New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[TonyT65]

Most likely change when the new stadium comes though, you'd expect our revenue to increase significantly.

x4 last thing I read (extra income, sponsorship etc) ....not sure how correct that was ?

Treat them like they're another Moshiri.

Look what they've been doing to Roma.

Errrm, turned a club that was heavily in debt into one now making a significant profit, overall decent investment in the squad at the same time, not afraid to fire Mourinho or even De Rossi. Owner not making the hiring and firing decisions but allowing the CEO to do it which is what they're paid for. Won Romas first trophy for nigh on 20 years and their first ever European trophy.

Dave, up until the CEO fired De Rossi after apparently massive fights with several players - the Roma fans had zero but praise for Friedkin, to the extent that nearly everyone of them wanted him to not buy us in case we became his main focus. (Btw there's a rumour that the fight De Rossi and the player went further than just verbal)

I seem to remember a poster said that he might well come back into the mix when he pulled out before. Fair play to whoever it was.
Just needs to come to an end now, enough is enough.

There was quite a few did say that and mentioned he’d done the same at Roma. Hats off to them, I honestly thought it was completely over due to 777 complications.

Took less than a month from bid to finalised purchase as the new owner when he came back in the second time for Roma.

I'd expect we'll take considerably less - took the Roma owner 19 days to accept the offer, deal was ratified and Friedkin installed as the new owner a further 13 days later.

I think this way too.

Most of the spade work would have already been done earlier this year in the Exclusivity period & looks like the stumbling blocks have been resolved . He won't have a problem over the ownership & financial tests being passed , they could even had the nod on these anyway.
Can't come soon enough though.

That was me, was always 100% confident we’d end up back here with Freidkin.

Gives the club an immediate psychological boost this.

The whole 777 was always an excuse, I doubt we ever pay it

 

[bluestevon]

Pretty sure they will cake walk the tests..

From the moment they had exclusivity and access to the books, they were able to start working on the 3 year plan they had to present to the league mate, I'm guessing due to that earlier interest we've saved weeks or more on everything being ready to be presented to the league

The paperwork will be in today or tomorrow. Again the exact same strategy they did at Roma which took less than two weeks to be ratified - and the Italians aren't exactly known to be in a hurry work wise.

Till Dyche subs him for Josh Werner

 

[bluestevon]

Look what happened last time when a meddling owner took charge...and this lot are more of the same.

Dave you plank, Friedkin hasn't meddled whatsoever at Roma, he hired people to make football decisions and let them make them.

 

[Bazlar]

too many

One is too many

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Does this mean you won't be a top bloo unless you drive a Toyota?

Is this part 2/2 of her exclusive or does she have to sit down with Kev again ?
