New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[Drico]

'My new name for them is Freid'kinell.'

D'you see what a did there.

David, you should have quit while you were ahead with the inspired GTF acronymn switcheroo...

I consider myself quite a negative person but I gotta say Davek blows me out of the water. Can’t say I’ve ever seen him post anything positive although I did have him on hidden for a while so perhaps he may have been posting positive stuff then?
I doubt it tho and in some ways I can’t blame him. It’s mostly soul destroying being an Evertonian.

 

[Davidoff]

What is it they're not doing that they should be doing, or vice versa?

Moyes is the best available option for our current situation.

Literally not do what Kenwright would've done

I'd say Moyes is far from the best option. He's not an impact manager, as he showed at united/sunderland/sociedad/first two half seasons at west ham. He needs time to get a team going.

Martinez era was the last time he posted something positive, since then, DOOM.

Obsession and positive is 2 different things.

I;ll have to back him wont I? We're in a relegation fight.

But that doesnt mean he wont get criticised - he made that inevitable (and not just from me) the moment he denigrated this club and its fans.

That's fair enough and I will criticise him too if need be like any of our previous managers.
Also I was fuming with him the way he tried to low ball bids for our players, but we did in the end get £27m for Fellaini which allowed us to buy Lukaku for £28m, win, win.

Showing signs of good leadership already.

Early days but I'm starting to think we're in good hands.

Think they wanted us to get through the Season with him mate, especially after all the furore with Roma and their manager situation. But it was getting a bit near the knuckle and behind the scenes it looked like Dyche was losing the dressing room, he admitted the previous week the players weren't listening to him and on the pitch we couldn't even buy a goal.

Good leadership?
They made a mess of negotiations with the incumbent manager .
Sacked him without a plan .
Have had to frantically scrabble around in desperation to find a suitable replacement only to be forced into appointing a second rate replacement on his reptilian terms .
Good leadership ?
Exceptionally poor , disjointed and chaotic leadership .

First rule of negotiating, be willing to walk away. They could have had let it be known they were negotiating with Potter, Fonseca etc.

Yes I'm sure they would have preferred to have a natural reset in the summer. Dyche forced their hand by throwing in the towel.

What negotiations?
They've acted when they needed to, even if its not the timing they would have wanted. Whether the next manager is Moyes or someone else, they'll have improved us inside of 4 weeks.

Took a club that was financially destined for absolute disaster. Got the debts under control so we are sound moving forward. Sacked a manager that had given up. All in less than a month.
And people are crying bc the new manager isn’t who they wanted. Grow up. We could have had 777 or textor who is selling palace to support Lyon. We should be thanking God that we got this group.

Is everyone still in a spiral of misery and depression? Pessimism is a vital part of being an Everton fan, but jeez, let's have SOME optimism, jeez.

Coming in here is like visiting a hospice at times.

Good leadership, bad leadership, it doesnt really matter: they are the only ones that truly put their hands in their pockets and baled us out of what looked like certain receivership. FFS reading the amount of entitlement and negativity on here is bewldering and sad. Yes, we all wish this was the 80s...but it is not. Outside of Goodison, the world has changed...EPL clubs are owned by multinational owners with more than one interest...players are commodities and sponsorship deals and TV rights are far more important to owners than fan chat groups. Maybe we wish it wasnt so but it is. So, I couldnt give a toss about the wording or timing of Dyche's firing. Why should they thank him for last year? It wasnt their club and he wasnt their employee. Where are all the messages from the players??? Under Moshiri Dyche new he could what he wanted and say what he wanted. That changed very quickly. Anyway...as they say in the military: "either lead, follow or get the f$ck out the way"
