The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[ashwuk76]

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.

Pretty sure they will cake walk the tests..

Good news I think

Don't see any reasons they won't get league approval so hopefully will be done by end of the year. Sooner the better.

@Goat "No one wants to buy Everton".

Another calamitous prediction.

Nobody wants a DRE Prostate examination sometimes you just gotta take one for the team!!!

Treat them like they're another Moshiri.

Look what they've been doing to Roma.

That's the spirit mate.

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

The sacking of Mourinho and now De Rossi suggests we're in for more of the same meddling culture.

 

[chopper6]

No this is very different.

Subject only to PL and FCA approval

Ok cool. Was trying to remember if there was a similar announcement last time round.

So can he still pull out?! Now they’ve agreed terms?

That didn’t take long…never change Dave

 

[blueloon]

talk they like southgate ffs
going from one loon to another

Never understood why loons get such a bad press myself

 

[ToffeeTim]

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?

Looks like an agreed deal to me so much further on. Only league approval left as a final step by my reading of it.

 

[davek]

That's the spirit mate.

Look what happened last time when a meddling owner took charge...and this lot are more of the same.

Winning cups

Highly , highly unlikely

Objectively they have done a lot of positive stuff TBF, Dave. But you are right, let them show us why we should get behind them.

I am more just relieved in that I think financially at least we'll be a lot more secure. I didn't ever truly believe we'd go into admin or anything but when all you read about is the club slashing costs and increasing it's debt, it does make you lose a bit of sleep worrying about it.

I mean they can always pull out.. but why would you after going this deep...
