The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Jacko93]

From my experience, when a company is taken over, even though all employees are protected by TUPE, the new owners are entitled to restructure the business and that can also included redundancies and part of that process can include asking people to reapply for their jobs so they can see who to make redundant.

Something like that anyway. The rumour might have been codswallop though. Just have to wait and see what happens when it is completed.

I do doubt it's true tbh. I just hope the rumours hasn't gone so far arms to reach the people it might affect.

I might be wrong, but if they're forcing people to re-apply then there must be some duplication of role. If not, they must be making the whole role redundant, so they can't just go out and fill it immediately.

Anyway, like you say, we'll see when it goes through.
