New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

Ah good I was hoping it would be Marc Watts [googles Marc Watts]

Welcome Marc

They're owners of a football club. We're an asset to them and no more than that.

People should at the very least keep an open mind and not bend the knee to the new masters coming in...look how much you were all disappointed in Kenwright then Moshiri.

They're just investors. That's it.

The way some fans hero worship mammon for being mammon is off the charts daft.

They're guilty until proven innocent for me...ALL of them. Experience tells me that.

Kenwright was an investor? How much did he invest?

It’s the clever play mate. I agree, yet they have recovered Roma as a business and invested.

With all supporters have been through in the last four years, I wouldn’t begrudge anyone a bit of optimism and hope today.

Be holding a watching brief myself.

Even if they do a sub-par job, do you think they'll do a job similar to Moshiri though?

Do you think they'll push Everton to the brink? I am confident things will improve, by how much is the benchmark.

My initial aim is stabilise and then grown. Do that and we'll slowly get the club back.

I have to give credit to Moshiri for getting that stadium done.

If they do anything half as significant here I'll be amazed.

The low bar people are talking about doesn't exist, because even two egotists like Kenwright and Moshiri achieved something in terms of stability (Kenwright) and a new facility (Moshiri).

Both were getting rid of because they couldn't get us to where we belong on the pitch as winners. This lot will be judged by the same yardstick.

 

[Delargeinho]

Happy that you finally found a solution after years of misery that led that club to a level where it should never be.

It's a lot of hope to come for your club and I really wish Everton will be in position where the club really belongs soon again.

...and they're hated there because of the onfield and off-field turmoil.

 

[Marius57]

The chance they get from me and others is to prove themselves over and over again.

It's daft not to believe they'll be the next hated owners. It's baked into the position they have.

Assuming you want us to lose this weekend so Chelsea get closer to Liverpool?

So simultaneously wanting the new owners to start off with a loss

Hurry up

He bought/borrowed the money for shares, the end.
Didn’t invest a bean.

Not really arsed, I think whatever happens Liverpool are handed the league.

 

[davek]

When the ale is £10 a pint at the ground.

...which it will be btw.

 

[Drico]

Welcome Marc

Yes, an intellectual.

 

[Neiler]

All owners are eventually hated mate, it’s inevitable.

Same with managers.

 

[Nymzee]

You're not arsed if Everton lose a game?

I'm looking forward to cheering Marc from the bleachers.

Bleachers? It's one thing having American owners but stands will always be stands, not bleachers. Good lord, man, this is England.
