Everton’s impending takeover will bring “stability” and “clear up the noise” that surrounds the club, says manager Sean Dyche.
On Monday, the Friedkin Group reached an agreement to buy Farhad Moshiri’s majority 94% stake in the Toffees, but the transaction is subject to regulatory approval.
Sources close to the deal have “full confidence” completion can be achieved within the next eight to 12 weeks.
“It looks like a stronger situation from the past,” said Dyche. “There is a long way to go to get everything to a final point but the early signs look favourable in the situation but we will we will have to wait and see.
“Openly speaking, [the takeover will bring] more of the stability. It has been on unsettled ground for such a long time now, with varying situations and various opinions.
“It will clear up the noise that surrounds Everton football Club.”
The US-based Friedkin Group is led by chairman Dan Friedkin, who also owns Roma, and has a net worth of £5.7bn according to Forbes.
The final decision rests with the Premier League and will depend on whether the group can satisfy the Owners’ and Directors’ Test, but should the deal be completed, Everton would become the 10th club in the English top flight under majority American ownership.
A sale would end the long-running saga of Moshiri’s attempts to sell the club, with 777 Partners missing a deadline to complete earlier this year after agreeing a deal last September.
