American tycoons have also made their move into the Premier League market. Leading the helm of the Liverpool club will be Marc Watts, the right-hand man of Dan.

For the Friedkins, a new era has begun. American entrepreneurs have indeed officially purchased 94.1% of Everton’s shares after a long negotiation process, only concluded yesterday following the approval of the Premier League. The American newspaper New York Times has provided a thorough insight into the history and governance of The Friedkin Group, which, as reported, has a net worth estimated at $8.2 billion and an annual turnover of about $13 billion. The purchase of Everton has been made possible through the challenging economic situation and the allure of the Premier League, not to mention the club itself, which has never been relegated. Their goal is indeed to secure survival in the shortest possible time and then to start investing from the summer market. A crucial role has also been played by the project of the new stadium which, just like in Rome, represents a great economic and prestigious opportunity. Leading the Liverpool club will be Marc Watts, chairman of The Friedkin Group, while Dan will be the chairman of the Board of Directors, which will include Ana Dunkel, finance director of TFG, and Colin Chong.
