Everton fans may not have long left to wait for the takeover to be complete if the predictions are true, but there is a worry that has arisen which fans have been quick to question.
Dan Friedkin appears to be putting all his eggs in Everton’s basket as reports have emerged that he’s willing to sell a 30% stake in AS Roma to use as investment on Merseyside.
This will come as welcome news for Everton fans, with some of them raising concern about the possible conflict of interest when owning two high-profile clubs.
However, it’s not just the takeover that’s on the minds of the Friedkin Group, as Sean Dyche is currently under scrutiny and a replacement in the form of David Moyes is being eyed.
And now Everton fans have noticed a potential concern of their own, with some bringing up a potential that could delay the takeover.

Alan Myers addresses worries about A-CAP hearing
Alan Myers has been the go-to man for many Everton fans when it comes to the takeover, and he’s delivered once again on his X account.
There was an update on the A-CAP case, which stated.
‘A-CAP’s counsel further references the prospective transaction in its argument that there is a harm caused by the preliminary injunction that warrants expedition. A requested schedule was put forth to facilitate the requested decision on (or before) 14 Mar 2025.’
This came after the deal between A-CAP and Friedkin was referenced in court documents, with A-CAP’s counsel stating that the District Court declined to provide guidance on the prospective transaction.’
This led to a fan named @CitizenSuburbia raising their concern of the date stated.
However, Alan Myers put the worry to bed with an update on the situation.
What is happening with A-Cap and Leadenhall?
The Friedkin Group reached an agreement with A-Cap, who have taken over the £200million debt Everton owed to previous buyers 777 Partners.
This involves £66m of the money owed being repaid up front and the rest will be converted into a more manoeuvrable debt, with the future potential to convert it into shares in the club.
However, there were reports that nobody had asked Leadenhall if they were happy with the A-Cap element, which has caused some issues.
It appears that all of this will work itself out in the background and have no effect on the takeover.
