Yanks over the park don’t turn up unless there’s a trophy or photo opportunity on offer

Life's been much better since they came in. I will take that after the brutality of the last few years.

I would say there was a fairly substantial photo op available today.

Yank Tories struggle with the concept of a building being almost as old as their fourth Reich.

Kenwright was at every game and that went well...will take cold hearted business decisions

He was a joke of a Chairman - end of -

But for you you it's okay if real supporters stand outside while people who probably wouldn't know the score of the last home game take seats that they could have had...

I've been going for over 50yrs and I'd happily stand outside for Walter Smith's widow to take my seat and represent him.

Hope this helps you get over it.

There was no need at all for them to have been there yesterday. They don't need their names associated with a horrible season and painful period for the club when we were at risk of folding. In fact, I'm happy they didn't want to take the attention away from simply the fans, the players and the stadium - it was beautiful.

New season, new ground, new future under new owners. They'll be seen during pre-season and definitely at the first game. As long as they do their best work in the background that's perfect.

I’ll stick to evaluating the owners on the decisions they make that affect the team such as stabilising our finances, bringing in Moyes, Alcaraz, and this summer. Their attendance at matches, even this one, isn’t all that relevant. Owners at matches can be a distraction, too

I wish they would stabilize my finances

According to the Athletic "members of the Friedkin family" were at the match.

But tbh, I don't mind them staying quiet while this season is ongoing. The next one in the new stadium and with an obligatory new-looking team will be the time I imagine they want to be associated with.

 

[Blue Smoke]

Perfectly feasible that they wanted to stay in the shadows and let the club celebrate in their own way with their fans and legends saying goodbye to the stadium.

Has Dan Friedkin attended any games at Roma recently / within the last year?

Ryan Friedkin has no role at Everton so I guess he won't be attending any games here.

It will be a bit odd if Dan can't find the time to attend first home game in August/September, but if we've had a good window by then that's what really matters. He should want to be there for that though.

I thought same yesterday...if they'd have rocked up the spot light would have been on them and you'd have had people accusing them of stealing the thunder.

 

[TrailerTrash]

Could not care less if they attend.

Moshiri attended, Bill attended.

I want on field to improve, not owners bums on seats.

It looks like they are treating us as a business without emotional attachment.
I prefer that after the last 30 odd years.
If they want their business to succeed we will have to flourish on the pitch.

For the first time in 35 years, we will be able to judge our custodians on what they DO - not on what sweet, sentimental nostalgia and poor-man piety they whisper seductively into our ears.
