The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[peteblue]

I’m happy to be a volunteer taste-tester. Quality control etc.

Nice try, but that’s my job. It’s tough but someone has to do it …

Our pub business could do with an independent non-exec on the board, how much experience do you have in collecting glasses……..

That's not a role I'm interested in. Sorry.

If Friedkin Group offer me a non executive director role at EFC. I'd take it.

 

[Fonzy]

I must have missed their statement. Is there a link to it? I was happy that they appeared to have said nothing.

I meant more the official one from club…just saying Moshiri agreed to sell to their group and fans be updated in near future.

This is the sort of void which is normally filled with our Social Media puppet masters.

Where's the TLDR post about our finances and how the Friedkin bid will fail ?

Must all be on hols.

I think it is fairly clear that we are more likely to be hit by an asteroid than this will fail

They have a lot of capital available and it's all their money

This is nothing at all like the 777 Partners shenanigans. Which I think is causing some people to be paranoid over

In that case there was a PR campaign waged to enforce 777 Partners onto us all

Friedkin Group don't need to engage in hard selling.

The issue might not be about them and their finances but more about what they discover on our books. The Clubs bleeding money. Hopefully they believe they can resolve it.

they’ve paid of £200 quid mate and will know all the probs we are a huge potential that’s why they’ll own us

I sound impatient here but how long do these things take, it's all very quiet isn't it.

Would you rather it be very noisy like 777 was?

Not really. They're doing their checks. Hardly a 5 minute job is it

 

[Victus]

Yeah I didn't want to come across like that, it was just a genuine question as I have no idea how the process works.

It's the purchase of a half-billion-dollar business in one of the richest sports leagues in the world, not a second hand tv off craigslist. Friedkin will have his people going through every inch of this club with a fine toothcomb, turning over every stone. Could be weeks or even months if so required. Then there's all the Premier Leagues owners tests to deal with, which could also be any amount of time - assuming of course, he wants to proceed with the purchase of a business that is currently a financial mess.

He's obviously a serious guy, and conducts his business in private, not like 777 who had a public running commentary. It's a lengthy process, they're professional people, and I'm sure they'll update the world only when there is something concrete to report. Signs are positive so far though.
