It's almost like we'd forgotten who we are, such has been the dampening of expectations over the last 3 decades. Fucken Everton aren't we?!

You know we talk about 'Everton that' a lot but us surviving these past years by the skin of our arse and potentially coming out of it with competent owners and a brand new state of the art stadium is probably the most anti 'Everton That' moment I could think of.

Brilliant, that.

I am getting no sound.

Is that the same for everyone?

I dunno about that, yet, they certainly know bidness.

Whether they know football bidness remains to be seen, they are still very much learning, its about whether they are sensible and tap into some genuine football acumen or whether they do a Moshiri and think he knows it all cos he bought a few bitcoin once.

I like to think their chances are better. Again, not to say they can run a football team well, but I like the odds of someone who has built a very successful business versus someone who was handed money by a very corrupt man. They tend to have learned more lessons along the way.

Interesting detail that the new Freakin' owners have only acquired 99.5% of the club and the remaining 0.05% is still under the helm of one William Kenwright, deceased.

I think Bill held more than point 05%

It’s amazing to see real marketing and no people club rubbish and telling people with won 9 league titles and 5 fa cup as we seem to have forgotten that the last 30 years.

Time to truly wake up the sleeping giant

They bought Farhad 94. Something but also turned their 200 million loan in to shares so maybe that it

Apparently Harold Shipman was good at plastering his sister's house and left a lovely chimney breast for all to admire . No good words for someone who almost sent us out of existence ,The man is a buffoon ask his tax man -whoops he doesn't need one as he rakes in his Russian money in Monaco.

Moshiri gets a bad rap here, and fair enough in many ways, but the 1st thing he did IIRC was pay off the clubs debt.

As far as I know, they bought out Moshiri's 94 percent, then the rest of Kenwright's estate to give them 98 and something %. When they turned the loan into shares they badically diluted the remaining small shareholders, leaving them with the 99.5%.

Friedkin 6 point strategic plan:

• Strengthening the men’s first-team squad through thoughtful and strategic investment.
• Cultivating home-grown superstars through Everton’s Academy.
• Fostering a distinct on-pitch and commercial strategy for the women’s team.
• Respecting the club’s traditions and keeping Everton at the heart of the community.
• Maximising the potential of the new stadium through long-term commercial partnerships and events that benefit the city of Liverpool.
• Enhancing Everton’s reputation as a unique and historical name in world football

Is that what they said?

Totally over the top. And he could have walked away at any point and saved himself a huge amount of money. But didn't.

The almost sent us out of existence can swing both ways. If we use the word almost, after Ancelotti OR maybe with Ancelotti if we had been allowed to continue spending like City and Chelsea had done, we could have taken a very good team and kicked on. You see what has happened to Newcastle this year, they have the richest owners in the world but can't do squat. The landscape has changed and is totally geared to the ones already at the top of the pyramid. He took risks to try and get us somewhere and it failed. Yet here we are with a brand new stadium that would cost 1.4ish billion if we started now that is basically paid off. Therefore the risks paid off in this case, not on the pitch, however it gives us a huge chance now to invest on it given the matchday income increase.

No point looking back with anger, we were screwed by the PL rules, by losing Usmanov's financial support, by the interest rates and huge increases in materials and labour costs, just at the very time when we needed a stable few years. We might have been able to limp along, hurt but not completely ruined, if two or three of those happened - we got the full lot. Yet we are still here and in the best position to kick on from next year, let's as a fan base start looking forward.
