New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Nymzee]

It's a point made by davek often, so it's obviously nonsense.
Feels like Kenwright nostalgia.

I would love it if a Friedkin rep had been to every home and away game this year just no one had noticed.

What difference does this tangibly make to them being our owners? Are we just feeling insecure and not loved enough or something?

I’ll happily admit yes, I am insecure about the thought that the football club’s owners don’t care about the football club.

So if they visit the stadium once, they care, if they don't, they don't care? Interesting. I haven't been to the new stadium yet, maybe I don't care either.

I think most are just a little bit annoyed because they have visited their other team quite a bit. The advantage that the other team has is that they happen to be situated in Rome, one of the most beautiful and desirable cities in the world. Visiting Rome a few times a year is, unfortunately, a lot more sexy as a business trip than getting battered by rain in North West England

I don’t think it’s crazy to expect owners, who have put up hundreds of millions of pounds to turn up to a game occasionally.

Seems like a bit of a hit piece on TFG that by the Echo.

Everyone knows that you can only get your top targets in the second half of the 31st August.

FTFY

Interesting that, 18 months they have been here ? they give Bill and co a long time period of leniency for the most part.

If the Freidkins went on Talksport and said "howdy Jim!" Would that make it up? Cos that seems to be how they're being judged right now.

I'd like some sort of statement laying out some sort of plan for the club, or at the very least some indication as to what their ambitions are for the club in the medium term. So far we just have bland platitudes like "we have big ambitions for the club" or "onwards and upwards". I suspect we haven't had one because the summit of their ambitions is staying in the league and sweating the asset (the stadium mainly) and that wouldn't go over too well if they said that out loud. But who knows? They're basically a mystery.

I think i will be changing my vote on this one if Moyes is still in charge at the start of next season.

My vote has been "unsure" since they arrived but this summer will make me get off the fence one way or the other. They really haven't impressed up to this point, however.

I think it’s crazy you acknowledge they’ve put up hundreds of millions of pounds into the club and yet are butt hurt they haven’t rocked up to a game.

Do you see how Tottenham were getting slated by the media for their season? When was that same level of scrutiny applied to us for the dross we’ve been served up?

That says everything about how low expectations have fallen for this once great club.

The way our incredible fans continue to stand by Everton through thick and thin should be a clear message to the owners: the potential for something great is still here.

The worry is whether they truly understand that.

In the end, older generations like mine may have to come to terms with the painful thought that we may never see our club win anything again. That hurts, because the damage done to this club has been enormous.

I am feeling so low about our club right now, I had high expectations for these guys, but I honestly now think they don’t give a crap.

Someone hold @davek

Apparently we're rubbish because Moyes doen;t get phone calls of the absentee owners.

The Echo Moyes fluffers in rearguard defensive action for the dinosaur.
