The Friedkin Group look set to become the new Everton owners, but there’s already an underlying issue that has cost the club massively.
Everton could find themselves with a new manager if results don’t start improving as the Friedkin Group have shown no mercy over at Roma so far this season.
Daniele De Rossi was sacked despite having a better record than Jose Mourinho at the Italian club, and his replacement Ivan Juric has already gone and has been replaced by Claudio Ranieri.
Interestingly, the Friedkin Group have already told Ranieri about their stance on the Everton takeover, with it claimed that the Merseyside club are being bought just to be a part of their multi-club model.
However, there’s one issue that the prospective new owners are already aware of and will need to keep an eye on moving forward, according to Graeme Bailey.
The Friedkin Group’s stance on PSR issues at Everton
It was reported recently that the PSR issues have left scars at Everton after the points deduction cost them massively last season.
Speaking exclusively to Everton News, Graeme Bailey has stated that the Friedkin Group are well aware of the situation and are confident of sorting it.
It’s a worry. You know the change in systems next summer but I’m told it’s something the Friedkins are aware of and they’re comfortable with the situation, hence why they’re taking it over.
“But yeah it may not be an overnight thing, but yeah I’m told that they’re fully aware of the implications and what needs doing.
What Everton insiders have previously said about the PSR issue
An update from Everton insiders at the start of October told a similar story, as they said it’s under control.
“Last week, a takeover deal for the Friedkin Group to obtain Farhad Moshiri’s entire 94.1% stake in Everton was confirmed, bringing realistic hope that the club can now look forward to a far more financially robust and stable future.
‘The belief at Everton is that despite the two points deductions last season, the club is now in a good position on that front, with the expectation held internally that PSR compliance is unlikely to be a major issue this year, reducing the demand for another big sale from a regulatory perspective.
