New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Toffe3m4n]

Well there we go - straight from the horses mouth.

How we feeling? I'm cautiously optimistic but, ultimately, happy that this is now done.

Shouldn't forget that he very publicly told everybody that 777 is the perfect new owner for Everton.

Some nice words there though, so thanks for the stadium and accepting the huge inevitable loss on your investment.

Finally, feel I can rest now.

Ah, actually - that's just saying he's temporarily staying on as CEO.

The other article said he'd have a place on the board.

Two separate things.

Aye but if he's not interim CEO, what will he be? As they have put a new finance lady in haven't they. All to come of course but I think he deserves some role.

Signing off with Nil Satis Nisi Optimum!!!

Finally one of our darkest periods of ownership comes to an end - What an absolute mess Moshiri made of the whole thing

I will credit him for one of the most exciting periods in recent years though - That mad summer where we seemed to signed somebody for £25m every day, I was in Crete and buzzing to get alerts - it genuinely seemed like a really exciting and fresh time for the club

Alas..

My works do tomorrow so will save the celebratory boozing till then. Might even take my GOT pint glass with me to the pub.

Straight out the Kenwright Playbook!

My God, is it finally done, like officially done...?

 

[Eggs]

….i notice the thread title has been updated so we can now accept that it’s genuinely happened

Good day, should be a sense of relief this is done. We’ll see how they transform the first team (they’ll be forced to this summer), but at least the finances are stable.

Straight out the Kenwright Playbook!

Kenwright did his best to get rid of those words, even tried to take them off the badge.

Front and centre for Friedkins.

Going to be quite weird focusing on just football matches. That's all the focus needs to be right now - go and win some matches and get out of trouble.

1 or 2 smart signings next month would be a big help.

Who's next for the chop.

Don’t really understand the whole financey bit.

In layman’s terms, where does it leave us in terms of debts etc if the shareholder loans are essentially written off?

Like, debt was over £660m is my understanding, I’m assuming it’s considerably less now?
