The Friedkin Group aren’t messing about when it comes to improving Everton but elsewhere they are making serious moves.
Everton’s owners have made a serious impression that they are fully invested in making sure the Toffees return to glory.
It will take time no doubt, but the appointment of David Moyes has proven inspired, as the Scotsman’s arrival has been nothing but a success so far.
Their off-field movements have become clear with Dan Ashworth of interest to Everton, but Sir Jim Ratcliffe warned Everton of Ashworth.
Whether that has any chance of coming to fruition is another question, but Dan Friedkin is now looking at something that could break records in a remarkable bid from The Friedkins.

Everton owners the Friedkin Group in world-record takeover bid
The new ownership around the Merseyside club clearly have a good indication of how to manage sports teams, and their new venture exemplifies that perfectly.
According to Sportico, The Friedkins are in a bidding war to add the Boston Celtics to their sporting ventures.
The basketball giants are said to have an estimated value of $5.66 billion as it’s clear Everton’s owners have wealth to spend.

It seems the plan is to add the Celtics alongside their ownerships of the Toffees and Roma, as the sale process is being managed by JPMorgan who Everton fans know all too well after recent news.

New £350m deal could be key for Everton amid Celtics bid
With the anticipation of the Bramley Moore-Dock Stadium building ahead of the next Premier League campaign, behind-the-scenes work from The Friedkins could prove to be pivotal.
Last Thursday, Everton announced a £350m financing deal as the Toffees have refinanced their debt of the stadium with JPMorgan, who are helping The Friedkins with this world-record bid.
This could open plenty of doors now for Everton and the ownership as the relationship between JPMorgan is only building and if the takeover is completed, this could bring new opportunities around the club.
The Friedkins expanding their sporting portfolio is only an advantage for Everton, and continuing this blossoming partnership with JPMorgan makes for exciting times.
Another prospect that helps Everton’s relationship is TFG’s Enterprise Chief Financial Officer, Ana Dunkel, who used to work for JPMorgan, as she could prove vital to future ideas.
This bid only highlights the progress The Friedkins are making in their own businesses, but also how it can transform Everton’s future.
