New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Brett Angell Delight]

£600M to buy a club they'll sell in a few years time for a massive profit....and they've renegotiated the terms on which debt will be repaid by the club (AKA as 'the fans')?

Yeah, real benefactors.

They're practically bankrupting themselves.


It'll never cease to amaze me the level of serfdom some of our fans will descend to.

They’ve restructured debt we already had, to ease PSR concerns and improve cash flow. In your scenario, they’ll have added massive value to the business within a few years. You’re so desperate to yell at clouds you’re kind of forgetting to make a compelling case for them being bad guys.

Or is the demonic bit that - GASP - they’re gonna make fans PAY for tickets and merchandise, in order that the club can meet its financial obligations? The same way that every football club has always done? Hanging’s too good, if you ask me…

Hold those thoughts and see what happens this summer.


They're here to exploit; to take loads of cash not spend loads of cash.

God you are so predictably boring.

Or is it boringly predictable.

Either way you have way too much time on your hands and really should find a proper hobby other than this David.

Take loads of what cash hahahaha, the clubs
Barely makes any bloody money. And even if it did, isn’t that the aim of owning a business. Do you think these business men buy premier league clubs for a laugh.

Absolutely no evidence of the Friedkin Group spending any cash. My god what a genuis. Hang on, what is this I found after a 2 second google

If their first signing is Jack Harrison I think you will all be owing that Dave character an apology.

Hello Toffees this is our ambition you’re used to this so you’ll accept it, goodnight.

Once again, Davide: We have very little cash. If they end up taking cash it’s because we’ve made so much of it that we have some to spare.

Now, of course I’d rather every penny be reinvested but I’m not naive. If our financial position becomes that healthy, they’ll have done alright by me.

 

[Marius57]

I'm not writing them off at all.

My only point is that they're like the Scarlett Pimpernel at this club. Nowhere to be seen.

I find it insulting. But maybe that's just me and I have too much pride in allowing our club to be demoted to the role of red headed step child to Roma's blue eyed child.

The scarlet pimpernel was viewed as a hero. So obviously you view the friedkins having saved us.

Thank you Friedkins!

 

[COYBL25]

We're getting 'sister club' Roma's second hand jarg analytics.

*punches the air*

This transfer window's going to be a bloodbath.

I`ve saved this latest pearl of wisdom from you and fully intend to vault you with it over and over again, during the course of the Summer.

You also need to seek help, as your fixation on both Moyes and the Friedkins is just down right weird and also quite disturbing too.

@davek you’ll be clearing up come August 31st.

Depends how they view us…

 

[Infernus]

Depends how they view us…

Absolutely agree. But the premier league is the most golden and most goose shaped of golden geese. If they don't at least invest in us the same as they have Roma, that would be idiotic if they hope to gain any return on their rather large investment.

So they've sold us already Nostradamus, who knew .. again baseless argument for the sake of it.
