Italian Expert raises Dan Friedkin 'Red Flag' for Everton fans live on talkSPORT

Italian expert Danielle Fisichella has warned Everton fans about the “red flag” posed by the Friedkin Group ahead of their anticipated takeover.

While the completion of the takeover will go down as a good day for Everton, Fisichella has warned supporters of the potential issues the club could face under his stewardship.

Speaking on talkSPORT (13 November, 7:55 pm), Fisichella alluded to some of the concerns the ownership group caused at Roma and how they may affect the Toffees, particularly when it has come to their hiring-and-firing of head coaches at Stadio Olimpico.

He said: “Mourinho was not viable in terms of a business point of view. Roma were making the headlines in the wrong way. They had too many players sent off. Mourinho himself was sent off far too many times.

“They decided just to cut the cord and remove one of the most popular Roma managers in the last decade and the same happened with De Rossi. As soon as they understood that there was some issues within the dressing room with some players they just moved very, very quickly. Only to admit to the sporting director that they did make a mistake. 

“So, for Everton fans, this is a red flag. This is something that they should be aware of. They (Friedkins) are able to spend, he will be able to attract top managers as he did at Roma.”

Friedkin takeover will be a net positive for Everton

Everton have certainly been through the ringer in the past few seasons, with a multitude of financial issues and Profit and Sustainability concerns to battle, as well as indifferent performances on the pitch.

For a club of that size, it simply isn’t right what has happened in recent years but the pending takeover from the Friedkin Group has given cause for optimism that brighter days and greater ambitions are on the horizon on the blue half of Merseyside.

Everton’s squad have lacked quality this season and a fresh boost of investment is needed urgently to rekindle the club and get them heading back in the right direction.

As mentioned by Fisichella, under the proposed ownership, Everton will undoubtedly be able to attract some top managers. A huge club with fresh ambitions playing in the Premier League will provide an enticing proposition to elite coaches across Europe and the prospect of having money to spend will add to that.

Despite the concerns and the current start to the campaign, it is certainly an exciting time to be an Everton supporter as they look to get back competiting at the right end of the table.
