The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[DanB90]

Did your girlfriend back Vici?

She told me that talk of an imminent agreement with Friedkin was wide of the mark. Moshiri kept moving goalposts etc.

And then you made her into an ex? You drive a tough agenda.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

People like him are the reason I have trust issues.

Him and my ex girlfriend.

She the one who told you we were signing Mata?

 

[jamieni]

Have no real concerns about him at all and that’s the best we as fans can ask for at this stage. Once you assume that all billionaires are knobs to some level and they all have to exploit other’s labour to gain that wealth, then there’s really not much else wrong with him that you couldn’t throw at any other football club owner.

Roma seem decent and frankly at this point all I want is a stable Everton that can grow and be sustainable. Seems like the right and most sensible man for the job. I would say that between him and MSD the fact that he’s not a fan of the club might help with deciding against the types of sentimental decisions we’ve made too much in recent times. Again, seems a smart move for all.

Yup. No complaints at all. Anyone who thinks an eccentric, Everton loving multi-billionaire is going to come along and plough the personal fortune into the club is living in cloud cuckoo land.

The thread title makes them sound like an American Folk duo

According to the I the MSP loan is now paid off and 40m working capital has been injected, and "there are plans to inject further funds into the club's playing squad" which suggests TFG may provide extra financing for transfers even while the DD and approval are pending.

Highly promising if so.

Which explains why we suddenly got linked with players and are lining up deals...

We are so close to ridding ourselves of moshiri and usmanov and the last vestiges of the bill kenwright era.

Keeping myself calm in case there are any hiccups but we could be finally turning a huge corner here!

@RealEFCInsider get in here right now you stinky bum hole.

The whopper is too busy trying to wind people up on Twitter. Deluded

Yeah quite possibly. I imagine the recruitment team will be chomping at the bit to make use of any capital they can get hold off after years of running on fumes.

Even a 20m injection to the transfer pot could equate to 60-80m of incomings with cost spread over 3-4 years and would have a significant impact.

I think the commercial deals we have announced so far and may still.be yet to announce, coupled with the PSR work around with Villa may just be the wriggle room we have needed to stave off PSR

Can’t see that until it’s all done and dusted, how long does it take usually for EPL approval for a takeover ?

I read somewhere between 12-16 weeks

To be fair the club always maintained the situation wasn’t as dire as the media portrayed. Maybe they weren’t talking nonsense for a change

It kinda depends... from what some sources are saying they have already fulfilled most conditions that the PL put on 777.. So i am hopeful it won't take long. I am optimistic it will be done before the end of this transfer window..

Why is this so funny

Some places say we aee less than £10mill from being PSR compliant... so here's hoping thats true and these lot can start the long road to getting us back where we belong.
