Europe Thread 25/26

We were potentially two points off Champions League literally less than 1 week ago dreaming of beating our rivals.

We're now 11 points behind them and probably looking to finish 'top of the bottom half' instead.

Quite the achievement to be talking about it considering this is how you rate our squad literally 2 minutes ago in another thread you absolute blimp.

He and Dewsbury-Hall have carried Everton this season and we'd probably have been relegated without them.
 
At this stage of this season you don't want to be chasing especially when Man City is your next game. Still think it'll be close but looking more and more like we miss out by the odd win.
 
The link between Everton and Roma is not too well known, but it could yet be the most compelling story.

The Toffees are 11th in the Premier League, but only three points off sixth. As it stands, sixth earns Europa League football.

In Serie A, Roma are level on points with fifth-placed Como, which would also come with a spot in the Europa League.

The two clubs are owned by the Friedkin Group through subsidiary entities.

Everton are controlled by Roundhouse Capital Holdings Limited, and Roma under Romulus and Remus Investments.

The two people with significant control in Roundhouse Capital Holdings are Analaura Moreira-Dunkel and Marcus Watts - high-ranking officials in the Friedkin Group.

They are also on the Everton board and were associated with Roma in the years immediately after the takeover but no longer have an identifiable role at the Italian club.

Everton's issue could be that US billionaire Dan Friedkin is both their chairman and president of Roma.

Friedkin is also the 'person of significant control' at Pursuit Sports UK, an umbrella group for sports operations.

Uefa's definition of "control", "decisive influence" and "shared decision-making" is broad.

Everton will have to prove there is no risk or appearance of involvement by Friedkin in both clubs.

Palace argued that John Textor had no such say at Selhurst Park, but Cas agreed with Uefa that he had a role in several transfers and appointments.

Everton are confident that they have a solution, but are not saying what that is.

Whether that is a case of playing their cards close to their chest or not, only time will tell.

The club have ruled out a blind trust, the route Nottingham Forest appear to have chosen.

If the CFCB does need to make a decision, the ownership structure and Friedkin's presence on both boards would be looked at
 
We’re not getting it, we’ll be the ones just outside, as predicted. We’ve had numerous opportunities this season and failed to take a single one of them meanwhile other teams will walk through the door that was absolutely gaping this season.
 
We may forget about Europe this season
It’s not going to happen
Can’t see us beating City
Might beat Sunderland
Might get a draw at Palace
Spurs will be fighting for their lives last game while our lads are on the beach
