TFG has acquired a 98.8% stake in the club, promising an "exciting new era" for the Merseyside giants both on and off the pitch. 💰⚽

The Premier League, Football Association, and regulatory authorities have all approved the deal, adding Everton to TFG's football portfolio, which also includes AS Roma. 🏟️🇮🇹
Marc Watts, the newly appointed executive chairman, stated: “Today marks a momentous and proud occasion for The Friedkin Group as we become custodians of this iconic football club. Restoring Everton to its rightful place in the Premier League table will take time, but today is the first step in that journey.” 💙💪

Under TFG’s leadership, stability and strategic investment are expected to revive the club’s fortunes. Fans eagerly await this transformation as the Toffees aim to reclaim their legacy in English football. 🌟🏆

15-Dec-2024: ⚽🔥 Manchester Derby Drama: United Stun City with Diallo’s Late Heroics! Manchester United 🇾🇪 snatched a thrilling 2-1 victory over cross-town rivals Manchester City 🇲🇨 in a derby that will be remembered for Amad Diallo's incredible late-game heroics. 🏟️ City initially took the lead in the 36th minute through Josko Gvardiol, who headed home a deflected corner from Kevin De Bruyne. Despite their defensive vulnerabilities, United lacked sharpness in the final third, with City looking set to grind out a much-needed win. Enter Amad Diallo. The young star’s relentless energy turned the tide in the dying moments. He won a late penalty, coolly converted by Bruno Fernandes in the 88th minute. Just minutes later, Diallo sealed the comeback with a stunning volley, outmaneuvering Ederson and Gvardiol to send the ball into the net. 🙌 The win marked another landmark moment for manager Ruben Amorim, as United exploited City’s shaky defense, including a crucial error by makeshift left-back Matheus Nunes, whose misjudgment led to the penalty. City’s struggles continued, with Pep Guardiola now facing an alarming eighth loss in 11 matches.
