New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Exeter_Gently]

I want to see what they do after this season at roma to see how they will try fix the situation. Will be another tough summer for us again but could give us ideas on how they will run us long term

Yeah but cant Blues just be happy now and look for a bit of positivity for a couple of days at least?

God knows it's been a negative cycle of complete for nearly 3 years.

In entirely unrelated news, Roma are on their 4th manager of 2024 and firmly ensconced in the bottom half of Serie A.

Or if you want to put it another way, Roma have employed a manager to see them safely through this season, and already have plans in place to move him upstairs in the summer, rebuild and reset for next season. What are Everton doing? Floundering. Can't wait until these owners come in. Why are we so afraid of standards?

If Thelwell is happy with Dyche then get rid, who knows what signings he’s signed off on, Beto for example has been a horrendous buy.

Beto was signed as they let us buy him with no down payment…doubt a club with money buys him.

The Athletic saying it’s expected to be completed on Thursday, so I guess it won’t be till next week

Maybe not at the same price but he is still rated in serie a where he had a solid season previously

Contrary to this we have no idea what he’s been allowed to sign off on or not. If the other directors of football under Moshiri are anything to go by, I’m not convinced he’ll have had that much freedom to do his job properly.

There's no way Thelwell went to Moshiri after Ancelotti and said "we should go for either Bielsa or Dyche"
I highly doubt he had a say in Dyche.
As for the players signed, Thelwell literally wrote a book on playing 3-5-2 which would make the signing of O'Brien make more sense,
Also his duds like Maupay or Beto would have fared much better in a 3-5-2 system.
Unfortunately for him, Dyche has come in and he's had to jam square pegs in round holes.

If play to his strengths…let him to run on to balls

Christmas next week so looking like January now

Makes a valid point. Opinions are going to vary obviously, but he’s had an impossible job and deserves a chance to see what he can do with even a little cash.

First two weeks of January is just board games and films to ease everyone at Everton media HQ back in after the Christmas break too. So I reckon January 17th for the announcement, that’s a Friday too.

Why has Thelwell gone the match with one of those joke shop nose/glasses disguises on?

You're just the sort of thing we're after ...

It can be the worst time, this time of year to get anything done and can understand why things can be delayed

The Friedkin Group’s takeover of Everton is a “done deal”, according to Paul Brown.

The freelance journalist, who has written for Josimar and previously The Express, reported via his personal X account on Wednesday (18 December) that “multiple sources” have told him TFG have successfully bought Farhad Moshiri out of Goodison Park.

Me Nan could have told us that to be fair.
