New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[anton66]

We’re halfway through the season and on course for 34 points. That won’t be enough.

Ach. We’ll be fine. See it through, sort it out in the summer and push for Europe. Back in the big time again where we belong

They need to get their hands in their pockets and start buying players.

 

[GoldenToffee]

They need to get their hands in their pockets and start buying players.

And if they don't do that immediately they shouldn't have bought the club. Willingly putting the entire existence of the club in jeopardy if they don't strengthen the club for these upcoming fixtures.

No PSR wiggle room sadly.

Outs before Ins.

They cant just "get their hands in their pockets".

It isn’t 2003. Moshiri has left them in a mess PSR wise and we are stumped. You can’t just throw money at the problem anymore. I’m sure you knew this though. January will feed nicely into your agenda.

Why PSR issues, the club now save £26m for the rest of this season due to the interest we have saved on our loans... Wasn`t it the numbers being banded from the last accounts c£52m p/a, c£1m p/w? Given that we have ADDITIONAL c£26m wiggle room this season plus what we have saved in wages of players going out.

 

[charlie atkins]

Coleman earning his wages in the media department?

Bit of a scoop this!



Quite an enormous stretch.




Have you considered that the PSR level has left us with minimal ability to sign or sack?

I think we'll move 2-3 players out and bring in 2 new signings.

Dyche i think will continue to be the manager unless we look in peril.

We are in peril. Others are improving

As above PSR will be the new BK "We`re skint" to hide behind...

Notable players out...

Alli £5m per year
Gomes £6.2m
Maupay £2.6m
Godfrey £3.5m
Onana £5m
Danjuma £3.3m

= £25.6

and a net transfer income of +£33.45m

Anyone have any educated guess at what we should be able to do / spend in January with regards to PSR? The whole thing baffles me to be honest.

I know little about your recent past, so this is just a common sense assessment.

I find it absolutely natural for a group that gains control of a new club to initially leave things as they are unless something exceptional occurs (tangible risk of relegation?).

Why? Let's say you buy a company.

1) You might find out some professionals within the company are actually good and worth keeping. You have to test them.

2) how can they perform at their maximum potential - and how can you effectively evaluate them? - if you establish a terror regime in which people are instantly beheaded if they take a single false step?

The following applies to football clubs only:

3) When you deal with relegation, you deal with nytroglicerin. You never know whether the right approach is to instantly change things or leave them as they are.

Let's look at what they've done with Roma. They left Fonseca on the bench for an entire season. They left the former CEO at his place for almost a year.
They even left AS Cannes' manager on his bench. So, there's a pattern, even if in both cases the clubs didn't risk relegation.

They're not afraid to change: in 2024 at Roma they changed way too much. So, this waiting approach isn't an article of faith. They behave like this during their first season/year at a new club. Then, they're actually ruthless.

IMHO, they'll try to leave things as they are, in order to evaluate things correctly and assess the situation.

Not only that. Usually, in the summer you have a wider range of options to choose from.

They'll certainly try to buy players in january. If they adopt the continental model, the DoF will be responsible for bringing profiles that are consistent with the long term strategy of the club, independently on who'll be the manager next season.

Then, IF in one month from now the situation will collapse with 0 points or very few points, they'll surely try to shake things up by replacing Dyche.

PSR is a moveable feast. It's up to them to start laying down the law to the PL. That's how we've copped for deductions - because we had no owners in place to fight our corner.

If they dont want to see their cash thrown into the Mersey they have to get some elbow room and use it in this transfer window. Be creative. It's what they're here to do isn't it?

Surely it is tone deaf from TFG to leave a manager that over 90% of the fanbase want rid of ASAP to the point they could have protests against them for not removing this fella... there is a really quick and easy win here to settle everything down.

Pure negligence to leave this guy with 3 wins from the last 18 games and 8 wins from the last 39. Truly horrific, is it not? Would Roma accept that?
