I mean I'm just glad the club won't be owned by mobster cronies who want to see the world turned into a fascist hellscape we would never ever escape from, but that's just me

Isn’t he Californian?
Which is fairly un-Texan
He's from California lives in Houston, Texas apparently
It's Everton, file under yes/no/maybe.

So you’re saying he’s got a sort of multi-city aspect to his identity

Seeing it as a positive that they've got experience already at Roma - they won't make the same mistakes they made in the early years there. But also they have access to a European scouting network - hopefully they bring in 1 or 2 quality young players.

I’m curious how and why Roma will be allowed to spend but we won’t? How does that work exactly? You don’t see the City Group block Girona, Melbourne City, New York City, Lommel, Palermo or Troyes from spending when City do
I wouldn't try to ascertain Dave's logic here you'll get migraines and start crafting a conspiracy board soon after

The cheap and easy answer is the stadium.
Your follow-up should probably be to ask why Friedkin would prioritize Roma's stadium needs over fixing our squad when he would have a perfectly serviceable, brand new stadium. The hole in Roma's boat is just as large, they already refinanced their high-interest loans, and they don't have a new stadium to lean on for revenue. In principle, we're the easier problem to bring into compliance with the rules.

People who say things such as Roma will be ‘allowed’ to spend, and Everton will not, still have a fundamental misunderstanding of how modern football clubs work. If Everton are ‘allowed’ to spend, it means that the owners have managed to get the sponsorship and the wider commercial structure, as well as player trading in good order, and now the club makes enough money so it can ‘spend’. You can’t just launch money at football clubs anymore, you have to be smarter.
