New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[APN_EFC]

A restaurant that's only open once every 2 weeks or so.

By the way, are there also going to be any cafes or restaurants open throughout the week?

No clear plan to deliver it? Are you high? We've got a new stadium on the waterfront. Did you really think he'd pay for it out of his own pocket, for free?

"Here you go lads, just get me a pint.."

Christ.

Yeah I generally think that was the idea, made out he was loaded, by not having a plan i thought he could have got decent rates for interest payments for the stadium at the beginning when those rates were about. Carry on though, enjoying you're toothless aggression.

I don't think engaging a ponzi scheme was really part of the stadium finance package originally contemplated.

Once the UK Govt pulled the plug on Uncle Aisha you mean?

Sorry lid, it was said in jest, it didn't come across quite like that reading back. Apologies.

coz it’s fun?

I sometimes bark at my dog.

Confuses him no end.

Not over the moon about a multi club model but it’s a million miles better than Moshiri, Kenwright or a Middle Eastern religio-fascist regime.

So when do we start selling hotels to ourself?

That's all it is. The world's fifth best potato sack company could make our kits if they paid £21m to have the Dave's Spuds logo in the top left corner of the shirt and every third electronic ad on the banners around the pitch.

Are West Coast jeans still trading? Just asking!

Always said we should have a bloody sarcasm filter on here, no worries pal.

The thing is we don’t know how good Thelwell is operating at any level apart from desperation. I think he’s signed some decent players in his time and also got some good fees in but his hands have been constantly tied behind his back.

He also signed Maupay who I thought was a decent signing as an alternative to what we had but was an absolute disaster.

Would we hire him in an openly advertised process?

That should be the critieria, i.e., is he the best person for the job in the world?

Looks like trouble is brewing for Toyota in the USA.
Once Everton has touched you ..etc..etc

I genuinely wouldn't take anyone serious called Robby Starbuck.

I’m not but in the USA anything is possible.

Look how they boycotted Budweiser over an advert.

This was discussed a while back and opinion was divided. In a club video a month or so ago Colin Chong confirmed the stadium will be open for business every day. Make sense. A closed stadium won't pay for itself. Wouldn't mind a Christmas dinner there next year thinking about it.

When the deal was announced they said something about them having a 365 day offer at the stadium so from that I assume they intend to have some of the bars/ restaurants open all the time.

 

[AndyRJ]

Oh yeah, I know. And it’s not just one restaurant…

3 million could be good or bad. If I had to chose between being the restaurant or the landlord, I’d chose the landlord. I do think its too simple to look at inflated stadium prices and the 3 million and think it’s a bad deal, when a lot of those inflated prices are directly related to the 3 million.

Maybe i'm overestimating it? I know there is nothing in the public domain that gives a specific value, but i just expected with this being Aramark's first foray into the UK stadium market, the fact they're a founding partner, and the club announced it as one of the biggest commercials deals they've ever done...I expected it to be bringing in considerably more than what has been suggested.
