Stefan Borson claims that Everton may have a lot of interest payable as The Friedkin Group rescheduled existing loans with JP Morgan.
The finance expert has reacted as Kieran Maguire revealed a document that showed existing loans had been restructured, given Friedkins’ good relationship with the American bank.
Borson then threw light on an article in Bloomberg on 5 December that claimed the loans are understood to be in the region of £660million.
Via X, Borson wrote: “The Bloomberg report suggested the loan was £660m. Quite a lot of interest payable if this is correct.”
Everton may free up funds for more short-term expenses
The restructuring and rescheduling of loans was likely motivated by strategic financial planning aimed at stabilising and potentially improving the club’s financial health.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
By restructuring these loans and leveraging their good relationship with JP Morgan, the world’s largest bank (S&P Global), The Friedkin Group can negotiate more favourable terms, such as lower interest rates or extended repayment periods, which directly reduces the immediate financial burden on the Toffees.
This manoeuvre benefits Everton by potentially freeing up significant cash flow that was previously tied to servicing high-interest debt.
This financial relief can be redirected towards more short-term and immediate costs that are vital just after the takeover.
Also, this may improve Everton’s creditworthiness, making future financing less costly and more accessible, thereby fostering a more sustainable financial environment for the club’s ongoing operations and future growth ambitions.
The Friedkin Group know what they are getting into and hopefully, they can take the club forward.
