New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

Also was also a lock up for Drunks...it wasn't a house.

Yes, I'm well aware of what it was.

I still think it's what they are referencing with the name.

We may not refer to it as a Roundhouse, but people do.

Merseyside’s hidden treasures: Prince Rupert’s Tower

PRINCE Rupert’s Tower, a beehive-like structure on Everton Brow, began in 1787 as an overnight lock-up for drunks and minor miscreants.

I'm sure there are more sources - I found these in a few minutes.

…..great research, Matey. I was born and raised in Everton and never heard that terminology.

It was my thought also, to be honest.

As I understand it, it’s a vehicle setup specifically to purchase Everton.

It’s not something I’ve ever heard Rupert’s Tower called, but it would make sense.

Roundhouse is also a term used in boxing for a type of punch.

Could be a few reasons for it. Does Dan live in a round house?

….i imagine he lives in a mansion.

I think people use the term “roundhouse” in a fairly generic way. Wikipedia seems to think so, anyway. They have a long “Roundhouse may refer to…” list.

So just a round building I presume would be the implication here.

They could’ve done better with the name for their holding company, but I suppose “Lockup Holdings” sounds slightly more… custodial.

... I imagine he lives in a round mansion, which he calls his house.

I didn't realise the Friedkins also own AS Cannes who are currently in the French regional fourth division. They aren't exactly smashing it in the league but beat second division Grenoble in the French cup today.

Would say that's a long term project for them. They haven't been in top flight football since the 90s. Think Zidane used to play for them

Yeah potentially could play much higher.

I like the fact that tenure doesn't even make his Wikipedia page.

Sounds about right. As I recall he used to wear a big girl's blouse when he played for us.
