New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Fonzy]

Never mind me, if there's any Everton fan out there happy or "relaxed" over this long running insult then they need to look at themselves.

All they've done here is to restructure debt payments. Apparently some believe that's good enough.

TFG OUT!!!! Boooo the Texans

TFG OUT!!!! Boooo the Texans

Or maybe they should just show an interest in this club.

It's the weirdest situation I've known at Everton in ownership takeovers.

December 2024 to May 2025, as it will be tomorrow. No sign of them. Roma gets scores of visits from Friedkin and his family. Us = none...and there's a new stadium to see.

At the very least it's odd.

I personally wish they had left the debt as it was. I’ve really enjoyed the club scraping for every penny and being extorted, selling our best player every year and replacing them with poor loans and frees and then getting points deductions. Added some excitement.

Aye, scores of visits

 

[Infernus]

Yeah, all they’ve done is stick 600m in to buy the club, restructure the debt and get the stadium finished.

Oh and brought wealthy investors on board.

Oh and bring stability back through making the right manager choice for what we needed at the time.

Absolute bloody shambles isn’t it Dave. I’m considering forming a “spirit of Benitez” group to show our disdain and anger at our new overlords. Seeing as you were a big fan of Rafael, fancy coming on board as the spokesman?

How on god green earth is prenno still hanging in there? Must be in a filing cabinet dreaming of bill kenwright and plucky little Everton.

Because he doesn't do anything, the club have forgotten they employ him. He just sits in the house all day and his wages hit the bank every Friday.

 

[brieverton]

Don't expect Dan Friedkin to attend until first game at Everton stadium myself.

It would raise eyebrows if he is not there for that.

 

[Goat]

Good luck with that.

Thanks.

He might come to the Southampton game on his round of visits. It would make sense as he's only a couple of hours away via a flight

£600M to buy a club they'll sell in a few years time for a massive profit....and they've renegotiated the terms on which debt will be repaid by the club (AKA as 'the fans')?

Yeah, real benefactors.

They're practically bankrupting themselves.


It'll never cease to amaze me the level of serfdom some of our fans will descend to.

Bankrupting?? They’re just SAVED themselves a shed load in interest payment every month. Your mocking hugely successful business, vey rich successful businessmen, to try and fit your own narrative.

When you buy a house for £100k in 2005 and sell it for its value of £325k in 2025, does that make you bankrupt or does that make you wise, as that’s the logic you are applying. Every owner is in it to make profit, EVERY single one of em. If debt levels reduce rapidly (lot could be resolved with naming rights deal) and they sell us on for profit, then so be it but we couldn’t be in any worse position than we have been these past7 years. You’re mentally bankrupt if you think otherwise.

And
He didn’t turn up after all.

Think the problem is we have had no ceo so have had no voice from the club at all. Would expect that to change when kenear comes in so things csn come down and is some sort of comunication, is abit of both for me is great to hear from the owners but also well hearing frok moshri/ kenwright 77 ecr some of it was embarassing.

I don't know, is he still in his underground bunker, keeping safe from us rough, headlocking ruffians, the Friedkins probably don't know he even exists never mind still working for us.

He and his son have been there loads of times.

The points is that there's a big difference between what TFG are doing and what real football refactors do.
