New Everton Owners: The Friedkin Group

[summerisle]

Won two gold medals at the Olympics - better than a Blood Brothers musical I suppose.

More owners than players come July 1.

Do we think they would ever consider changing our name to make us far more marketable? E.g. Liverpool Blues

I'm dead against this, but they probably couldn't careless about doing this if it helps their bottom line. It's a very yank thing to do.

Konami is that you

I've had Mavericks season tickets since 1999 (canceled them after the Luka trade) so this is very strange news to wake up to. To be fair, Kidd was never the problem in Dallas, and I'm hoping this is a positive thing for the club. At least it puts our name on the map more? Still kind of wondering how this will ultimately affect us.

Everton Football Club is delighted to announce a further addition to the Club’s ownership group.

Jason Kidd, the Head Coach of the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, has joined Roundhouse Capital Holdings, part of The Friedkin Group.

Kidd, a 10-time NBA All-Star, is widely regarded as one of the best players of his generation. As a player, he won the 2011 NBA Championship with the Dallas Mavericks and was a two-time Olympic gold medal winner with the U.S. national team in 2000 and 2008. As a Head Coach, he had spells at the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks before joining the Mavericks in 2021 and leading them to the Western Conference Championship in 2024.

Jason Kidd said: “I’m honoured to be joining Everton’s ownership at such an important moment: with a new stadium on the horizon and a bright future ahead, it’s a great moment to come on board.”

Everton Executive Chairman Marc Watts said: “On behalf of The Friedkin Group and the Everton Board of Directors, I am pleased to welcome Jason to our ownership group.

“As one of the NBA’s greatest players and now a successful coach, his knowledge and winning mentality will be an incredible resource for Everton.

“He is a respected leader and household name for many sports fans and will bring a deeper understanding of high performance as we collectively strive to build a brighter future for this storied club.”

Who?

I'll take over from Iggy as a Mavericks fan I guess.

Former player and current head coach of the Dallas Mavericks.

Yeah honestly got nothing more here, that's it. No idea what or why this is even happening - he's not even a good coach, a big name if anything, but nothing past that, and the Mavericks are trying to rival Kenwright in how poorly they're ran/running currently.
