The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Blue_Eagle]

An incredible day.

Progress is near.

A new manager is near.

A new mentality is near.

In this case I’m not sure they really do. Whether this works or not is firmly to be seen but really basically anything had to happen for us to move forward.

Hopefully it's a case of pay off all the debt and that becomes equity/share and the mosh hardly gets a penny back. Which would mean we are effectively debt free and interest payments will no longer be killing us.

talk they like southgate ffs
going from one loon to another

Christ, make it stop

 

[CielosGrises]

Just be happy to have somebody interested in running the club.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Blue blue skies ahead

Out of interest was this announced last time when they were doing the due diligence, before they pulled out?

Or did it not get as far as a ‘deal agreed subject to passing of tests’ etc?

No this is very different.

Subject only to PL and FCA approval

 

[Toffeeslam]

Finally we can get some leadership and direction

 

[davek]

Treat them like they're another Moshiri.

Look what they've been doing to Roma.

 

[Furey1878]

Absolutely made up, the club's future is secured so long as we do the business on the pitch this season

 

[ADT]

To think we almost had 777

Let’s hope this is a new era for the club and an end to the pantomime it’s become over the last few years under Moshiri

But Mosh was "only looking for investors" and "the club wasn't for sale" ... I perhaps may think of him as a liar now. Does anybody else have hounds to distrust him?

 

[vintage-toffees]

get the Toyota signs ready LOR !!

Last time was exclusive talks. This is a done deal (subject to PL tests which they will pass). It’s a big step further on.
