New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[davek]

Here’s Kenwright as recently as May 2014 continuing to cripple the club, just the 5 whole years after he was chased out apparently.

Post in thread 'The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)'

May 13, 2014

The mobsters who own Everton are laughing at the moment. They know they can hand over some of the cash coming in from player sales (the last two under Martinez plus the player sales this summer...and there WILL be player sales) and put the increase in tv revenue toward God knows where else (I've given up guessing the destination of that incoming cash now), and know they can spin it all as 'backing Roberto'.

The 5th place allows them to spin some fairy tale that you can succeed without significant activity in the transfer market or the need for a new owner to compete.

It's a crying...

Bill was the biggest mobster out the lot.

Especially when you consider he ultimately sold the club to a de facto oligarch and had the club in bed with shadowy finances vehicles such as Rights and media.

Chased out in 2009 apparently. Green and Earl sold the club to Moshiri and kept Kenwright on for no reason at all.

Well we all know that's nonsense.

@4737carlin can you shed any light on this?

Kenwright wasn't a gangster. He was an arrogant selfish fool who'd sell the club down the road to stay involved in it and to maintain his public profile with his other businesses in mind, and for personal ego-driven reasons.

Career progression?

Not if it is “up” to a position you are unqualified for. That’s a recipe for career extinction.

So is Dave saying he would rather Kenwright was in charge than our current owners? This is a turn up for the books.

Pretty much the same as shifting from " Moshiri is a carpet bagging devil " to " Moshiri is the saviour of the club ".

Parody account.

A parody is a creative work—in literature, music, film, or art—that imitates the style of a specific person, author, or well-known work in an exaggerated, humorous, or ironic way

None of it is exaggerated, humorous or ironic.

I'll await their response (or lack thereof) with bated breath.

Has he gone off the state ownership head choppers already ?

Their silence and lack of visuals at BM speaks a thousand words.

Our neighbours hate their owners but they turn up and front stuff. They know they’re invested in the club.

I truly only see these as vultures who don’t care about us, or making us great again.

I don't think vultures is fair, that was Phillip Green. These guys are venture capitalists, they saw an opportunity to buy a Premier League club for a fair price and took it. They may well sign some good commercial deals and then sell all or part of the club, but as long as we're moving in the right direction that's fine.
