New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[pfim]

Can’t see that until it’s all done and dusted, how long does it take usually for EPL approval for a takeover ?

I read somewhere between 12-16 weeks

It would go in as debt just like the 777 money if that's happening, it's certainly plausible.

 

[Toffeelover]

Nowhere settled yet.

As @pfim says he could inject capital in a similar way to the 777 deal. If he is OK with what he has seen of the books then he will have a high degree of confidence he will sail through the approvals and will become owner, it's just a matter of time. In which case he could see a small injection of transfer capital as being a move to protect the value of his purchase given he is unlikely to be fully confirmed before the window ends.

Stating the obvious

Everton last to report it as per usual. Hopefully if or when the deal is completed, there will be sweeping changes and get rid of all the blurts that have been fleecing the club and bringing nothing of value whatsoever. That includes Prentice, a truly abysmal communications Manager.

Less is very definitely more in the case of these club statements.

We’re Everton and have Moshiri so until the whole thing is fully done and signed off by the authorities then it can always go wrong.

However so far it is really encouraging progress.

Yes it is, but part of me was half expecting a sound bite from Moshiri himself alas he has kept his mouth shut for once

Well from what has been reported it sounds like Friedkins MO to not say much. 777 a bit more flamboyant shall we say

Very interesting comparison.

The 777 one needed a sales pitch to the fans to make it not seem like absolute turd.

This one is matter of fact, because they know it’s what we all want.

Yeah I’d say so. And maybe the Friedkin Group has requested that not much is made of it until all is done and dusted.

Yep it implies a lot more confidence instead of writing multiple paragraphs trying to sell it.

…and I like the fact we’re actually linked with a few acquisitions, as though something is already happening. Not big bucks but transfers that could see a big improvement, like Issa Kabore.
