New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[davek]

Fancy just doing the Chelsea presser today yourself Marc

A corporate rat will deign to meet our manager along with "other Everton staff".

That's good of him.

I hope they remove the Kenwright panel on the Goodison timeline and allow the stadium to have 6 months grace without his smug,tiresome face on its exterior.
They need to exorcise every last remnant of his being and influence from our club and launch an internal investigation into “headlock gate”…that’ll learn em!!

I would love that to be the very first thing they do. Auction it off for someone to use as target practice.

Be that interview goes well

So Sean how it been seen you got here?

There been noise

What sort of Noise?

Loads of Noise

A loud noise like hammer banging or a buzzing noise?

No not that type of noise.

What type then? Have you considered seeing a doctor?

Imagine if he adds that he can smell when the opposition team is going to score.

If this is now you for the foreseeable, everybody might as well block you, you offer nothing.

Let’s see if they put the new owners under more scrutiny than the last

 

[davek]

We've spent eight years being run by Herschel Krustofsky and Fat Tony. We've been taken over by people who have invested significant money in AS Roma and taken them to two European finals in that time. The level of competence at the club has, therefore, rocketed from where it was.

Worries that "the fans are going to pay for all of this" are hilarious. OF COURSE the fans are going to pay for this. That's precisely what's required if you want the club to grow. The idea that this club can be run like the Soviet Socialist Republic of Walton are for the birds. People like to use the poverty index as an excuse to prevent Everton joining the 21st century and pulling its weight as a club. Kenwright played this parochial pauper card for years - and mortgaged the club on the basis of excessive subsidised up-front season ticket exclusivity. We play in a globalised league with foreign players, ownership, and, yes, fans. The club will ALWAYS reflect its locale and social milieu first and foremost, but the Friedkins or any competent owners will not be indexing the prices it can charge or the players it can buy to the deprivation levels in the wards of inner-city Liverpool.

You want a club to compete with its former peers? Welcome to the globalised Premier League. We helped create it, remember? It's a pity we are only joining it 32 years after we set it up. The Friedkins will be judged on actions. I hope they throw sentiment into the Mersey.

Yes, that's all fine and dandy in the abstract, but the rock solid facts about our fan base is that they are not rich people. You cant exploit what isn't there to be exploited. There was a reason past regimes kept season ticket prices down and did creative deals on them and it wasn't altruism. Any other owner coming through the door now doesn't magically find a Chelsea-like fanbase waiting to fill that new stadium and buy their gear.

Annoying that the gap between 'A' and 'Brand' is smaller than between 'New' and 'Day'. Where is the consistency?

 

[LostLegend]

Glad that it’s finally sorted and we can hopefully move forward as a club.

I’m staying cautiously optimistic. We have been here before of course. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding

And

All

That

And don't forget, the corporate packages went in the blinking of an eye, almost. And that was at several thousand pound a pop for 3 years. Despite the undoubted financial challenges our part of the world has, that does not mean there aren't local fans who don't have a fair wedge. Not that I'm one of them, I hasten to add.

I want that feller Watts to show the manager of my football club some respect. He's earned it.

Are you not enthused by our new overlords, Dave?

He's earned millions per year. He'll get no other respect from me.
