The Friedkin Group - Dan & Ryan Friedkin

[spectateur]

Nah the colour is great, Z cars is what it is, nothing special in my opinion. Like I said it's not something the crowd get behind, in my match going experience limited as it is seemed that z cars was widely ignored.

Z cars or more properly Johnny Todd is important, it's a link with local heritage.

Don't mess with Tex...Everton.

 

[Bedfordblue]

New owners, new stadium, new start I say.
People wanted a more modern theme tune than Z Cars, what better way than Dan to use his Toyota contacts for the Toyota Dome and we can come out to a reworking of Public Enemy’s ‘Welcome to the Terror Dome (Toyota Dome - get it?)

Who’s with me?

Whataburger shirt sponsor if they are true Texans

Dr Pepper on the sleeves?

 

[pfim]

Private equity is killing Whataburger

Buc-ee's as Everton sponsor would immediately expand the US supporter base by 10x overnight though

They’re in all the best states as well: Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama…all the states Evertonians most identify with.

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;

Having some "been there, done that" experience is comforting

Palace fan here. (Everton supporting son so been a lot to Goodison). If the crowd aren’t that bothered, how come when Mike Walker had it changed to “Simply the Best” there was uproar? In my experience (very limited to many on here) it’s integral to the experience.

Pretty sure he changed it to a karaoke version if Bad Moon Rising.

They changed the lyric to Blue Moon Rising, it didn't last more than a couple of games. I have no recollection to running out to Simply The Best, but it was one of them so gs the Everton DJ played ALL THE TIME.

Think we should adopt a new motto/slogan to go along with our new owners. May I suggest something like...'This means more'.

Has a certain grandiose feel to it.

Dons hard hat, cups ears and hits the deck

been hearing that they will brand the transfer windows as "Transfer-a-thon"

 

[SerenityNigh]

Surely we can do better than that?

Mate, half the forum would give a blowie to random Russians for transfer cash

 

[roy vernon]

Playing in blue yes, not arsed about Z cars, new stadium new tune for me, something the fans can get more involved with.. Z cars isn't that.

I suppose it's an age thing with me, but, Johnnie Todd (z cars) just before the teams come out makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'd hate to see it go.

Done it before

 

[SerenityNigh]

I hope they aren't afraid to make sweeping changes at all levels of the club.

Actions>words.

After last summer there's not much to do except sweep out the cobwebs, but generally this is on point.

I would like it if they can get to the bottom of headlockgate.

….if you want us to guess, I’ll say your missus?

 

[SerenityNigh]

Sadly going to be quite a lot of made up rubbish passed off as fact in the next few months.

Only believe official sources.

You've got to be all kinds of mental to want to take on us and our debts.

if you have time and money (and maybe a little bit of boredom) it's a perfect investment. EFC will be worth loads in 12-20 years if properly managed. people with that kind of money don't buy a 401k or even a few paintings, they buy big things. doesn't mean they can't mess it all up, but it's entirely logical that they would both buy the club as an investment and run the club for its own benefit (ie, be successful).
