New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[GoldenToffee]

It is time to sell the women’s team to their sister company.

Goodison too, should be an easy 500 million total for both. Literally just transferring money from one account to another.

We should buy Finch Farm with the proceeds from those sales, and then sell the ladies training area to them for double, just to really take the mickey out of the PSR rules.

I genuinely hate Chelsea but you have to doff your cap how they have blatantly abused loopholes over the years, before it could have any impact on them. Used to send out around 40 players on loan for yearrrrrs, 8 yr contracts to circumnavigate PSR, selling lemonade items for champagne money such their hotel/women’s team. I’m sure they will find new loopholes to abuse before the prem clamp down. It’s savvy financial management, unlike us who have left ourselves wide open to the Bonnie Blue treatment from Richard Masters & co.

I know we joke/meme and all that, but genuinely, why haven’t we sold Goodison for hundreds of millions to a Friedkin owned company?

“had” we won’t know more

Good example is how the idiots running the circus didn't know where to put costs associated to the stadium one year which I think lead to the points deductions since they could not be exempted from the PSR calculations.

Not trying to be a misery guts, but it really isn’t that inconceivable.

6 English teams in the Champions League next season. Nearly half the premier league is in Europe next season.

It’s an issue they need to look into. If either us or Roma were denied entry into a European competition on the grounds of duel ownership, the fume would be off the scale.

It might even lead to fighting.

Read in the last few days that this Chelsea transaction has been brought up by UEFA, and being investigated, now that they have qualified for next seasons UEFAs comps.

I think its because we try our best to stay within the rules rather than bend the rules like Chelsea, or just ignore the rules like City. We spoke to the PL to give us help to stay within PSR limits instead of keeping quite about it like City did.

Being brought up by UEFA, being investigated by UEFA, then being swept under the carpet by UEFA.

We lost out on Europe before because they had a rule about only one club from a city could be in Europe each season. That might have been because games were all played on a Wednesday night. Not a problem now because the games are spread between Tuesday and Thursday due to tv demand, so the tv companies are good for something.

Uefa have absolutely no jurisdiction over us currently. At worst we'd get a whopper of a fine or a 1 year ban. That's a worthwhile sacrifice for PL stability

Some interesting bits from this.

Said gentlemen doesn't expect to many incoming before the end of the month purely down to PSR.

Makes sense.

Year ending 30th June 2025 was always going to be tight with negligible extra income from BMD.

I expect to see an increase in transfer activity from July onwards.

Sell the ladies team internally and rent them use of Finch Farm for £2m pa, which was our annual rent before we sold it to LCC.
