New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[9LeagueTitles5FACups]

Why dint we house them at the Echo and take some ownership of that. The Everton docklands arena and the Everton stadium

If we took control of the waterfront we may be able to gain a stronger foothold in this city and beyond. Such a move could offer us a new identity, whether one is needed or not.

Don’t know what Kidd brings to the party if I’m honest. Unless there’s going to build a basketball arena built on the land they’ve purchased.

Pandamonium.

I’m sure this is just an investment for Kidd and nothing more.

I'll have one hotel on the regent rd please, and I'll take that £200 for passing go. Now who's turn is it

Yanks are only interested in one thing - money

It’s us that they want to extract it from

Worrying that so many of them are involved in football at the moment

More than likely a name to up the profile of the group.
Havnt a. clue who he is myself but seems a big name in the USA.

Hi sporting achievement, crossover skills, marketing help, ability to reach new markets etc.

Well, of course he is investing. But I don't think he has any sort of net worth to make a difference to the club.

Everyone seems to be based in Texas, so I'm not sure they had anything to do with Textor.

The Athletic (and other outlets) reported earlier in the year that he was part of a US-SAUDI consortium that made an offer for Eagle Football’s 45% stake in Palace.

Given that Sarofim is also Texas based and has Saudi links, I don't think it is beyond the realms of possibility that he was also involved in the same consortium.

Never heard of him myself, but they do love their netball in USA and apparently he is very high profile over the pond.
People moaned that the club didn't take the most advantage of Landon Donovan and Tim Howard to raise our profile in America.

Dude has a twitter.

This is going to be fun.
