RS mates just whats appin Southgate will be our next manager, seems to be their standard response

 

[Bedfordblue]

Can he land a spitfire in Brantley Moore dock though?

He’ll use the beach in Formby, like his scene in Dunkirk.

Hold on a minute.

I wonder how poor old Dickie Masters feels about this..

*ainsdale - you don’t ruin formby beach young man.

 

[Smurph]

I haven’t felt this positive about Everton since we were 2 nil up after 87 minutes.

No mate. I'm vigilant from day one. That's the only way to come at this.

They are meddling owners.

They are here to financially exploit the new stadium and through it the fans.

They're the owners of multiple clubs and they'll place us in Roma's shadow...as will the world's media.

They are all wrong for us.

Well if you're right they're not here for the long term and probably looking for a ROI through a sale down the line which means they have to run the club properly and competently and keep us competitive and attractive. I'm OK with that for the next 5-10 years after Moshiri. Or, you're wrong. Time will tell

Was he linked to Roma or something? Why they saying that?

 

[bluestevon]

There will be a resolution on this.

Took less than a month from bid to finalised purchase as the new owner when he came back in the second time for Roma.

I'd expect we'll take considerably less - took the Roma owner 19 days to accept the offer, deal was ratified and Friedkin installed as the new owner a further 13 days later.

Wonder if Dan Friedkin or his son will oversee matters at Everton. The good thing is they will bring plenty of business acumen to the Club and start the long awaited overhaul of the upper echelons that we've been begging for and also start introducing and developing a world class commercial brand.

We've been behind the door for far too long in respect of promoting ourselves as a Club so it's now time to reinvent ourselves and polish up our famous 'Who are we...' mantra

 

[Bedfordblue]

They are all wrong for us.

But they are less wrong than Moshiri right now.
And we need someone right now.

I won't believe it until Merson accuses us of breaking the club purchasing window!
