Dan Friedkin, the American businessman, is set to offer a stake in Everton to George Downing and Andy Bell as part of his takeover bid. According to Alan Nixon, Friedkin wants the two men, who are owed £200m by the club, to be part of his new setup at Goodison Park. This move would see Downing and Bell become part-owners of the club, a dream come true for many Everton fans.
Downing and Bell were previously interested in purchasing the club but were overlooked in favor of Friedkin. However, Friedkin is willing to give them a “slice of the club” to get them on board. This would ensure that the club is run by people with the Toffees’ best interests at heart.
The deal would be a significant development in Friedkin’s takeover bid, which has been ongoing for several months. Friedkin has agreed to pay off the club’s debts, including the £200m owed to Downing and Bell, as part of his takeover.
Everton fans will be delighted to hear that Friedkin is willing to involve Downing and Bell in the running of the club. The two men have a deep understanding of the club and its history, and their involvement would ensure that the club is run with the fans’ best interests at heart.
With a new era on the horizon, Everton fans are feeling optimistic about the future. The club has been through a difficult period in recent years, but Friedkin’s takeover bid and the involvement of Downing and Bell could signal a bright future for the Toffees.
