Took less than a month from bid to finalised purchase as the new owner when he came back in the second time for Roma.

I'd expect we'll take considerably less - took the Roma owner 19 days to accept the offer, deal was ratified and Friedkin installed as the new owner a further 13 days later.

They are very serious about buying Everton. Still one or two things to overcome, which will happen (nothing to do with PL).

They are very cash rich and will love the fact the stadium is nearly done. Id imagine we get a good sponsor for that soon. It's really good news.

They don't mess about.

Errrm, turned a club that was heavily in debt into one now making a significant profit, overall decent investment in the squad at the same time, not afraid to fire Mourinho or even De Rossi. Owner not making the hiring and firing decisions but allowing the CEO to do it which is what they're paid for. Won Romas first trophy for nigh on 20 years and their first ever European trophy.

Dave, up until the CEO fired De Rossi after apparently massive fights with several players - the Roma fans had zero but praise for Friedkin, to the extent that nearly everyone of them wanted him to not buy us in case we became his main focus. (Btw there's a rumour that the fight De Rossi and the player went further than just verbal)

That's completely untrue. They also protested when they meddled with the managerial position in sacking Mourinho.

That's what we can expect here again: a revolving door to the manager's office.
