New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Neiler]

Don’t know if anyone else has been listening to the Athletic podcast series on Multi Club Organisations - of which we are now part of one.

Very good, talks about the nature, models, motivations, agendas, possible profits to be made and future scope.

Talks to people involved in brokering MCO’s and those involved.

Would recommend, very insightful.

I'm not really bothered about how many games the new owner attends or doesn't attend.

If he wants to stay on the sidelines or in the background well as long he's investing money into the club, and appointing the most qualified people for the relevant roles, and delegating tasks to the people best equipped to do them then that's fine by me.

That lobby to attend games will grow as the club fortunes ebbs and flows.

He’d do well to attend some of the final games at Goodison.

Great marketing opportunity ahead of the summer to underline, the phoenix from the flames stuff.

Unless he does it will be used as a tool against him at some point.

And at least one of those tools posts on here.

I don't even care about them investing money in the club, just that they don't take any out. If we get competent owners who stabilise the long term debt, use yearly income to invest in the squad and leave us as a club that breaks even I'll be happy. Hopefully their gain will come from the appreciation in value rather than any dividends.

As long they run the club well and move us forward I couldn`t care less if an owner never came to a game. Blue Bill never missed a game and run the club into the ground.

Paddy Boyland reported a bit on what the expected structure will be in football operations:

On the rung below new chief executive Angus Kinnear, you’ll likely have Moyes as manager and then heads of player identification, trading/negotiation, football operations and strategy/analytics.

There will probably be a mix of internal and external hires.

Head of recruitment Dan Purdy could, for example, fulfil the player ID role. At Leeds United, trading/negotiating was done by a freelance consultant, Nick
Hammond, who is highly regarded by Kinnear from their time together at Elland Road. He is in the frame for a similar role with Everton.

Recruitment firm Nolan Partners has also helped with the search for a new director of football operations, with a director of strategy and analytics also to be appointed. The aim is to have all key pillars in place by the end of the season.

Same Nicky Hammond who was the Swindon keeper in that one fateful Premier League season they had?

The very same, he was DOF at Reading, Technical Director at WBA then he was head of operations at Cetlic, Transfer consultant at Newcastle and then a free lance football advisor at Leeds - essentially there DOF until they appointed a new one.

He signed some dreadful players at Celtic, big flops, including:

That is a rather underwhelming CV i have to say.
