Seen this the other day.

It meant Watts and other bottom feeders of TFG.

Is this really all there is on offer now as way of excuse for this lot not having turned up at the club?

The excuses are multiplying the more conspicuous their absence gets.

I’m not that bothered that those at the top have kept a low profile so far.

More worrying is the lack of activity in the transfer market. Other than a speculative bid for Delap, it’s been underwhelming.

Yes it’s early in the window but we can’t afford to leave it too late otherwise the start of the season will suffer (as we’ve seen in previous years).

We quite literally cant afford it....until July 1st. This isnt even a real window, it was made up so the big clubs can grab a few players.
 
The only people I am interested in seeing or hearing from the club is the Executive which essentially is the CEO and from time to time other board members, as they direct everything. Occasionally comms from owner is fine but it’s not essential to the successful running of a football club. The Friedkins are not boyhood blues.

Not too sure why people are taking exception to Dave pointing out it’s weird they haven’t been to watch us etc.

It is strange.

Lots of transfer talk without very little movement given what is needed they best know what they’re doing.

We will soon see.

The window technically isn’t open properly till the 16th, it’s only had this 10 day one so that City and Chelsea could bulk their squads out for the World Cup starting next week

It’s a little unusual, sure.

I just don’t think it’s worth all the pearl clutching.
 
Currently Everton has at least the guise of operational independence from Roma by having Roundhouse as the legal entity whereas Roma is directly TFG.

Maintaining a little distance may make it easier to avoid a Crystal Palace situation in the future.

Not if Forest`s owner starts shouting about it.

It`ll be interesting when we get to qualifying for Europe and there is the potential for a clash with us and Roma for a place in the CL or EL, which club will TFG prioritize.
 
Lina Souloukou, Forests CEO, will probably have involvement in this whilst not being the driver of it.

Would be interesting to hear her views on multi-club ownership given she was Friedkins CEO at Roma.
