) that the Friedkin Group have invested £200million into Everton to repay a loan and provide working capital for the Toffees.

And King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – is hopeful that the club’s prospective new owners will offer a long-term solution.

“Everton need stability and if Friedkin is going to provide that, then that is a relief,” King said.

“He does look as though he could be a serious owner, but it has got to be right for Everton. This needs to be a long-term investment.

“Friedkin can’t come in and try and sell the club in a few years again like Moshiri has done. Hopefully, he has got the money and know-how to put the club back where it should be.”
