Marc Watts, Everton’s newly appointed executive chairman, held an informal discussion with manager Brian Sorensen following the Friedkin Group’s takeover of the club on Thursday. Alan McTavish, chief executive of Everton Women, also participated in the meeting, during which Watts underscored the significance of the women’s team. The meeting took place at the training ground. Subsequently, Watts addressed all staff in a wider meeting, where he articulated their future ambitions. A key point Watts raised was his aim to ensure stability and support for the club, referencing the Friedkin Group’s track record with Roma Women. This development occurred on the same day Everton completed the signing of France forward Kelly Gago from Nantes for an undisclosed fee, making her the first recruit under the club’s new ownership.
