Everton are set to be taken over by the Freidkin Group and an expert has stunningly tipped their new owners to replace Sean Dyche with a big name.
The group, led by Roma chairman Dan Fried king , have signed an exclusivity agreement with the Toffees’ majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and things are expected to progress quickly.
The takeover has got fans excited as there finally seems to be some light at the end of the tunnel after three consecutive relegation battles and a failed bid from 777 Partners.
Dyche deserves a lot of credit for keeping Everton in the Premier League in extremely difficult circumstances, especially last season when they received an eight-point deduction for a breach of the profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
Everton seem to have got themselves on the right side of PSR after selling Ben Godfrey and Lewis Dobbin, and have already brought in two signings in Jack Harrison (loan) and Tim Iroegbunam (£9m), as well as highly rated youth players Omari Benjamin, Braiden Graham and Ceiran Loney.
