Is Dan or Ryan the chairman of Roma?

Dan is Chairman. Ryan is CEO.

Marc Watts, Eric Williamson and Analaura Moreira-Dunkel are also on their board. Same as us.

When King Dan attends his first game at BM he should be made to walk from John Lennon airport so he knows just how it feels to be made to walk miles and miles and miles to watch a game. Then after the game he should use Sandhills to see the other torture some fans have to endure.

We’ll have the fittest, most heart-healthy fans in the prem at the and of next season mate!

I see Eric Williamson served on the Greater Houston Partnership Transportation Committee.

In addition to his other experience and reputation as a fixer he seems to be the ideal liaison for the club with Steve Rotheram and not someone that can just be fobbed off.

He seems to be the guy that if there is a fire anywhere across the TFG empire he's called in to sort it out.

100% this. He’s a business man who has bought a business. As long as he keeps making good business decisions then I don’t care if he ever sets foot in the place. Not sure why people want him to be at every game with an Everton scarf and a bobble hat on. How does that make him a good owner? He’s the money man!

Correct - run the business like a business. We’ve had too many train sets played with. We have been crying out for this, I just hope this little bit of stability and moderate fortune lasts.

Y'all hated the World's Biggest Evertonian taking every opportunity to jump in front of the camera's and keep himself front and centre of everything Everton , appointing all yes men and old chums to the party.

Well here you have it.
A real life business man that appoints all the relevant professionals to carry out the clubs duties while overseeing the operation without putting himself first and trying to be Mr Popular with the fanbase.

THIS
Is what we all wanted....Right ?.....Right ?

The stench of Kenwright is slowly being washed away.

It's bliss.

Everton and "professionalism" haven't gone together in a very long time, indeed. One might say since the 1960s...

The good thing about the new board is that they’re all used to being naked members elsewhere. They’ll know the divisions of responsibility between board members, CEO, and then those on the football side. Under Moshiri we had the owner, chairman, and director of football all making their own signings, no one knew what Denise did as CEO. Hopefully those days of muddled thinking and lines of accountability are over.

And Everton is simply one of many strings to the overall Friedkin bow. With Kenwright and Denise, this was, basically, their life. And they had little to no expertise running a ship of this stature. So they ran it as a stage show with theatrical flourishes, and as a charity.

Ooh, SD, you're getting me all hot and bothered, tell me more about these "naked members".
