Everton shareholders rejected by The Friedkin Group as dramatic fear emerges
Everton shareholders have had a request rebuffed by the newly installed TFG ownership at Goodison Park, affecting around 1,500 supporters.
Ever since the installation of The Friedkin Group, things have improved massively for Everton on the pitch, with David Moyes the driving force behind those successes.
Having looked destined to succumb to relegation after several years of fighting against it, Moyes has masterminded the revival from a footballing point of view.
However, TFG as of yet, have been unable to really showcase their ambition for the Merseysiders, having been restricted with what they can do in the winter transfer window, with much of the hopes hanging on the near future ahead of a move to Bramley-Moore Dock.
With that said, some concerns have already emerged ahead of that move, in regard to a request made from minority Everton shareholders being rejected by the new owners.

While many will be purely judging TFG in regard to what they do on the pitch, for many, what they do off of it will be just as important, with some concerns already starting to surface in that regard.
As of January, around 1,500 Everton supporters were believed to have held a minority share in the club, with approximately 8,000 shares in total among them, with 135,000 in total.
