Ex-employee: TFG are offering Everton buyers a '£280m guarantee'

The Friedkin Group is seeking around £800m to sell Everton, with prospective buyers assured of £280m annual Premier League revenue under David Moyes.

The Friedkin Group is exploring a sale of Everton less than two years after purchasing the club from Farhad Moshiri for approximately £400m. Led by Dan Friedkin, the American consortium is targeting around £800m for the sale, with investment bank Moelis & Company leading the process.

According to former Everton scout Bryan King, the main guarantee TFG can offer buyers is the club's Premier League status and the associated £280m in annual revenue. King told Football Insider that with the owners focused on selling rather than investing, significant player acquisitions are unlikely. He suggested the club's realistic ambitions under current ownership are limited to maintaining top-flight status, with cup competitions a secondary concern.

Everton face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup on Thursday, with manager David Moyes having previously questioned whether cup success is more important than Premier League survival.
