The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Nymzee]

Based on Lampard's comments about watching Maupay in the CL when he was with Derby he might have been his signing but that could've just been something positive to say.
Beto does look like a what we can get for what we have kind of signing alright.

A clean sweep would be good. Need a complete renewal to shake the culture of mediocrity that has led to below mediocrity

Err he ain't ever played in the CL my man.

Interesting that Friedkin is on the European Club Association board.

A proper heavy-hitter.

Executive Board

The ECA Executive Board is composed of 24 Full Members, as well as four Subdivision Representatives.

One of the best indicators of our decline over the last 35 years is just how invisible the club has been in European football politics terms. We were, literally, left behind.

Josh Wander was on the ECA...

Ha!

Is it too late to delete my previous post?

I did quite like the audacity of big Johnny T but you just knew that it would be a rollercoaster and could end in chaos....again.

This feels safer , perhaps a bit more boring but a chance in time to return to the top table once again.

TFG people landing at John Lennon then learning Micheal Keane is still playing for us.

 

[jazzy]

Is there any foundation to @Connor suggestion that Bell and Downing are coming on board with TFG? What's the source for this one?

No matter how long it takes, These guys will likely start having some influence in the running of the club immediately and i think we will start to notice that in the forthcoming days and weeks. Its all good.

Yeah I’d be surprised if they didn’t get some boots on the ground even if it’s in an “observational” capacity. 2-3 months is a long time to wait for formal approval and they’ll want to have some informal directing hand. For example if results don’t improve they won’t want to wait until Christmas to replace a failing manager when it has such an enormous impact on the value of their investment.

hopefully they’ve got time to hit the ground running this season and have their strategy ready (if it isn’t already) for activity required moving forward.

I would imagine they will appoint a new CEO and board from day one. That's what they did at Roma.

Unless things stay as bad as they are on the pitch, or heaven forbid worsen I think they'll hold fire on Dyche. But they'll be in on the ground from now. I really hope results improve so that it isn't as much of an issue as it currently is.

Be interesting to see what they make of Thelwell. I would not be surprised if eventually they appointed someone who had oversight of both Everton and Roma as a group sporting director.

i have it on mattys authority

we will be sold soon.

take of it what you will lads

HAIL THE NEW ITK

At least they’ve had experience of running a big club in Roma. Hopefully any teething troubles they had there (if any) won’t be repeated at Everton. They can hardly run the club any worse than Moshiri and the people he employed.

Exactly.

I doubt these guys will wait too long for on-pitch improvement. They are not going to jeopardise their investment by fiddling while Roma burns and we are relegated to the Championship.
