The Friedkin Group - Dan & Ryan Friedkin

[Nymzee]

Do you know them personally?

Yes

Didn't kenwright turn Goodison park into a boxing ring for a rocky film?

...and we'll have pop and rock concerts at the new stadium...and?

 

[Berniethebolt]

Yes

Perhaps you should try and get on the board yourself sometime.

I'm not a better blue than others. I wouldn't fit in.

 

[Frenk]

What’s happening?

 

[Curtis]

...and we'll have pop and rock concerts at the new stadium...and?

But you didn't construe that as a desecration of something hollowed? turning Goodison into a spectacle so kenwright could hobknob with stallone

We made a charity worker the CEO of the club for years.

Probably the worst decision the club made. She had no experience nor background to become CEO…….

 

[BlueStevie35]

We had an owner who thought bringing out a dvd for finishing 7th was acceptable.

And he's worried about these diluting our identity.

The DVD thing is old hat considering every club brought out season reviews at the time regardless how they did that year

I think it was the title that gave the game away, though...

On paper she had the experience to be a CEO outside of football. The football side of things agreed. I can see why they did that as at the time I thought hello this may just work.

Again we go back to kenwright not liking change mosh micro managing stuff and just getting bad advice.

Exactly like the DOF role

 

[GN!]

...and we'll have pop and rock concerts at the new stadium...and?

we make money on the use of the stadium?

We will be unfalteringly and unflatteringly associated with Roma until such a time as Friedkin is owner of this club.

Good.

Big club Roma, be good if we can sit in their shadow and mop up their glow.

Liverpool are own by a fella who also owns a baseball team and there’s no issue there, I’m not saying it’s never mentioned but they haven’t turned into the Anfield Red Sox.

We are not, nor ever will be, Roma B.

Don’t forget we’ve been here before - Peter Johnson owned us and Tranmere at the same time until he was told “OI, YOU, NO” by the FA. We didn’t turn into Tranmere nor vice versa. The thing now is, perhaps we have a better standard of players to tap into from Roma.

I really don't get some of the negativity by some on here over the potential new owners.
My biggest worry at the moment is that it falls through. Only a few weeks ago we were in danger of being taken over by potentially the worst owners ever to take over a premium league club( including Moshiri). We now have a new owner with football experience, money to stabilise the club and excellent business credentials.
He hasn't maybe got the money of an Arab state but on the plus side he hasn't beheaded anyone recently.
I just want to see us run professionally and start to create our wealth with shrewd player sales and purchases and to keep to a strict wage structure buying players who want to come here and not just because we are paying them more than anyone else is offering.
Hopefully better times are ahead let's have some positivity.

 

[I can't even]

Those two statements right there.

Are you actually on heroin?

If he's on heroin may God have mercy on the forum if he ever gets off it.

I mean it’s up they’re but it’s a helluva list
