10月10日，据天空体育的Alan Myers报道，弗里德金集团渴望将埃弗顿俱乐部以8至10亿英镑的价格转让。
David Moyes, the manager of Everton, commented on the announcement by TFG Group, expressing astonishment: "It certainly caught me off guard, as they have been involved for just a year and a half. Most of us assumed they would establish a long-term presence over the next couple of decades. However, perhaps after navigating through the tumultuous events during the transfer window, we have gained a clearer perspective on the situation."
