The Everton Fan Advisory Board (FAB) responded to the proposed takeover by saying: “We are encouraged by the statement from TFG about its aim to bring stability to our club and the group’s commitment to sharing their vision for the future of the football club and our new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. For several years, Evertonians have lived through an anxious and stressful time.

“It is our hope that TFG recognises that the most important and influential stakeholder of Everton is its supporters. FAB representatives have previously met with prospective bidders, and we would strongly encourage TFG to take a similar approach in engaging with us, so that we can help them to understand what supporters expect from any new owner.

“Our club has untold potential, and harnessing the passion of Everton supporters can be a critical factor in helping drive us to success. To this end we have produced a set of principles and considerations based on input from the regular fan engagement sessions that we have held.

“These questions are adjoined to the values and traditions that are embedded in our hearts and souls as handed down through generations of Evertonians.”
