New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[pfim]

I think there's a lot of guesswork/assumptions to fill content quotas.

My assumption is they knew who'd be CEO once takeover was completed - and it's just a matter of process.

If not, that's a tad concerning. I was critical of Moshiri early days and more so within 1 year when there wasn't sweeping changes at boardroom/exec level. Id be the same with TFG.

Watts' title gives you a clue where the direction of the club will come from in the coming days/weeks/months. Executive Chairman implies he will be heavily involved from the beginning, then likely hand the reins over. By nature the CEO likely comes from outside the TFG group, I actually think it's more important for TFG to have an outsized presence at the beginning, than hand it over to an executive they will be less familiar with.

What experience does he offer apart from stadium development? Genuine question and not being funny.

I think he's done a decent job steadying the ship too.

Your second sentence provides the answer to the first. An executive isn't necessarily the expert in their business, the good ones will hire those people and manage them.

He's a Jack of all Chongs

a Jacktotum.

Along as its not a bootlicker sycophant club like the last regime I will trust friedkins with their boardroom moves

You could bring richy in during January, but he doesn't look he'll be on the pitch till April going by his recent tragic injury woes

Let him stay at spurs. He’s not the answer. Sentimental bs. Injury prone and over priced. Move on.

So would the new CEO/ chairman be choosing who he wants?

Hope we see a signing or two the first week January.

As long as they get it right, that's not too much to ask for.. is it?

Honestly be looking at him for a loan next season, do agree be alot of money and is hard to argue to buy him outright

 

[MisterJ]

All for taking Richy back and think it would be good for both us and him. Not so for Carlo.

I'd rather have Carlo back

 

[MisterJ]

Well they will still have to sort out Goodison and possibly some other developments in the vicinity of BMD

What is the plan for Goodison once we move?

Apartments and shopping area.. there is to be a playground where the centre of the pitch was.. unless things have change since the article I saw.
