Everton fans turn on Friedkins after Armstrong, Ndiaye sales

Two years after being hailed as saviors, Everton's owners face fan mutiny over selling homegrown talent.

What happened. Everton's owners, The Friedkin Group, have damaged fan trust by planning to sell Harrison Armstrong and agreeing to sell Iliman Ndiaye, sparking a fan mutiny.

• Dan Friedkin has not attended a match since buying the club in December 2024.
• Armstrong is a 19-year-old homegrown midfielder with 24 first-team appearances.
• Proposed £40m fee for Armstrong seen as good business but principle matters.

“That, in itself, is indicative of an ownership group detached from reality.”

The Friedkins must win back fans and manager David Moyes after the backlash.
