The Friedkin Group vowed to restore Everton to their “rightful place in the Premier League table” after completing a takeover that brought the turbulent era of Farhad Moshiri to an end.

The US company (TFG), owned by the Texas billionaire Dan Friedkin, agreed a complex deal to purchase Moshiri’s 94.1% shareholding in September.

The loans from Bluesky Capital totalled £451m and have been wiped out.
