Everton fans may lose their heads as Friedkin Group plan revealed

Everton fans cautioned against rapid rise to the top

Everton fans must be prepared for slow and steady improvements under new owners, according to finance guru Stefan Borson. Recent transfers have kept fans happy, but warnings have been sent out to those at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

What happened?

Everton fans were left disappointed after a run of seven games without a win at the end of the 2025-26 season, which saw David Moyes' side miss out on European football. Despite the Friedkins being more favorable than previous owner Farhad Moshiri, some fans are still not happy with what they've seen on Merseyside.

Why it matters for Everton

Borson discussed the potential problems around an attempted rapid rise to the top for the Toffees. "It's all positive for them, but it's the speed that I think is going to probably frustrate people around the club," he explained. "And there's going to be increasing pressure to go quicker, particularly from the fans. And that can be one of these where, just be careful what you wish for."

What comes next?

Not everything is rainbows and daisies for the Merseyside outfit, with an increasing number of reports emerging about Moyes' future. With the Scotland job now available after Steve Clarke stepped down, the 63-year-old has been tipped to swap the Toffees for the Tartan Army. Former Everton boss Roberto Martinez currently leads the race, according to most major bookmakers, but Moyes has not been ruled out at all.

Everton are currently 13th in the Premier League, with 49 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LLDDL. They have scored 47 goals and conceded 50, with a goal difference of -3. They are 36 points behind leaders Arsenal and have a next fixture against Bolton on July 25.

As the Toffees look to improve their squad, they must be careful not to rush into things. Borson's words of caution should serve as a reminder to fans that slow and steady improvements are often the best way forward. With the new owners at the helm, it will be interesting to see how they navigate the challenges ahead.
