The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

I agree Phil.

777 felt very wrong this " feels" a better fit but apart from Davek , who knows?

The group have the money, experience and business acumen so the portents are decent.

The fact that Dave is so vehemently opposed to the deal just reaffirms its going to be a sound investment endeavor in my mind lol

Only a Spiv would pay off an outstanding loan and inject working capital into a club.

Well 777 injected money into the club and you couldn’t get a bigger set of spivs if you tried .
( it wasn’t their own money like , but still …)

Would be great to be run by competent business people. I've not seen Everton run well, ever, really. That's a huge thing for me, because of the massive upsides that go with it. It's ridiculous to reflect on how we've been mismanaged for decades.

Stupid Yank devil, he can keep his working capitol, we dont want no stinking hand outs.

Take it and throw it on the ground!!

Is the 777 loan the one that these new guys have supposedly paid off? Or was it the RMF one?

Absolutely spot on. Not once during the PL era can we say we've been run in a way that is fitting of Everton Football Club.

The only time we've come remotely close was becisse Kenwright fluked a David Moyes to save his bacon and Moyes was a sensible manager overall when it came to spending.

To have one group sink 200m into the club without owning it us pretty amazing, to have a second do the same is pretty mind-blowing. I bet the contract this time is a bit tighter just in case...

Neither. The MSP one I believe.
