New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[matty1878]

Billionaire John Textor...

All of those clubs will be owned by Ares in due course, I am sure.

I'm no expert in regards to IPOs, but this news is the opposite of helpful.

for who?

 

[matty1878]

Its how we've been conditioned mate.

I fully believe this one is as good as done now,PL probably want rid of Moshiri asap as well to be honest.

for who?

For Lyon.

 

[matty1878]

When you think though isn't this a victory for the big boys, the fat cats. They wanted psr in to protect their positions and their trophies, it seems as if anyone tries to unsurp them....
Btw not sure if Lyon are one of the French fat cats.

If Textor teams end up like 777s i think UEFA and FIFA will clamp down big style on multi club ownership.

From the outside, I think this is different. It's more akin to AC Milan when their Chinese owner defaulted on his loans and Elliot Management took over the club,

Textor doesn't have his own money, but from all accounts he's raised it just like many other businesses.

777 straight up defrauded their creditors from money. The only similarity is that they're both Multi-Club models, that's really it.

He should feel happy he's not tied to that club.

Please please go into specifics. Oh, too late.

I'd admire this guy if he turned out to be an elaborate wum as I bite every. single. time.

Unfortunately he's just a delusional freak.

Anyway, Textor appears to favour Botafogo as the key piece of his group. That's what Lyon fans seem to think anyway.

Everton is the destroyer of Worlds when you think about it.

Everton remind me of chaos theory - like the butterfly that flaps it's wings and starts a storm.

We are the centre of a financial vortex.

Once Moshiri has touched you…

The Jimmy Saville of football

I report it here because I think it might affect Everton too.

In the first press conference of his third term as Roma manager, Claudio Ranieri has announced he will join AS Roma's BoD at the end of the season. He's talked a lot about his meeting with Dan Friedkin in London, saying that they agreed on the necessity to put a football savvy, expert person at the helm of the club (finally!).

Friedkin told him: "I spent a lot of money, but the club hasn't improved as much as I wanted".

Ranieri also said he'll become Friedkin's first football advisor. I believe this will affect Everton too, at least partially.

It seems that the London meeting was attended by Dan and Ryan Friedkin, Claudio Ranieri, Florent Ghisolfi and a fourth person. Many believe this fourth person to be Fabio Paratici, former Juventus DoF. I read on X - please note, these are just rumors - that Paratici, who's currently just a Friedkin advisor, might become Everton DoF.

So Textor gets financially troubled Lyon took take up the option to buy Mangala for $35m from Forest (helping Forest’s PSR situation), who they don’t seem to want, then 6 months later gets Lyon to loan him to us, and according to their accounts there was no loan fee (so helping us fill our squad despite our PSR situation). Lyon, the club he actually owns, then run out of money.

Thanks I guess
