A potential takeover of Everton has fallen through. "Both Blue Heaven Holdings and The Friedkin Group entered discussions in good faith to explore whether a sale could be agreed. Everton said the Friedkin Group would remain a lender to the club, who were twice docked points last season over breaches of Premier League financial rules. The Friedkin Group also owns a controlling stake in Italian side Roma. "Blue Heaven Holdings maintains a positive relationship with The Friedkin Group and would like to thank them for the time and effort they have put into this process," the Everton statement added.
