New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Brisan123]

My extremely detailed analysis of the accounts is that everything is basically fine.

Have we got 100 million to spend in the summer plus sales of course
Ndiaye , Branthwaite Garner etc

Angus performing as expected...extracting the maximum he can from the fans, stadium to maximise TFG profits/investment...shame they dont have the same approach of excellence with regards to the squad/recruitment.

I doubt TFG has had any hand in squad building.

If you won't explain the 10% rise in Season tickets at least show us this letter you sent to Masters and the PL.

If it's full of contempt for them I think it will soften the blow.

The price increase barely pays Jack's wages for a month, let alone buys a new player. That's what is so annoying - the big money comes from TV, there's absolutely no reason to mess with the fanbase for less than £2m a year uplift.

Spot on. Charge separately/ more for Europe games - so fans get to choose what they're paying extra for...

Hiking tickets before we're even in Europe feels like an outright advertisement for the lack of confidence getting there...

Oh but we're in 8 th in April so Moyes gets his extension and TFG start cashing in early.

Not sure about this.

To this point the owners are adopting the rancid policy of 'Never apologise, never explain'.

I wouldn't argue with the AI overview of this policy:

'The strategy is often considered outdated, especially in a modern media environment. It can be seen as arrogant or harmful, as it prevents correcting misconceptions.'

These interlopers should take note. Abandon this Trumpian approach or you'll have your arses handed to you by the battle hardened fanbase of a Scouse club.

Few tweets out there today concerning the breakdown on figures on Roundhouse Capital. I'm no accountant but they got this club for a steal.

If that were the case, there would have been other qualified buyers lined up.

He's right that it was a steal but it also came with having to pay off substantial debt obligations for a company that might not have been able to generate the revenue to pay it had we been relegated.

There was a large amount of risk in the acquisition that while they got a deal on the price that the club would be worth a lot less if we had been relegated.

Jake-you say it's a steal, then list a bunch of reasons it wasn't.

Certainly TFG's ability to finance the sale, stadium, and ongoing operations helps the club tremendously. But that should be expected of any well-qualified buyer, which there were none others interested.

They did

Like Liverpools owners
What was it an 'Epic swindle'

Lets hope these are as good as theirs.

I'd prefer that these owners cleared their throats and handed Everton supporters they just ripped off an explanation for doing so.

Doesnt look rosy on that though does it? Ripping off fans for a few quid while boasting about mega earth shattering commercial deals.

They sound like a load of money grabbing scum to me.

Maybe Anus Kinnear will reveal all about the 'rationale' behind their decision to rip off the most loyal of the Everton fanbase later today...

Maybe they just want to maximise the cash inflow at every opportunity to push the club where we want it to be.

Ive not seen any evidence of them milking the club like the Glazer's.
If that happens I'm sure there'd be a serious backlash.

And just to be clear i think the price hike is over the top in the current climate.
