The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[davek]

Nothing much. All quiet. @davek how's things with you?

Fine mate.

Looking forward to owners with the bollocks and cash to own this club rather than the shower we just dodged a bullet over.

Thought it was too good to be true but sat tight hoping it would all work out. We’ve made it far too complicated for anyone looking to take us over and it’s quite ridiculous, can see this ending really bad for us.

 

[PhilM]

That may be true but this is still a disaster

If credible investors will not buy the club then we have no good medium to long term prospects.

The club need to be fully transparent with us and say what happens next

To put it simply, the complex and less than transparent debt we have is what is going to make any purchase difficult as there are too many parties.

Must of been a some recent info that’s come to light. You don’t pay off loans/fund a stadium and arrange a friendly with your other club then decided nah.

I would agree - is there any chance this is brinksmanship? Being willing to walk away unless Moshiri gives a little more?

 

[grandjoeblue]

At ease everyone.

This probably means we're ok for a few months then we'll need more monthly loans to get through the rest of the season. Worrying.

 

[efcste97]

ACap are bills 'mates' right

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

How short is the short term?

Tomorrow

 

[AndyRJ]

It appears they don’t want to own the club.
Maybe they will temporarily defer repayment when it comes due?
But it’s clear they have no wish to own the club under current conditions.

By all accounts due to the debt we owe to 777. They may come back to the table when that is resolved?

If the loan falls due and things still aren't sorted then you would expect they would extend the payment date. They aren't going to want to take control of the club while that is still ongoing.

Ignore him mate he's pure and simple come back here to gloat, " oh look i was right all along... "
But Dave the club could be finished, "that doesn't matter, I was right."

 

[badloaf]

Gloat?

I told you about 2 months ago this lot were spiv car salesmen.

Nowhere near the right people to own this club.

Thank God they've been found out for the no marks they are and we can get a bigger and better owner in.

I don’t care what you think about the Friedkins. I just want to know what you think of Patterson’s chonky new physique.

 

[davek]

Hope you're right, Dave. It's just getting really frustrating and worrying now. Moshiri needs to get better gone ASAP.

We're fine.

We have our PL status and a state of the art stadium. Friedkin was never big enough for this club...


...IMO he's used us in relation to getting something going at Roma with their proposed stadium from Rome.

We often get used by chancers and this is just another one of those episodes.

Who are these bigger and better owners mate?

No one’s going to be able to cos of the legalities over the 777 deal

 

[Toffeepot]

Everything suggests that this is really bad. The blind optimism isn’t helping anyone lad

Fair enough. It's not blind optimism though, it's just rinse and repeat from my point of view.
I'll keep it to myself then if people prefer to delve into an existential crisis I get optimism can be annoying at times like that

 

[PhilEFC]

Guy on X called [Publication is blacklisted], blacklisted on here cos he called a lot of our transfers and manager changes in as not happening when they did but for once has been right about TFG not taking over

Btw @PKwalnuts this situation is nothing to be laughing over so knock it on the head

Think that’s him on here mate.
