If you have a spare couple of billion dollars, and access to strong investment partners, there are many many many better ways to make risk free returns than buying a PL football team, where everything made needs to go back in or you fall behind, plus a couple of missteps or random injuries or VAR decisions could reduce the value of you investment by half. It will be about money of course, but not JUST about money.

It will also be about status, showing off, billionaire boredom. But the fact that they aren’t lapping up cries of “USA USA USA” in the directors box after our miraculous turnaround in form could be seen as a good thing.

Build a strong sustainable financial base, put great people in key positions and keep your head down. Seems fine to me.

Fingers crossed.
 
What does it matter if they're billionaires if they act like ten bob?

I reckon this lot will be rumbled this summer...but they'll have Sgt Maj. Moyes there dampening down any discontent, just as he did for Kenwright for a decade.
In what way have they acted like ten bob? I understand your point (like any ownership) to have concerns if they are the right fit for the club. but what exactly have they done already to irritate you?
 
Always said we need a big broom and proper clear out. Prentice will be hiding under a desk somewhere. Prob the desk full of pics of bill kenwright

  • no show
  • no communication
  • no signings
  • no respect for small shareholders
Pretty alarming for a new regime.

I dont like them at all from what I've seen so far.

It’s simple. The majority of posters here are relatively happy with them so far, therefore Dave takes the most ridiculous contrary position in order to get attention off strangers on the internet.

Whenever he does his *sigh* thing at the end of a post you know he’s utterly lost the argument.

He’ll then pop up in a different thread with another ridiculous contrary take and so the long day wears on.

Yeah Dave I think everyone who even remotely glimpsed at this forum, knows your firmly established feelings towards the Friedkins, how you may ask? You announce it at least in 5 posts a day on a daily basis. Also no signings? They brought in Alcarez during the Jan window and the next window is in the summer. No show? Sounds like someone is bitter , Dan didn't do a fancy flyover of Goodison with his Spitfire. Dave they provided a press release when they took over the club what do you want a regular email blast about office happenings?
