@Goat, how many company acquisitions have you been involved in?

Friedkin Group will have a veto on any asset sales, right now. They will. As part of the acquisition agreement

Mate with all due respect you've yet reveal what line of business you're in?

So until you put your cards on table for all we know you're a paper boy posting The Wirral Globe round Rock Ferry.

Outgoings they will have a veto say over as part of their acquisition exclusivity agreement

When buying a company, you don't allow what you're buying to sell off the assets to another company do you? You have control over any asset divestments

The Friedkin Group will already have a veto say on sales.

Recruitment less so. They don't need to be involved there as Thelwell will be setting the strategy for acquisitions

But it’s our money, surely we should all get a say……

Still astonished they had them sending emails to the entire clubs database.

@GrandOldTeam this is an interesting observation on just the huge difference in style of initial and follow on communication

The differences are enormous from the initial press statements, the fan emails and then relentless PR and journalist leaks, telling people what to think about 777 Partners like "give them time" appeals for "calm".

With Friedkin Group there has been none of that

It's been very focused

Comments only when needed to

@AS Roma_fan can you help with this?

Did prices increase? Or was it Mourinho buzz and UEFA competition?

Actually, they cut tickets' cost in the first season after COVID. Now they're slowly increasing. The demand seems to be unaffected though. Last week they decided to stop the subscriptions at 38k, fearing they couldn't profit enough from single tickets sale during the season. The Olimpico is always sold-out since the end of COVID.
Even in the late 90s the numbers were lower and for sure you didn't have a sold-out stadium even for coppa Italia matches on Wednesday against Serie C or Serie B teams.
Difficult to say why it's happening in the era of social networks, with a team of average quality and a ground that hasn't improved a bit in terms of visibility (athletic track 😞) and accessibility since 1990.

No, that can’t be true, he’s also buying Everton shares, obviously not stating the number nor from whom, so he must be legit…..
