New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[blulouie]

Completely agree. I dont mind the esk, he's obviously someone who cares about Everton and that's ok by me. But I dont think any of us are done any favours by looking the other way on this deal and spinning it for TFG.

It's a long way back to financial fitness for Everton and any notions that a magic wand has just been waved for us are well wide of the mark.

Should have just stuck with Kenwright payday loans & selling of everything that's not nailed down eh Dave ?

Or maybe wave that magic wand and magic up an Oil state buying us .

This is about the very best we could hope for .
Loans down to a bare minimum and debt converted to equity.
There really is no down side here.

Or did you think we get a £ 700+ mil stadium for free ?

Ominous for Dyche

What other clubs owners do you aspire for ours to be like? Just out of interest.

Wonder if they told Dele he’s definitely not getting a contract, interesting timing

 

[Victus]

One thing I do find weird is he hasn't spoken to us, not sure if it's a by product of the previous muppets talking too much. I knew they didn't speak but not even when the takeover is completed, it's all very shadowy and mysterious

 

[Eidean]

Are you not enthused by our new overlords, Dave?

He’d be fuming with anyone, Chris.

These lot aren’t rich enough & if we did get anyone rich enough they’d have been the wrong people because of human rights etc etc

What he wanted was one of those ethical billionaires…… lol.

...and please don't post Tommy Smith's Red Echo hacks content here.
.

yup!

 

[matty1878]

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

…

well we’ve not been ran by people who knew what to do

so that’s already good

 

[matty1878]

Exactly.

Unforgivable yesterday that a lot of people who apparently have pull in the Everton community were telling fans this is "an effectively" debt free club now. They should hang their heads in shame contributing to that myth.

why are you even giving your utter worthless opinions on other threads?

go and get back to the liverpool thread
that’s a good lad

 

[blue to the bone]

Let's see how late he turns up for the press conference today with the new bosses in place. He wouldn't like to look unprofessional would he !

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

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

Brilliant...

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

and i want the manager of my club to earn his high salary for being good at his job

tick tock till dyche is off o clock

This is as much as we will here from Dan Friedkin . . . and that's fine by me
Dear Evertonians,
Following the completion of the takeover of Everton Football Club, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support and introduce the incoming Executive Chairman of Everton, Marc Watts.
I take immense pride in welcoming one of England’s most historic football clubs to our global family, The Friedkin Group. Everton represents a proud legacy, and we are honoured to become custodians of this great institution.
The Friedkin Group is a diverse family of companies with a global footprint spanning industries such as sports, automotive, entertainment, hospitality, and adventure. Across all our endeavours, we strive to deliver extraordinary experiences that ignite people’s passions. We are thrilled to bring this ethos to Everton and the Liverpool City Region.
Whilst we are new to the Club, we fully understand the vital role Everton plays in local culture, history, and the lives of Evertonians here and around the world. We are deeply committed to honouring this legacy while contributing positively to the community, economy, and people of this remarkable city.
Once again, thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely,

Dan Friedkin

 

[Dr Baxter]

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

Absolutely. That rag, all of a sudden, seems to have already changed its position on the fans' protest. All justified now, apparently. Even though it gave us down the banks at the time.

 

[davek]

Probably why he's meeting him day one to be fair.

He should have mentioned him yesterday. And Friedkin. Looked like they didn't want TFG to be associated with him. It's just courtesy to have done so.

Let's see what he has to say today and hope he amends for that.

Whatever anyone feels about Dyche he's saved our skins in the direst of seasons I've ever seen as an Evertonian when we looked like being road kill...and he's been the head of our organisation in the absence of a functioning board.
