The outcome of the Shakespearean modern-day classic, where legacy was reborn, continues to resonate in the mind of Morning Star boxing writer JOHN WIGHT
EVERTON fans say they can look forward with “hope and optimism” after the club’s takeover by the Friedkin Group (TFG) was completed today.
The Merseyside club’s supporters have had to endure the collapse of an earlier takeover attempt by US investors 777 Partners and the shock of being docked eight points last season for breaches of Premier League financial rules.
They must now hope all that is behind them after Roundhouse Capital Holdings Limited, an entity within TFG, acquired outgoing owner Farhad Moshiri’s majority stake in the club, who will move into their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in time for next season.
