‘Most Likely’ Everton bidder to return to the table emerges and it is not JOHN TEXTOR as many people expects

Vatche Manoukian’s group is likely to re-emerge as a potential buyer of Everton FC after Dan Friedkin’s takeover bid collapsed, according to Matt Slater of The Athletic. Manoukian’s group had previously made a £400million bid for the club, but was overtaken by The Friedkin Group in the race for exclusivity.

With Friedkin’s exit, the club is back on the market, and Manoukian’s group may be an early frontrunner to take over. However, their previous bid was dismissed as “not serious” by some, raising questions about their suitability as contenders.

The collapse of Friedkin’s bid has highlighted the challenges facing any potential buyer of Everton FC. The club’s financial situation is precarious, and any new owner must have the means and expertise to navigate the complexities of the takeover process.

The failure of 777 Partners’ attempted takeover earlier this year has also demonstrated the importance of having a suitable buyer with the necessary resources and expertise. The Friedkin Group’s exit has shown that even a seemingly viable bid can fall apart due to the complexities of the situation.

Despite the challenges, Everton FC remains an attractive proposition for potential buyers. The club’s new stadium project on Bramley-Moore Dock is expected to be “instantly iconic” and provides a beacon of hope for its financial future.

In addition to Manoukian’s group, other potential buyers may also be monitoring the situation. Vici Private Finance has been keeping a close eye on developments, and there may be other unnamed groups waiting in the wings.

Farhad Moshiri, the current owner, needs new offers to come in unless he can suddenly fund the club himself. However, there has been no indication that he is willing or able to do so, making a new takeover bid increasingly likely.

The situation highlights the uncertainty facing Everton FC and its fans. While the club’s financial situation is precarious, the potential for a new owner to take the reins and steer the club towards financial sustainability and success on the pitch remains a tantalizing prospect.

In conclusion, Vatche Manoukian’s group may be the most likely former bidder to return to the table
