See 777 pretty high up there too.

But to be fair that money was probably just being shuttled from another club instead of actually being invested lol

Didn't really want to mention them, still can't believe they thought they had a chance of taking us over

No that money is old people's pensions from Wisconsin.

Does anyone think they will get rid of dyche once they take over the club?

This season? I would be shocked if they do. The first thing they probably want is stability and to get to talk to the people in the building, see who they should keep and who to let go. Next year everyone is a possibility to go.

Pretty sure he changed it to a karaoke version if Bad Moon Rising.

They changed the lyric to Blue Moon Rising, it didn't last more than a couple of games. I have no recollection to running out to Simply The Best, but it was one of them so gs the Everton DJ played ALL THE TIME.

Yeah nice one . that was the other tune I was thinking of I’m sure they had the ‘new’ lyrics on the screen .

Almost certain we came out to 2001 space odyssey as well

To be honest they've been ok so far for Genoa. They bought the club in semptember '21 - so no time to build the team - and were immediately relegated, but they got back in Serie A in just 1 year and this year they finished 11th. Not bad.

Clearly, TFG is on a completely different level. And of course Everton was going to be too much for 777.

Moshiri terrified me more for talking to them and continuing to talk with them for so long, I mean what happened to back ground checks ?

Took you guys a lot of money to turn you around but it's all for the better

We had massive debt. They restructured it and then repaid partially. I don't know the details though.

I think the money that was offered clouded his judgement

They moderately bankroll anybody, including Biden...

The democrat donations are only more recently. There is much more republican donations over the years.

Not that it matters what political party they are. We have had a Russian oligarch in charge while sections of the fan base have been pining for Middle Eastern human rights violators.

I think the fact the investment has proved to be successful is all the details you need
