Europe Thread 25/26

[rigg]

We're not qualifying anyway. Moot point.

 

[davek]

We may forget about Europe this season
It’s not going to happen
Can’t see us beating City
Might beat Sunderland
Might get a draw at Palace
Spurs will be fighting for their lives last game while our lads are on the beach

Said the other day that 4 points is top whack for us now.

The damning thing about that is that it'll be - if we get them - 3 points more than Dyche got us in his one and only full season.

It'll be a shocking return on the cash spent, the stadium opportunity and the stability of new ownership.

It's no wonder Moyes doesn't want to talk about Europe now.

The link between Everton and Roma is not too well known, but it could yet be the most compelling story.

The Toffees are 11th in the Premier League, but only three points off sixth. As it stands, sixth earns Europa League football.

In Serie A, Roma are level on points with fifth-placed Como, which would also come with a spot in the Europa League.

The two clubs are owned by the Friedkin Group through subsidiary entities.

Everton are controlled by Roundhouse Capital Holdings Limited, and Roma under Romulus and Remus Investments.

The two people with significant control in Roundhouse Capital Holdings are Analaura Moreira-Dunkel and Marcus Watts - high-ranking officials in the Friedkin Group.

They are also on the Everton board and were associated with Roma in the years immediately after the takeover but no longer have an identifiable role at the Italian club.

Everton's issue could be that US billionaire Dan Friedkin is both their chairman and president of Roma.

Friedkin is also the 'person of significant control' at Pursuit Sports UK, an umbrella group for sports operations.

Uefa's definition of "control", "decisive influence" and "shared decision-making" is broad.

Everton will have to prove there is no risk or appearance of involvement by Friedkin in both clubs.

Palace argued that John Textor had no such say at Selhurst Park, but Cas agreed with Uefa that he had a role in several transfers and appointments.

Everton are confident that they have a solution, but are not saying what that is.

Whether that is a case of playing their cards close to their chest or not, only time will tell.

The club have ruled out a blind trust, the route Nottingham Forest appear to have chosen.

If the CFCB does need to make a decision, the ownership structure and Friedkin's presence on both boards would be looked at

Moyes must have been told this which is why he's trying so hard not to get us into Europe.

Took Dyche’s team, added Grealish and KDH to it, returned a handful more points.

Weird how playing all the same players in the same way has yielded similar results

Just don’t mention the 100 mill plus to achieve similar.

“Everton are confident that they have a solution, but are not saying what that is.”

And that solution is quite simply.. not qualifying for Europe.

….thats not a ‘solution’ that’s a possible outcome.

 

[NathDogg]

Can’t see us picking up more than 6 points at best, don’t think those around us are going to drop to many, hope I’m wrong like!

Gutted about the last two results and the momentum they’ve taken out of us.

However, it’s Still on if the manager and players give crap enough, maybe the Roma-EFC ownership thing is in play?

 

[helpimonfire]

Why would anyone assume we will get Europe after seeing recent VAR decisions against us. It will not happen as they will not allow it to happen.

 

[Davideeyore]

Of course it's not over, need Man U to win tonight to keep it tight. I just feel like we've blown it. Palace and Sunderland might be a good chance of 2 wins need to see where we are after next Monday

It's over the last 3 games has finished it, 1 point when it should of been 5 or 6.

 

[Nobby Nobbs]

If you’re not watching the CL game PSG BYN I suggest you put it on magnificent game.

 

[D. Amokachi]

I imagine Chelsea’s form will pick up now LinkedIn Liam is gone and they will get 6th. That leaves 7th as a coin toss between 5 teams. I wouldn’t write us off quite yet - Palace and Sunderland basically have nothing to play for, and Spurs are so hapless.

Yep, it was in our hands as we played the two teams immediately above us in the table and one in a relegation battle.

 

[Marc bolan]

I think palace should be a give me , with them in the semi-final of the conference cup ?

how many times have we written ourselves off for europe, we are playing better, so still there for the taking
