New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[GrandOldTeam]

Who in their right mind is paying £3k to watch a meaningless PL game ?

They had a lightbulb moment with Thierno Barry.

"Here you go fella, these packages for your friends"

Isn't Louis Saha a billionaire? Why is he on the corporate bandwagon with Hibbo and Ossie? Could have given it to a real legend like Tony Thomas.

 

[Lanolin]

I find it very odd, almost disrespectful to the game.
If you are taking away general matchday fans seats to sell an experience while the season is still ongoing, don't like that.

The club always have extra tickets for away games that don't go on general sale. I'm not saying I'm a big fan of what they're doing, but the idea that they're stopping fans who would otherwise be able to go from doing it just isn't really true, it'll be tickets that would otherwise be given as freebies to corporate clients and 'celebrity' fans etc that they've decided they can sell instead.

FAB need to push back on the pricing for the Cote d'Azur trip.

'10K IS PLENTY' has a nice ring to it.

Shame on Tony Hibbert, btw.

Huyton lad getting his snout in that corporate trough.

He's come a long way from having a pint in St Ally's social club with his mates. Too far away.

 

[Bally1989]

They've employed an army of stewards to make sure the commercial squeeze operation is run to best effect every home game.

They remind me of the army of coppers who descended on pit towns during the 84/85 Miners Strike.

There's trouble brewing at this club...BIG 'KIN TROUBLE.

Yeah there is a slight underlying tension at this club that won’t go away until we are convinced on our owners and direction of the club.

Still not had anyone tell me what their plans are for the club, how don't we know this?

Still strange, but I suppose that is possibly where it's heading.
Is it just a tester for future increase into these kind of things

 

[COYBL25]

Genuinely want to know who the target market for that is.

Drug dealers, gangsters and knobhead influencers ?

The more you look at that the madder it reads , I know a few people who regularly use hospitality for games but also lots of other events and I can’t imagine one of them being remotely interested in that .

The stadium needs Evertonising; the owners are anonymous; meh first season; and they're determined to exploit the fanbase without even the courtesy of an explanation.

Maybe someone with half a clue should start advising these used car salesman chumps that our fanbase has seen off a few regimes and they might want to start getting their 'kin heads in the room and start listening to them?

It'll kick off here at this club. 100% it will.

Quite possibly yes. I've said before, when people talk about the club needing to improve the corporate side of things and make more money etc, this is how they do it. I'm not saying I like it, but I understand how it works. There are a lot of people who seem to think the club should improve their commercial performance and increase revenue streams but not in a way that impacts them at all and not in a way that they believe is in any way morally ambiguous. Unfortunately in the real world that just isn't how these things work.

Off the official site, the regular away fans getting squeezed out for this corporate jolly, disgraceful

"Right see you later, we're going into the spurs hospitality with Reidy and Sharpy, you're in the away end. We'll let you know somewhere we can pick you up on the coach back, try and find somewhere far out so we can stop".

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Drug dealers, gangsters and knobhead influencers ?

Forum owners?

 

[Daytripper]

Wouldn’t drink with them for free never mind pay for the privilege (I am sure they would be arsed about that….)

I doubt our fanbase would see anyone off. We endured Kenwright for 25 years and clapped him like seals when he appeared on the jumbotron: "One of us, a true bloo".

He still had his defenders - particularly "Evertonians" in the media" - when he slandered the entire support in Headlock-gate.

Nah, we get what we deserve.

One way or the other we'll see the true colours of these Americans in the summer. But prepare to be underwhelmed by the fanbase if a little resistance is required. Many of them are more worried about climbing the stairs in the stands and the availability of donuts than the team's fortunes on or off the pitch.
