New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[MikeH72]

I mean, you could be right, You were right about Moshiri tbf. I think I'll rather be in camp positive at the moment though. New stadium, new owners, new backroom staff, we really should be getting excited of what could be rather than, it's going to be the same but worse Us as fans have been through the mill for what feels like an age.. I'm sick of being negative.

Well he loves Moshiri now, so clearly that was yet another thing he must’ve been wrong about.

I agree with that.

He was a potential carpet bagger Moshiri, but without his dynamism BMD would still be the repository for a number of UXBs.

IMO, he'd get a decent reception if he turned up for a game to the new stadium. In fact, he should be invited to the opening game.

There’s no PSR in women’s football and players are easier and cheaper to get so you can make the progress you want to make much quicker.

For me the ambition they are showing on the women’s side is a positive marker of the ambition they have for the men’s side of things, it’s just that it’ll take a bit more time.

I'm being flippant, Tony. The signs are good... July promises to be very interesting.

I'm ok with going from being the worst run club in football under Kenwright etc to a complete refresh into a more professional operating club, this is currently being built. I expect this makes us more attractive to players, sponsors and investors and more efficient and dynamic in football operations.

I'll be more ok with seeing the same approach to improving the calibre and quality of the football team now.

Ultimately both things pulling together will improve us overall and get the results we deserve

Get the money invested now before the powers that be move the goal posts so that the usual suspects don`t get left behind.

Its the perfect time to go and invest big time to build up the ladies team and make it seriously stand out as the biggest team in Europe in the ladies game. Arsenal are at the top of the game at the moment, and its not too long ago we beat them in the FA cup final at the City ground, before the latest relaunch for the WSL. It was them and us at the time but we didn`t build on their success at the time and became also rans, while splurging cash on transfers and wages on very poor men who achieved nothing more than keeping us up on the final day of the season, having spent the previous 37 games in the season seemingly trying to get us relegated.

Bang on... players and agents aren't daft,they want to know that the club is healthy behind the scenes and that they going to work in modern 21st century environment with good structure.

I believe this one of the reasons over the past few summers we've been losing out to the likes of the Brightons, Forests and Fulham's when it came to signing players.

We've basically been like Billy Smarts Circus.

The appointments of the pitch, couldn’t be more different to the approach under Moshiri when he first took over. He appointed Koeman a world class player, but frankly a bang average manager who only secured the jobs he did because of his name, not his track record. However arguably his biggest fault was keeping on the board individuals who had overseen years of mediocrity and thought they’d change their ways with an injection of money into the club.
Contrast this, to the appointment of Moyes, who knows the club inside out, we needed a period of stability and an uplift in results and he immediately brought that. Of the pitch, they are recruiting people into positions that mirror expertise. Now comes arguably the hardest task, recruiting the right players to get the team moving forward. Something we never did under Moshiri.

It’s one of the reasons. The main reason was the manager and his style of football though - see Elanga

That's what he'll do when he sees them all getting sacked.

I'll assume all this stuff is getting done before the 1st of July for a reason.

To be continued...

What reason is that?

I have a feeling these are going to, or at least considering reverting the crest back to the one 1983-1991.

Based on Roma rolling theirs back to an older logo, a perceived delay on stadium branding (any crests anywhere yet?) and a recent trademark;

Well he loves Moshiri now, so clearly that was yet another thing he must’ve been wrong about.

He hated Moshiri when people were positive about him

He likes Moshiri now that everyone else doesn’t.

Once absolutely everyone turned against Dyche? There was Dave championing him.

It’ll be the same with the Friedkins and Moyes. Against them now, because Moyes is doing well and everyone is enthused about the direction of the club under the Friedkins.

If the general opinion of either of those things change, so will Dave’s opinion.

He’s a parody of himself, falling back on contrarianism, irrespective of reality. Presumably because after 17 years even he’s bored of his act.

Now if he’d just stop clogging up every thread with the repetitive death spasms, that’d be lovely.
