The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[jazzy]

….hopefully he gives Dyche the ammunition to get us in a better position, be good to see Dyche with proper support and a decent DoF.

Be better still to see him at Watford

Toyota are a super efficient business too.

So much so that many companies have adopted "The Toyota Way" as their business philosophy for their organised and lean approach

Don't mind if we do!

 

[blueboy72]

Nah, he is a good coach for us to get a new era started but I can understand why some might not like it.

I was joking because apparently according to grand old team, 95% of the fan base were happy with dyche at the end of last season

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Just saw this. Its very good news

There is no loadsamoney buyer coming forward and as far as all others go, I think TFG are probably as good as we can hope for, all things considered.

Textor makes me very nervous. I'd rather a bit of boredom provided we get operational, fiscal, and football stability on an upward curve.

Thing is about “loadsamoney” is as Newcastle are finding out PSR sets a hard ceiling on what you can spend so beyond a certain point owner wealth is more or less irrelevant- and TFG have more than enough to hit that ceiling.

Obviously you can raise that ceiling and the Saudis are trying to do so with commercial deals etc but even so they had to have a pretty quiet summer. We’ll be raising our own ceiling anyway with the stadium and hopefully TFG clearing out some debt repayment which could, hopefully and over a bit of time, put us back up there with the other “best of the rest” clubs in terms of financial wiggle room.

Everton takeover: Friedkin Group in advanced talks for deal

The Friedkin Group are in advanced discussions for a takeover of Everton after resuming talks with majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri.

That’s also going to disappoint 95% of the fan base

Certainly wouldn't dissapoint me.

Everything he said about United was correct.

He has an excellent track record and knows what he is talking about.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

Tell him to to stay out of that goddam Spitfire until he signs the deal ffs…

 

[brieverton]

Aren’t friedkin worth about 7 billion and his family group worth 17 billion

I think their group turnover last year was $13 bn.

Certainly they are resourced but even if there were no spending restrictions I don't see them as the type that are going to be profligate. Who can be these days outside the top six anyway.

I think they will be good for us though. We badly need investment in the squad and surely they see that. Just how that is done with the limitations in place and ensuring we are well run and with growing revenue.

Roma's CEO resigned yesterday after being verbally abused and threatened over the sacking of De Rossi.


Bring her over here Dan, there's won't be any of that from our fans for sacking Dyche after losing the first 4 games of the season.

She's actually a very good CEO mate, not the worst idea that

 

[bluesb1970]

'Toyota Stadium' makes me a bit sad though. Sounds like a Championship stadium

Nah, the stadium is so posh it’ll be called The Lexus stadium

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

TFG are pretty much hands down the least bad option. Still don’t understand how they could get around the 777 liability issue though

 

[bluestevon]

I'm interested to know what's changed for them in the last few weeks, other than the Textor stuff. Clearly monies owed to A-Cap/777 were a sticking point for them previously - has there been a breakthrough in the Leadenhall case or something?

777 countersued.

I've a feeling either the case will be dropped soon or am agreement has been made just not yet announced

 

[Blue_Eagle]

If Friedkin takes over and then immediately sacks Dyche,

That'll immediately win over 97.6% of the fanbase.

 

[Goodison87]

I don't think so, Friedkins were linked with Ragnick a while back weren't they.

Yes, I remember reading about that

Oh s**it...here we go again.
