The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Damo_1878]

I personally reckon they'll be having little to no involvement in our summer transfer business whatsoever

They'll have a veto on outgoing transfers which was likely agreed with Thelwell in advance.

Incomings, I don't think they would get involved as they have no need to as it's fully delegated to Thelwell.

I think Dyche is a smart guy, and extremely thoughtful. If he thinks Dele is a good player who can add something to the team, and Friedkin is on board as well, then I trust their judgement. If we can get a 65-70% Dele from his England National days, he will be in the 1st team.

20% would get in our midfield. He only needs 2 slide tackles a game and some arm flailing to the crowd and he could end up at Villa in a year or two.

No, they wont, stop peddling this lie.

It's not a lie. It's standard in any mergers and acquisitions.

Its at best a misguided assumption.

At worst a downright lie.

It isn't. I've been involved in due diligence myself as I've told you advising American firms acquiring American firms with UK subscidaries. Their legal counsel in charge of the acquisition had under their contract a veto on any activity involving the divestiture of assets during the acquisition. It's standard practice.

He's a non executive director at Everton my son, I think he'd know better than you.

God bless.

Ive just been to Greggs and even the woman behind the counter said its a lie.

I've bet you've been into Greggs. About a billion times @Goat.

Does anyone else get bad farts from eating the sausage rolls from there?

I wouldn't go disagreeing with Damo, I've heard he's basically on the board.

 

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

Get this done boys and start throwing around that dirty dirty American lucre.

@Goat and @Damo_1878

Valued posters as you both are, please don't start another fight on yet another thread. Let's all be friends here.

Maybe start your own joint thread in the ale house and shout at each other there, I'm sure @chicoazul will be happy to moderate the discussion

Thank you

As soon as he's bought his share, he'll have their ear. Apparently.

This is the biggest “If” since Rudyard Kipling started projecting the titles of his poems across the night skies of Gotham City.

Agree 100%, however, Dyche has already proven that he can take a player with a chronic injury history, and rehab him back to being a dependable starter. I think he can work that magic again, because I think he genuinely cares about his players.
