The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

(Just checked film, bottom alive)

Nah, he dies at the end in the car, doesn't he? After the whole speech about "welcome to the..." part?

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

Good.

Now get in and get rid of every single leech who has attached itself to this once great club and get people in who will get this club up and running and back to where we belong.

This club needs more than it's fans to keep it alive, so get the right people in and the fans will be onside with them.

Amen to this, and hopefully an academy which isn't just a place for ex-players to get a start in coaching. Academies should be multi-million pound businesses in their own right and should be treated as seriously as the first team setup.

New ground, new ownership, new broom. Finally.

Negative

This is moving too quick don't they know I'm at work

 

[Goodison87]

Does this mean that ‘the Esk’ and other financial doom charlatans will crawl back to where they came from?

The whole thing brought out a few weirdos from the shadows. Who was the one who had info from his data room that the TFG deal was off? He was quite funny..

 

[TonyT65]

Nothing gives me more confidence that this will be a success than this statement

Yep .... its right up there with new stadium "never gunna happen". davek is just GOT's restrictor of optimism.
Me...... I'd just rather have a little bit of hope once more

 

[NathDogg]

Get it approved asap masters, you corrupt little blert.

We as fans need it mate, I'm sick of the incompetence, the "stick with us narrative" from people who aren't good enough in their role to ask Everton fans to keep going to the well to fetch the water. I'm sick of them. I want these to come in and one by one strip every single under performing dosser from this club.

With the right people, professional people, armed with a fantastic fanbase and a new stadium, there's a solid foundation for us all to start from.

I don't want ANYONE who was directly or indirectly involved with Everton via Kenwright or Moshiri to be kept in position as there's not one of them who would be confident enough to be held accountable for their piss poor performance and believe they'd retain their job.

100%.

Long term I think there's a bright future, but also going to be some more pain to go through on the pitch I suspect before we see a marked improvement.

It is however clearly a step in the right direction, as the alternative was near certain financial abyss.

Amen brother

T

Spot on.

This club needs a clean sweep from top to bottom , the football equivalent of an enema.

New CEO
New CFO
New DoF
New Manager.

Can't wait for the revolution.

It also needed the above 5 or more years ago…

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Just jib Dyche off please.

 

[lieneverton]

Does this mean that we can start to be positive again?

From the shitshow of prospective owners, Friedkin definitely looked to be the 'least worst' option.

I'm of this view. Pleased we are seeing the back of Moshiri obviously, and hopefully with that anyone connected to him, but cautious to think we've suddenly got a knight in shining armour. Partly because it'd be naive to think that generally, but partly because, yknow, Everton. Proof is in the pudding, because as mentioned people don't chuck hundreds of millions into a club out of goodwill.

Yes, like the Barbara Woodhouse of GoT!

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

Well it's 35 years since a charismatic theatre luvvie waltzed in and pressed PAUSE on Everton football club, but we might just have pressed PLAY again.

 

[PeregrineT]

Hopefully this means they pay off all of the loans. With the new revenue from BMD, and not having to pay interest each year we could then spend 80m+ more each year and still just break even.
