Not my words...the words of Forbes magazine.
Love Partridge. Forbes just takes educated guesses from information that is in the public domain. Their estimates are often very signficantly out.

Need to be lodged with Companies House within 9 months of year end. So we'll see them basically end of March plus the few days it usually takes them to upload to publicly accessible portal.

A Closer Look – T. Dan Friedkin
by Transparency USA
10/07/2016
T. Dan Friedkin is the owner and CEO of Gulf States Toyota, the largest private company in Houston. With exclusive rights to sell Toyota vehicles in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas, Mr. Friedkin has expanded upon the business originally built by his father. In 2016, according to Forbes, Mr. Friedkin ranked as the 162nd wealthiest person in the United States. In the most recent 2016 primary election cycle, Mr. Friedkin was the tenth largest donor to political campaigns and PACs in the state of Texas.
In his spare time, Mr. Friedkin flies World War II-era P-51 Mustangs with an aerial acrobatic troupe. Mr. Friedkin, 51, is married with 4 children.
Mr. Friedkin has been active in the Texas political scene dating back to the late 1990s, supporting candidates in both parties, although the vast majority of his contributions go to Republicans.
Here’s an overview of Mr. Friedkin’s giving from the past election cycle:
Key takeaways from Mr. Friedkin’s giving:
At first glance, there appears to be an outlier in Mr. Friedkin’s giving this cycle: a $10,000 gift to a challenger in a State House race halfway across the state from Friedkin’s home district. That challenger was Scott Fisher who unsuccessfully sought to take the seat of State Representative Jonathan Stickland. State Rep. Stickland’s efforts in Austin have drawn the ire of many in the Capitol. Some believe State Rep. Stickland was a top target of House Speaker Joe Straus (another recipient of Mr. Friedkin’s money) and Speaker Straus’ leadership team. In actuality this gift wasn’t an outlier at all, rather, it was more support for the status quo

T. Dan Friedkin – A Closer Look
[/td]Key takeaways from Mr. Friedkin’s giving:
- Close to those in power.
Nearly all those receiving money from Mr. Friedkin were incumbents. Of those incumbents, most were either statewide officials, notably PACs for Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, or powerful members of the Texas Legislature. This trend is common among successful business executives, and often indicates a desire to have access to these elected officials. - Invests heavily in his company’s political action committee.
Mr. Friedkin gave $150,000 to Gulf States Toyota Inc. State PAC, his company’s political action committee. That represents 17.29% of his political giving in Texas. It’s normal for large companies to have PACs which work to elect men and women friendly to a particular business or industry. - Supports the status-quo.
Given his overwhelming support of those in power, it’s clear Mr. Friedkin likes the status quo in Austin. As the owner of auto dealerships, this support isn’t surprising. Many argue auto dealers currently have a monopoly on the auto sales market with massive barriers to entry.

They need to step up over this Chelsea ruling.
A legal case needs to be looked at, I am sick and tired of us being spineless I thought it might end when Kenwright sold to Moshiri but like a lot of things, his damage will be seen for decades and may even not be reversable.

We don't need to wait on the accounts mate, documents were registered with Company House in Dec cleaning up the balance sheet, one of those documents showed the club made a loss of £46.45 million up to June 2025 - last year in Goodison.
Am I dreaming, or has Heinz been available since the stadium opened?
