New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[maccavennie]

Get it approved asap masters, you corrupt little blert.

Him and his corrupt little ferrets can concentrate on getting our deal over the line instead of blagging that they've got every intention of punishing City.

 

[Victus]

Quite excited myself.

The toyota red bull bowl or bramley moore to the locals

Yep .... its right up there with new stadium "never gunna happen". davek is just GOT's restrictor of optimism.
Me...... I'd just rather have a little bit of hope once more

What? Have they started building a new ground? @davek said that the UNESCO red tape would tie it up for years before killing it completely, so never bothered checking after that!

I can’t see them struggling too much for approval

Didn’t they basically already have it last time before they backed out?

I can’t imagine that much has changed since then

If ever a sale could be “waved through” you’d think it would be this one?

 

[Davideeyore]

Just jib Dyche off please.

I think even the pro-Dyche will be fearful now. Writing is on the wall. See Roma as an example.

Joyce reckons it could take up to 8 weeks. Hopefully it'll be shorter than that.

Big Al on SSN right now.

I haven’t gone back through this thread, so apologies if anyone has asked or answered this already.

I’m cautiously optimistic, but what has changed?
The Friedkin Group pulled out a couple of months ago having had their chance to look under the bonnet.

Is it just big business strategy to walk away and come back and get Moshiri to accept a different offer? Was Textor just as patsy to force the Friedkins to come back to the table?

Are we going to find the Premier League take longer to review and approve this one?

Also, presuming this all goes through without a hitch, the new owner is going to find they’re under scrutiny from the get-go by a fan base which has been put through the mill over the last few years by the clubs former custodians.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Do you think they will have started the approval process?

 

[COYBL25]

Its a farce.

Surley no one believes this now.

I'm edging toward the @Goat position that no one is buying us.

These claims are unsustainable and cant possibly be taken seriously anymore.

I mean, how realistic are all these claims? One man 'has exclusivity' and another is 'back in again'.

Pfffft.

Utter bollocks the lot of it.

Someone is quiet on this today ?

Have you missed the last dozen pages mate?

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Someone is quiet on this today ?

Nah, he's just gonna change back to his "I can't believe you'd all accept us playing second fiddle to Roma!" shtick

 

[Lob]

Do you think they will have started the approval process?

Yep, already ongoing i bet and with these guys being very experienced and professional, i think the approval could come quite quickly too.

Premier League have just taken their phone off the hook and put their out-of-office replies on in Outlook
