In an article published on the website of law firm BCLP, Rights & Media Funding director David McKnight praised the legal support it had received from the group during talks surrounding the Everton takeover deal with The Friedkin Group.
R&MF are reported to hold Everton debt to the tune of around £225m, and they stepped in last year to veto one investment proposal from MSP Sports Capital.
Their positive outward statements about the legal aspects of securing a deal with The Friedkin Group are considered significant in providing added confidence that not only did the extensive negotiations well away from public view enable TFG to overcome the obstacles that caused them to apparently walk away from any deal with Farhad Moshiri in July but also that R&MF are happy with the terms.
Further detail and insight into what has been happening that led up to the sudden and surprise announcement of a deal last Sunday has been provide by Matt Slater in The Athletic FC podcast.
