New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[MikeH72]

Being miserable all your life is worse than being happy most of it and then made to feel moderate occassionally

But isn’t being realistic better than both? Surely that will make you happier long term, to be living in the real world.

Fake news. Yosemite Sam is a Left Coast Liberal.

Need this fella's take on these Texan's.

Bit of an extreme take that. Easy enough to be realistic and optimistic - one doesn’t negate the other.

The last four years made it very difficult to remain optimistic to be fair though

Easiest time to be optimistic really. Because I always knew that at some point in my life time, both Moshiri and Dyche would be gone from the club.

So at some point, things had to get better. It was inevitable.

Could easily have gone the wrong way so many times. And very nearly did.

He has crossed the Atlantic and he's well known... if you follow/know basketball.

LeBron/MJ/Shaq he's definitely not, but Americans I'd wager mostly know him - he's in the NBA hall of fame and had a pretty impressive career as a player, and a pretty meme career as a coach so far. It seems to be on all the American sports outlets/sites, even more so the Texas/Dallas ones - as I mentioned, I'm a Mavericks supporter and this is all over the news. It's decent exposure in a rather big "market", as it will generate interest, but even then everyone's just mentioning it and asking the same as us - "but why?"

I assume he's a 1% "investor" or something similar with no power over anything obviously. I also assume we'll see a lot of Dallas Mavericks cross-marketing in the near future.

I’m now officially a Mavericks fan

What has happened to him? He’s been pretty quiet lately

 

[West Side Charlie]

Never heard the term 'Ownership group' until this week. Just wonder what they'll all do.

The Christmas party will be ace though.

Yeah, all dressed as village people singing YMCA

He has

Liked a bit of Astro me.

Jason Kidd was one of my fav basketball players back when I actually watched the sport regularly. Quite cool he’s now involved with Everton… even if it is just to make money out of us

 

[Billy Liar]

Evertonians are terrified of change.

Some Blues are still under the hypnotic trance of Bill's technicolour dream coat.

Any dream will do.

Nothing new here, but still nice to see us get coverage in Forbes

Jason Kidd Joins Everton Ownership Group Increasing American Influence

The basketball legend has joined the soccer ownership trend, investing in an English Premier League side, Everton, that is looking to a future in a new stadium.

Not sure about the headline mind, adding an American to an American ownership team doesn’t increase American influence.
Standards really are slipping these days.
