The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Nymzee]

Well yeah, I listed them as the good examples but we arent going to be owned by an energy drink or oil state.

The bad examples would be Chelsea, RedBird, 777, Textor, MSP, forest, Bournemouth who all either botch it or have virtually no interaction between themselves.

Well this can't be an example of it going poorly?

How's Chelsea's example bad? They only loaned 2 players to Strasbourg and both got games. They also used Strasbourg to sign players for them like Sylla to manipulate it financially. I'd say Textor isn't going badly since Palace had a number of players loaned out to Molenbeek this year.

One thing I will say is it's not advised coming on here and starting a post with "am hearing" unless you've got a comprehensive answer to why you're hearing anything ha.

I am hearing a lot more now that I’ve had my ears syringed ……..

 

[Nymzee]

Ok, you cant sustain your point.

I understand.

I can, I'm just not wasting time typing out a load of footballer's names for you since you'd never, ever accept it as real.

 

[peteblue]

Waiting for the time when i log on to this thread and it's jumped 100+ pages, not 8 just pages..

It’s the sure sign that we’ve moved out of Limbo and into a form of Heaven……

Sure I read Dan F did the Spitfire dogfight scene in the film Dunkirk inc the beach landing.
He was also a producer on it iirc. Was probobly his plane so got the gig or they couldn’t use his toys.

He will be able to fly his own "Friedkin Out" banner over a game.

@dublinbluenose Errr mate?

Not to speak for Dub Blue Nose, but apparently there is a 40 mill LOR bill that needs to be paid this week and expectation if Friedkin will pay it as part of the deal.

So there be a dead line of sorts to get this done this week.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Ok, you cant sustain your point.

I understand.

Didn't you make a sweeping claim such as multi-club ownership was a disaster for "THE MAJORITY" of clubs involved, without elaborating on that point? And now you're getting snarky with @Nymzee because he won't itemise player transactions between clubs?

Be the change you want to see in the world, Dazzler.

 

[Goat]

Roma spending the Branners money already.

 

[Frenk]

This is a great deal. Can’t wait for it to be completed and to watch those suffering to suffer even more as they squirm and realise they were wrong about this guy.

 

[dublinbluenose]

Who from mate...I don't doubt you by the way.

All announcement at Everton take place on a Friday afternoon. Tis tradition.

 

[davids]

There are no guarantees in life beyond a certain death. There is risk in every option we face and every decision we take. Friedkin is arguably the party with the most track record and deepest pockets bidding for us. The least uncertain option available. There are no angelic Socialist Evertonian billionaires waiting in the wings so if Friedkin does not meet your risk appetite who or what will?

Where did I mention any preference on my part, just pointed out every one of the alleged buyers is an unknown quantity. And nobody knows their true intentions after they buy.

All announcement at Everton take place on a Friday afternoon. Tis tradition.

And only after a trestle table can be rustled up.

 

[davek]

Why would anybody take the time to compile a list which you would just ignore and go on a different tangient?

Do you own research, back up your own points, so far all you have done is aim xenophobic slurs at Americans and stamped your feet about Roma.

Yank is not xenophobic. They call themselves it.

 

[davek]

Dave some thing like hobson's choice. What can we do ?

e can at least acknowledge that this is not the ideal outcome to our search for new owners.

 

[davek]

I can, I'm just not wasting time typing out a load of footballer's names for you since you'd never, ever accept it as real.

Ah right, yeah. That'll be it...
