I don't see any reason they need to "get" football. It's not like they'll be running the day-to-day operations of the club. As long as they're smart enough to appoint someone as CEO who does get it, that should be good enough.We all know the club needs real business men to move forward. These guys are obviously business men - the issue will be if they get sport or specifically football and football at Everton or not. Judging by the stories about the Padres it's hard to see that they would get it.
