    The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

    He could be 100% right about all of that and it still doesn’t overly concern me. This club was in something close to an existential crisis, and Friedkin brings stability we’ve been desperate for. Maybe they’ll be a bit like this anaemic Labour government. They might be dull and not doing the...

    New Everton Stadium

    I remember going looking for this ages ago. It’s a right pain in the neck! Pretty sure it came up when we found out there were two sites in consideration: Stonebridge Cross and Bramley Moore. That was sometime before May 2016, judging by this article...

    New Everton Stadium

    We can pontificate about what the tier arrangement looks like in an empty ground, but none of us can judge it properly until we're watching a game there, as @maccavennie says.

    New Everton Stadium

    Just perusing the Echo's article showing some photos of the details at the new ground. We're so used to seeing it aerially, and at a distance - which is absolutely not how we'll experience it. Seeing Goodison from the air is nothing like the experience of being there. So getting ground-level...

    Friedkin's To Do list.

    I don't think you're right about that one. Wikipedia, citing U2.com and an interview with Bono, disagrees anyway. But regardless, it could be about the streets of Walton and I'd still feel glum having to listen to it every game.

    Friedkin's To Do list.

    A miserable song about Belfast - sung by the insufferable Bono - wouldn’t get my blood pumping. It’d be worse than that time a U2 song appeared on everyone’s iPhone uninvited.

    The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

    I think we’ve been luckier than him. 777 would’ve been more lucrative precisely because they weren’t serious people and were willing to (try to) hit an asking price no one else would. Thankfully for us, they weren’t able to get it over the line. But Moshiri is poorer for being forced to...

    The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

    I cannot wait for proper decision-making apparatus to be in place at Everton. I don’t feel like we’ve had that for so long. We certainly haven’t made any significant decisions the proper way. With the possible exception of the stadium project, they’ve all been at the personal whim of Moshiri or...

    The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

    Sat enjoying Sky Sports News with a cup of tea. Feels like the first time in ages.

    New Everton Stadium

    That’s it, then! The mystery finally solved! Not sure how I ever felt about this… it never really seemed like a feature, more a weird necessity because of conservation and construction factors out of our control.

    The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

    Given the options on the table, this is most welcome news to me. Friedkin seems far more professional than Textor, who seems like he might forget to dress his lower half before leaving the house on occasion.

    These are the records that belong to us! They need adding to the list of firsts you get recited to you on the stadium tour!

    2024/25 Sean Dyche

    It’s more that it’s a first-time record - i.e. it’s never happened before. Seems nuts that it’s this Arsenal side that’s broken it. And not only once, but twice in the same match by different players. We’ve had some dreadful times, and some extremely low possession lately.

    Astonished this isn't a record we hold.

    2024/25 Jarrad Branthwaite

    I think 90 minutes in an U21 match says otherwise, personally. There's no reason to run him that long in his first game back unless you want to make sure he could hack the majority of a PL match the following week. Dyche is desperate for him to be the answer to all of our problems as soon as...

    New Everton Stadium

    Yes, it’s been my view that it’d be a strange thing to leave - especially if it’s kerb height. You can imagine players skidding into it and blasting their kneecaps.

    New Everton Stadium

    You speak with certainty, but it hasn’t been certain. I’m interested in the consensus, as it’s been up for debate.

    John Textor

    I think beggars can’t be choosers and unfortunately we’ll get what we’re given. But in a perfect world, Textor wouldn’t be my choice.

    Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

    I think the game plan nearly worked. So it’s harsh to criticise it.
