New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[BackRow PE6]

Nope he hasn’t.

According to AI this is his AS Roma attendance record.

• August 14, 2021: Roma vs. Raja Casablanca (friendly) – His first match with fans present after the takeover.


• September 2021: At least one early-season Serie A or Conference League game (e.g., during Roma’s perfect start under José Mourinho, where he was publicly acknowledged by fans).


• May 25, 2022: Europa Conference League final (Roma vs. Feyenoord) – He attended Roma’s victory in Tirana.


• January 2024: Roma vs. Hellas Verona at the Olimpico.


• September 2024: At least one Serie A match (his last reported attendance before a noted absence through late 2024).

If I had the chance to go to Rome regularly you can guarantee I would. We love town but can’t see Friedkin staying in the shankly and getting his kicks in concert square

Indeed! We have lost a couple of games so we have gone back to throwing a wobbler because they don't own a flat in Norris Green, and they aren't seen propping up the bar at the Blob Shop every Friday night

I’m sure I saw someone who looks like him singing magnificent men in their flying machines in smokies

Honestly think not attending a few games by now is very poor tbh. They missed Goodison Park altogether. And they should have been at the first game in the new stadium.

I think it's pretty strange he hasn't attended yet. Considering they are new owners and we were leaving one stadium to go to a new one. You expect ownership to be there at those sort of things.

Overall I dont see much of a plan or much ambition from them. Talk of transition and building sustainably and that sort of thing is just meaningless words. You have to hit the ground running and last summer was a total failure. The manager doesn't have a squad to get through a long season and results have deteriorated rapidly.

I want to see urgency and a positive vision. I'm not sure where having a really small unbalanced squad fits into that.

Accepting that they so have to show that they can deliver success, or at least try to, and accepting that will take longer than they have been in place, they have done a fair bit already: sorted the debt, pumped equity in, didn’t sell Branthwaite, stumped up for transfers, built a large executive, kept Goodison. Tells me they want to set up for success.

On the down side; dividend to shareholders, stadium pricing and not showing up.

On balance, I see that they do mean business but I do think they want to achieve by building sustainably rather than doing a moshiri and buying anything that moves

Keeping Goodison was the cheaper option than what was initially proposed.

 

[jceverton]

Even tried to get Bale when he was primed as a left back at Southampton.

Yeah but would he have played him!

 

[jceverton]

This is not at Everton by the way. They are in Rome to sort out the transfer dealing there.

Surprised, nope!

Yep it was actually dearer to knock it down and then do something with the site.

I pretty much see zero ambition from them, then we have the removal of £43 million from the club's money to them at Christmas. If you were really ambitious why would you appoint Moyes and give him control of transfers. We'll see how ambitious they are in the summer. I'm not holding my breath.

Yep, very strange to not have attended a single game.

I do understand Roma being their favourite toy and a priority, but to not show your face even once here despite two huge milestones for the club is crap.

What’s that about the 43 mill mate ?
