The Esk has told Everton fans to look out for Eric Williamson as a potential new board member ahead of The Friedkin Group takeover.

The Americans are set to buy the club from Farhad Moshiri, with a December end date already mooted in the process [Alan Myers, 25 October].

Speaking on the Talking the Blues Podcast [13 November], The Esk has suggested that Williamson, who the Friedkins have with them on the Roma board, could be on his way to Merseyside too.

“I think it would be very interesting once the Friedkin deal does go through to see if this guy appears on the Everton board and just remember his name. The guy’s name is Eric Williamson. He’s basically the Friedkin’s fixer,” he said.

“So across all of their businesses, when they have a problem, they call for this guy and this guy comes in and he sorts it out. He’s the guy that’s been charged with sorting out the current problem at Roma.

“And he’s a change engineer for want of a better description. He is the guy that if we’re gonna make the massive wholesale changes that we need to make at Everton, I think he’s the guy that will come into the club.

“So when they do announce the takeover as completed, and they do say who’s gonna be on the new board, just look out for this guy because I think he is the guy that’s gonna make the big changes.”
 
Dan Friedkin has emerged as front runner from a new NHL Franchise in Houston.

He has held several meetings with NHL execs it seems.

Interesting. Houston already has the Texans.. do they really need another NFL team in the city?
