The Friedkin Group - Dan & Ryan Friedkin [19/07/2024] Purchase Talks Over.

[DanB90]

I have found the transfer history of Roma in recent years. This owner does not invest much in transfer. They have ambitious but more focus on sustainability.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’d kill for some sustainability right now.

Seem like a decent option - doubt there is a perfectone. Certainly far more optimistic than when 777 kept getting the deal extended.

Not focusing on sustainability has cost us 8 points and about 12 million in merit payments... I'd love to just be able to follow Everton again without having to worry about finances being a mess.

just make us decent again please

I won't claim to have intricate knowledge of Roma, but when I checked I could see they'd invested heavily.

They had massive problems/FFP issues which no doubt has hindered their recruitment. This article from inews pretty much sums up what I read up about them a little while ago;

The Friedkins have plunged an estimated $1bn into Roma in four years, repairing the club’s finances and – crucially – dragging them back into financial fair play compliance over four years. They modernised the club by appointing their first sporting director, revenues improved by 17 per cent last season and there has been a Europa Conference League victory on their watch. In the debit column they have failed to land Champions League football.

I've heard that if we could sign sustainability, he could be worth as much as 6 points per season

Not having his son.

Looks like one of those TikTok bellends that loves flashing his cash while wearing a MAGA cap

Think we'd take that in a heartbeat.

The son is apparently a Chelsea fan so with that pedigree, he’ll easily switch to supporting us in no time at all.

 

[Martin Alvito]

The one red flag when I look at Roma's financial reporting is that the debt continues to pile up. I assume this is because the Friedkins are providing some of the capital injection in the form of loans, rather than equity. There's no other reason for that much money to go in, yet have the debt increase.

They've retired the high interest debt they inherited, so interest costs are down, which is what we need right now. I can't say I like the prospect of owners taking any increase in revenue out of the club in the form of interest charges, but it beats paying 20% interest on huge debts.

It looks like about what one might expect from American ownership: turnaround artists who are here for the medium term, rather than the long haul. If they right the ship, I doubt any of us will begrudge what they take out along the way before selling on.

So you're not having him because of people you see on TiKTok?

Come on mate.

Yes, I’m petty

 

[pfim]

Whataburger shirt sponsor if they are true Texans

Buc-ee's, more likely

 

[Jokerdan]

I bought a Toyota from them and have stayed at one of their hotels

We are practically best friends

Take some solace then that in some small way it's your money which is helping finance the acquisition of Everton.

Ive got zero hopes ill just wait and see

Expecting to be dissappointed makes it abit easier
