New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Toffeepot]

I do find it slightly odd that neither of the Freidkins have made an appearance yet.
I’m hoping it’s more to do with waiting for the stadium to open officially and making a bit more of a grand entrance to announce a new dawn / fresh start.
Ideally coinciding with a couple of shock marquee signings to really mark their arrival.

Icing on the cake would be Dan Friedkin to appear in a Deadmou5 style papier-mâché head mask of Dave’s profile pic

As long as they don't show up on Talksport. I'd count that as a win

How grand does grand have to be, though?!

I mean, if it's going to impress @davek, it's going to have to be next level 'something else', mate.

Was very strange they didn’t attend the final game at goodison.

I don't think it was. Im thinking they wanted to leave that to us fans and to all the players, past and present. That game would have been slightly over shadowed if they had turned up. They have never been, so have no connection to Goodison at all.

I think they will show their faces at either our pre friendly game against Roma, or the first game of the season. That would be a good way to kick start the Friedkin, era. This is just my opinion

 

[Rich1878]

I also put more money into United Utilities than its owners do, 20 quid a month they just put my bill up by, thats not optional, that annoys me more than anything Everton will ever do.

Anyway Dave, im recovering from some pretty major surgery, so if you want I can tell you why the NHS is on its arse and how we are all screwed if you want?

Hope all is well. Get well soon

No connection? They own goodison and everything in it including the players.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Why do people want them to make an appearance, what does that bring to anyone?

Moshiri made all the appearances before the headlockening, what did that bring us? Kenwrong was there every night making everything toxic as well.

I know that. Im just saying that they might have just felt like leaving it until we move into the new ground

Historically yeah, no connection. They owned Goodison for a few months at the time, taking the spotlight to them would've been incredibly stupid.

People are using an "appearance" as proxy for them actually putting money into the team. When they invest in the playing squad, there will be no calls for them to show up because people will have confidence in them.

Mind you, this is a fanbase that clapped like seals when Kenwright's grid appeared on the jumbotron. Perhaps the seals want to give their flippers a run out at the new gaff.

Yeah maybe, but it's just weird. We want owners who care about expanding/improving the team and not making themselves richer, it appears we have that, and now we don't like them because they don't go the game.

No doubt if they did go the game it'd be something else anyway

Or maybe they're staying away personally due to also owning Roma and aren't keeping up appearances on purpose? Didn't they also show themselves around Roma and that soured very quickly, so they just learned a lesson there and then?

It's just neediness - and raw meat for trolling.

I'm sure they'll arrive in their rocket ship when they have done something to merit a hero's welcome. A good summer transfer window and a new stadium opening would appear to be the perfect moment...

It genuinely wouldn't even register with me if they didnt turn up to a home semi final in the Champions League.

It has absolute zero effect on their commitment to he club or willingness to invest and improve.

Ive worked with the same vigour and intensity for my new employers as I have in all my previous years of employment. I have been here 12 months and haven't visited the office yet. Nobody is arsed so long as I'm delivering.

 

[jazzy]

We had the worst imaginable owner "who showed he cared " by going to every home match.

Now we don't have owners that go to the game but have put the club on a sound financial footing and appear to be running the club professionally.

I know which I prefer.

Recover well, mate...

I hope all's going good, Goat, and you can start breathing a sigh of relief. Remember:

I don't know, bud... Maybe for some lads, Dan is like the magical pixie fairies of Bubblegum Forest, until you actually physically see him here, it's like he doesn't exist?

I'm just spitballing here, trying to look for some logical answers.

Exactly. I'm working from home since 2020. Nobody sees me - unless I pay the odd visit to the office. But everyone sees my output...
