New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

He got a little black book full of players and contacts apparently...Am in.


If you think this fella is going to come in and start cooking the books under the noses of TFG, especially after the financial strife we've just been through you'd probably be very wide of the mark.

He is corrupt .
Would prefer he had nothing to do with us personally.
Wouldn’t trust him as far as I could spit into gale force wind.
Should have been permanently banned from any further involvement in the sport .

…..I’d be interested in his record of identifying and acquiring footballers.

Ronaldo was one of the worst signings in Juventus history.

Pretty much ended their total domination of Series A.

If you're looking through those players he's bought it's about as impressive as Everton during the Koeman period.

He ballsed up you're right but I'd be prepared to give him a chance.

I'd love to see how far you could spit into gale force wind by the way.

No distance at all.
Which aptly reflects the amount of trust I would place in this character.

….if the information is true, then it at least indicates TFG might want a new DoF from the outset.

You have as much trust in this person as I have in Evri delivering any of my parcels which is non existent

Paratici was considered the best Italian DoF before the ban, a ban that should be over in 2026 If I remember correctly. He's a great DoF. Until 2026 he cannot hold an official position in any club affiliated to FIFA and that's why he's - or should be if the rumors are correct - just a Friedkin advisor currently.

As for the ban, I think he paid for his company. He was clearly instructed to do certain things by the top management. You don't adjust the books creatively in a club like Juventus without assent by the ownership and financial sector of the club.

There was something the other day that was suggesting it was over in June of 2025.

O'Brien only cost €14.3mil / £12mil

A club statement said: “Olympique Lyonnais announces the transfer of its Irish international defender Jake O'Brien to the English club Everton. The transfer fee is €19.5 million, to which a 10% interest on the capital gain of a possible transfer may be added.

Everton head of recruitment Dan Purdy is in talks to join PSV Eindhoven, sources have told Football Insider.

The Toffees’ former sporting director Marcel Brands heads up the PSV recruitment operation and is now working on a deal to lure Purdy to the Netherlands.

Purdy snakey of Brands, am I right?

Poor little Rossy. The amount of posts he will have to delete in a month or so. Bless him.

Players he signed at Juventus from one site:
Ramsey
Rabiot
Buffon
Demiral
De Ligt
Kulusevski
Danilo
Arthur
McKennie

Heres another but i think it includes his time in other roles: https://m.allfootballapp.com/news/E...Juventus-as-he-prepares-to-join-Spurs/2624747

Looks really hit and miss (mostly miss) to me, bearing in mind he was at Italy's top club.

At Spurs mostly poor signings:

Hit or Miss: Every transfer Tottenham made under Fabio Paratici

How did the Italian fare in north London.

Doesnt thrill me with excitement at all.


Spurs business last summer looks far better to me: https://www.transfermarkt.com/tottenham-hotspur/transfers/verein/148


Im concerned.
