Can she take a head lock?
I'm glad you said "in due course", and it isn't a matter of how many you intend to buy, is it?
They're not sold on the open market and only by private arrangement or auction.
There may not even be any for sale - apart from Moshiri's 94.1% - as I once heard them described as being as hard to get as a golden ticket in Willy Wonka.
And they're priced at upwards of 3500 pounds, but I suppose you know that.
They’ve gone from being in the mud financially to turning a profit & making cup finals, I’m sure that’s a minority of fans who hold that view, many Roma fans on podcasts I’ve watched recently are happy with the job they have done
They also spent well over £100m just 3 seasons ago and then had a couple of seasons not spending loads. They have finished 6th in all 3 of those seasons. So it’s hardly hampered them.
Friedkin brings a similar passion to football as he does to aviation, according to one senior figure in the sport who knows him.They've gone from CL qualifiers under the previous regime to one where they finish 6th and 7th. And now they're losing interest in funding Roma's team with cash signings and are encouraging a moneyball approach.
Who knows, they could be preparing to ditch Roma for Everton...but what if they then ditch Everton for the next opportunity 4 years down the line?
Friedkin brings a similar passion to football as he does to aviation, according to one senior figure in the sport who knows him.
“He’s not doing it for fun and games. He feels every ball that’s kicked. When you’re with him and there’s a Roma match on, he’s got it on his phone,” the person said. “He’s a master of many trades [but] he knows what he doesn’t know. His instincts as to who the right people are in football are improving over time.”
In his short time as Roma’s owner, Friedkin has hired and fired Portuguese manager José Mourinho, reinforced the squad, decreased external debt and outlined plans to build a new stadium. Lina Souloukou, the Greek chief executive of Roma, previously told the Financial Times that the Friedkins “see themselves as custodians of an institution loved by the fans”.
Four years at Roma: he's had 3 managers, 4 CEO's, had a stadium plan scrapped and replaced it with a drawing of a new one on the back of a beer mate, and has now got himself into a world of trouble with Roma fans for handing them the new signing policy of loans deals and free signings.Friedkin brings a similar passion to football as he does to aviation, according to one senior figure in the sport who knows him.

No, lets just back them.That's all very well and good @Goat but lets hear some concrete plans from them for Everton Football Club. Commitments to good corporate governance (that actually benefits them too), things like that
Basically things Bill Kenwright did not do
See now you are just straight up lying, which is kinda sad.Four years at Roma: he's had 3 managers, 4 CEO's, had a stadium plan scrapped and replaced it with a drawing of a new one on the back of a beer mate, and has now got himself into a world of trouble with Roma fans for handing them the new signing policy of loans deals and free signings.
That's the reality.
No, lets just back them.
Not quite. But yes I know most of that.
By your friends you shall be known.No, no one is getting unconditional backing from me.
NO ONE.
We're not a cult.
Here's Roma's transfer incomings last season. It's why the Romans are up in arms.No, lets just back them.
See now you are just straight up lying, which is kinda sad.
"Friedkin dictated the guidelines on the market, asking for a change of pace compared to previous seasons.
The American chairman of the club instructed the team’s management to avoid signing players on loan, players over 30, and ones with extremely high wages.
From now on, Roma want to avoid spending on commissions, focusing instead on price-tags, preferably of young, quality players with lots of potential."
I'm sure you've been called a cult before now.No, no one is getting unconditional backing from me.
NO ONE.
We're not a cult.
By your friends you shall be known.
You dont know a single Roman.Here's Roma's transfer incomings last season. It's why the Romans are up in arms.
