New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Timbucktoo]

The other Premier League managers will be salivating at the chance to sell their surplus stock to Moyes.

And the next man in the door will be starting from scratch again trying to clear out that dead wood before trying to build a solid team.

If it's anything like West Ham it'll be too late and the finances will be wrecked for the next 5 years.

I'm beginning to not recognise this club now, and it's only partly down to the shift from Goodison.

• new owners that dont want to be here
• day to day control of the club in the hands of those that just view fans as objects to be exploited
• zero feedback on huge price hikes
• long serving players treated as after thoughts

One season into their reign and they've completely alienated me and I doubt I'd be the only one.

Maybe they are just in it for a quick flip.

I hope so. They have uncaring spiv written all over them.

The move from Goodison was the golden opportunity to become New Everton. New owners, new stadium, new vision.

But we might as well still have Bill Kenwright at the tiller. Moyes is here for life, just as his dad intended. Coleman had to be unglued from the stadium gates. Prentice is still furnishing the Echo with pro-Moyes propaganda. Kinnear is rivalling Kenwright in sentimental snakeoil soundbitery. And Everton remain irrelevant.

Bringing back Moyes was the flaming red flag that many of us suspected it was at the time. Of all the managers in all the world, they went for the comfortable pair of Y-fronts that they knew - or thought they knew. The culture at Everton hasn't changed. It couldn't given the people that remain.

We'll need these fellas to flip us for our next dollop of hope - and then pray we get lucky.

This is so spot on.

We had the chance to unfreeze recent history with new owners and especially this new stadium, but they've super-glued it even more to an outlook where mediocrity is the ambition.

It's unforgivable.

The difference in terms of outlook from this time last year to now is stark.

Hope has been replaced by resignation.

The reboot that never happened.

This really is the biggest 'Everton that' moment.

I think that will be the aim but I can see it taking a while yet, at least as long as Villa have taken since their owners joined and that’s if they make the right decisions each year.

They need to tell us directly and not via an employee

Wait until we bring in Toney, Wan Bissaka, Soucek and Harry Wilson in the summer

I don't think we'll ever top Russia invading Ukraine and our long-awaited billionaire owner being sanctioned tbh

 

[Rehnman]

To be fair, three of that four would improve us!

And Stones.

By how much? It wasn’t long ago people were justifying signing that belching gremlin Neil Maupay because “he winds defenders up” and “is better than Rondon” . Ironically he ended up winding up Evertonians more than anyone.

That’s largely the problem ha. The players just a rent every good and we keep signing more poor players to join them.
