The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Marius57]

Maybe we have backed out because an “alternative option”has come forward, maybe from the Middle East or something

He says entirely with little hope but not wanting to despair

 

[Croker]

An absolute farce from start to finish. A mob with pitchforks and torches is obviously needed to get Moshiri out - he doesn’t seem to be interested in leaving otherwise.

 

[trueblue84]

Well look it can’t be 777 anymore coz they’ve been stripped of football assets.

So I wonder who next?

 

[JimmyK]

Fire sale incoming.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The fact a very credible investor like this has pulled out of the deal is extremely concerning.

Clearly there are serious issues with the clubs finances and I've no idea what happens now

 

[Pabbers]

Bombshell this.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Its bad news mate, has to be a risk for them not to take over, what was known publicly was bad before the process, but if they've found something worse in Due Diligence - im concerned.

Only hope is that they knew enough to be happy to become a massive lender and pay off MSP, Bell etc. and this is more a commercial decision from their side.

Better not be scuppered by other lenders again.

Grim. Unless Mosh goes sod it and lashes his personal fortune at the next 2 years so they he can generate a return down the line, which in itself makes me feel sick, it’s hard to see a quick way out.

Love him or loath him, the responsibility Dyche has had on him and will now continue to have to save this club purely on the pitch is enormous.

Hopefully his starting bid is 93 million Ugandan dollars.

I've said repeatedly on here, I think whoever owns Everton is intentionally kicking the can.

Like so;

The reason why I think this is based on how long they allowed 777 to drag on for, despite plenty of interest.

The wording of that statement suggests Moshiri involved in games being played IMHO

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Hate to say I told you so but ……
Perhaps administration is the only chance we have of emerging from this mess after all?

 

[Mr Happy]

Endless

 

[OnlyTheBestIsGoodEnough]

From the statement I have read we now owe the Friedkin Group money when they paid the MSP debt off so that will need to be paid back

 

[thorney33]

Doesn't necessarily mean there's something dire gone on behind the scenes.

Hi, I'm Everton. We must not have met before.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Also Moshiri out

Now

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Moshiri is a complete joke - the worst 'accountant' of all time
