The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

I normally admire your work at arm’s length, but I’ll bite on this one:

Can you please explain to me exactly what our identity is, that you feel will be diluted?

Our singular identity. Now we're 'Roma's stablemate'; 'Roma the flagship's little tug boat'.

Id wager 90% of billionaires in the US outside of some social media/tech companies donate to republicans and I couldnt care less. Dells office was backing the Bell/Downing bid and hes a big republican donor, MSPs ownership is republican. Vici had unknown western billionaires, and Manoukin had a saudi. Sounds like you are out of perfectly agreeable billionaires, but then again I figured that was all of them.

So you're ok with the association?

Ok.

What is this singular identity mate? Or are you being literal? Like, you think people will be unsure as to whether or not we remain an individual football club, because we share ownership with another one? Because those people would have to be colossally thick.

 

[Blue peter]

We’re going to be like the footballing Borg

 

[mikewex]

Good lord, we're screwed. Nobody should ever listen to us.

The most accurate post on GOT ever.

Is this a genuine response?

You think Everton won't have their identity diluted when they become part of a stable full of football clubs?

Our name will be connected with those clubs whenever they are discussed in relation to their owner...which will be a lot.

No Dave we will still be Everton...what's our name !

So you're ok with the association?

Ok.

You are terrified of us being happy aren't you Chill out Dave and see how it rides out.

Just scaremongering mate, such a shame he's become a parody of himself.

It'll be diluted.

Of course it will.

How could it not. Everytime Everton play the association will be brought up. Everton/Roma, Roma/Everton...and goodness knows which else 'soccer ball' club this ghastly Yank will buy up.

Happy? What is thee to be happy about with some septic tank arriving to charge the club massive interest on loans made?

Do you really think this is any sort of positive step forward?

You're deluded.

Ok.

So how many billionaires as a percentage would you say are Angels Dave ? If you looked hard enough you would find something wrong about all of them.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Honestly the fact davek is making up reasons to be upset rather than giving real reasons makes me feel really good about this takeover

I’m sure City are mad worried about being linked to about six other clubs whilst they win multiple pots every season

I get the point you make he clubs will be linked together yes becuase of the owner but i am sure will have separate people board dof ect. Will have a similar model but will be different, with reports the guy has sorted of roma finacial problems by putting a better system in place

Its not a matter of then being angels.. Just someone coming in and investing i the team is what we want to hear. I don't hear that. I hear the reverse. More belt tightening.
