Im on your side here Dave. Everyone was made up he bought the club at the time. Chanting “we’re effing rich” at the match.

It's change. Change, that can only improve the state of the club that's been sinking for far to long.
It wont be change overnight, he wont be in the sweetshop throwing his cash around. He will prioritise fixing a broken club and making debt a priority.
It will take time and I expect it wont please everybody how he takes to the task.
But if the Takeover goes through then we can start the journey of getting our club back, whilst becoming financially stable. It will be a journey of total Restructure. And with the new stadium, players will be jumping at the chance of getting a piece of it..
And we wont be bringing filth like Benitez to be part of that project..
And I certainly wont be shouting out about 'Roma' just to find a fault in his project.
Wouldn’t say we’re “broken”.
Mismanaged and a political issue damaged us. But we’re in the biggest league in world football and have a world class stadium months away from completion.
How were we supposed to predict how much of a disaster he’d turn out to be?
These fellas actually have a track record in football to speak of. It’s not the same.

I think people look at the attraction of any new prospective owner through push / pull factors. The push factor here is obvious, people just want to get away from Moshiri, the pull factor is less obvious, as others have said….what exactly would TFG’s plans be for us? It’s great they’ve injected some capital by paying back loans, but 777 also did the same, so what exactly would the plan be? It’s that element we need to have a close eye on.

I’m not sure that he’s suggesting what you think he is there tbh. Not really a terrible shock that you don’t understand something though.

The difference is 777 has been plagued by rumour, allegations and headlines. Liege are the prime example.
We have confidence and hope becuase the new owners have proven at Roma they can govern a football club, they had a plan and have executed it and it's also not come at a cost of ability on the pitch - they've won a european trophy.
None of us know the finer details of their plan, but they've proven when they buy a football club that they have a plan to ensure the football club has the foundations in place.
We've also had positive reviews of TFD at Roma.
None of us know the future but after the past 3 years treading water, there is good reason for hope.

Everyone should be excited by this takeover. If you aren't then what's the point in supporting a football club if all it does is bring misery?
That optimism shouldn't mean we go running around saying we are rich or we're going to take the city etc. like some did last time. That was all cringe and ultimately backfired. We just have to have that inner belief that if we are well run and do the right things, eventually we will have something tangible to show for our support in terms of a trophy or two. We also shouldn't go to bits if it doesn't work out as we have to all understand trying to beat the teams ahead of us is a very difficult task.
Save the worries for when there is something to worry about, like what we've gone through the last 3 or so seasons. Until then it looks like we will owe at max 400 million for a stadium that would cost over a billion if started today. We no longer have to think about a 3rd party owning it and more of that income is going to be flowing back into the team.

Is there any clearer idea if the Friedkin takeover happens where these debts will likley stand?
- £450 million - Moshiri.
- £225 million - Rights And Media Funding
- £200 million - 777.
- £159 million - MSP.
- £5 million - Metro Bank.
Moshiri’s is written off. MSP will be the first one to be paid, then RMF, then Metro Bank, then 777(ACap) if they still exist.

We haven’t won anything for nearly 30 years .
For Everton that means we are most definitely ‘broken’ and in severe need of repairs.
That was the word, but who knows. If not then they’ll be restructured so that the interest is manageable.
Why not? A group who makes 12 billion a year would have to pay about a billion to wipe out the existing debt
Chump change for the Freidkin group
