Dan Friedkin takeover at Everton hits ‘stumbling block’ as issue emerges – revealed

Bryan King claims Dan Friedkin’s takeover of Everton has hit a “stumbling block”.

The ex-Goodison scout still feels as though the takeover will go ahead despite the issue.

According to the Esk (13 June), the Toffees owe 777 Partners almost £200million.

And King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – has revealed that the Friedkin Group are reluctant to pay this debt.

“I’ve been informed by somebody that there is a slight issue,” King said.

“The main stumbling block for the Friedkin Group is that they don’t want to pay off the money owed to 777 Partners.

“That is one of the main problems with the takeover process. However, I imagine it will be sorted in some shape or form.

“We will need to wait and see, but something needs to happen, and happen fast.”
