New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

I hope they come in, sack everyone and Ryan takes over the managers job and has us playing American Football whilst his dad sits off in the stands doing some clay pigeon shooting.

Just can't see it.

Manager uncertainty.
DOF uncertainty.
Huge reset in June.
Lack of a market in January.

If we spend in January we absolutely have to sell JB June 2025.
If we don't spend in January we may well be able to hold onto JB.

Can’t see him staying beyond this season regardless tbh, not even sure we’ll have much say in the matter other than the fee.

That is unless there s dramatic turnaround in form and we end up in European spot and happy to continue his progress in one of the lower UEFA comps.

He could just go for the real ones and thank god Richarlison left!

But the reality is the market will be rubbish.
Dyche won't play them.
Dyche won't be managing them.
Would you sign?

I remain unconvinced.
I'd be reluctant to purchase a player knowing my manager appointment is likely to be six months later.

Can you honestly see us buying a player and Dyche playing them before April?

All of that pre supposes that Dyche is still manager in January.

Happy 800th page everyone

Pity they lent Abraham to Milan, that could have been an option for us in January. Ironic that both teams are struggling for goals.

Ranieri is a good appointment to settle things down for the reminder of the season. The Friedkins do seem to be making some elementary mistakes though. The DoF appears to be completely sidelined, and there is talk of bringing Fabrizio Paratici in (ex Spurs and suspended by UEFA) as an external consultant. Also talk that Ranieri will join the board as technical director and stay in that capacity when they presumably appoint another manager next summer.

It's all a bit haphazard and smelling of too many cooks. Relying on advisors whilst sidelining people with official roles at the club who have skin in the game for their careers is not a good move. At least Ranieri seems to be a better thought out move for the circumstances they find themselves in but they do have to show a capacity to learn, and do it quickly.

Let's be frank, Roma is a bit of a mess at the moment. I think all of the blind faith in the Friedkin's needs to be tempered. They're not the messiahs, they may well be very naughty boys. Just because Moshiri is terrible it doesn't automatically make TFG good.

Wise words WM but they were the only show in town . The alternative doesn't beat thinking about

Don't get me wrong, it can't be anything but a step up, I just don't think it's going to be the complete gamechanger that so many are suggesting.

There is certainly little evidence at the moment to justify any undue optimism.
Just a cautious wait and see approach would seem advisable at present.

Same way I'm looking at it tbh. Can remember when Moshiri bought us. We were all over the moon back then. Really thought it would provide the lift off for Everton we all craved for for so many years. The Moshiri years older and another dissapointing experience wiser, I refuse to get my hopes up to high. Lets see what TFG will provide in reality.

Is that similar to "Out of the frying pan, into the fire", or no?
