The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

You're using THAT as the reason you are against him mate.

Give it a break for a day.

The Italian ultras idolize Rossi and in no way shape or form is it based on anything besides that.

De Rossi at Roma would be like Rooney managing Everton: based on nothing except pure sentiment. Roma are massive underachievers. They aren't in the same league as Inter, Juventus, and Milan in terms of success - and they really should be - so they are left, not unlike us, with nothing more than sentimental heroes.

De Rossi has ZERO managerial record. He was appointed on name and sentiment alone.

Sacking him might upset the locals, but it's a no-brainer. And it seems to have had a desired effect already if last night is anything to go by...

Aside from this coming from out of nowhere (and I think being the best group of the interested parties) the timing is not bad either. Theres a decent stretch till january to sort out any issues in the takeover. Assume they get in soon they can set up a backroom etc a month or two before the window opens. frustrating Dyche is rightfully under pressure but with the team relatively healthy and with a favorable schedule from now to november, Friedkin can have a little cushion likely weighing replacements. Regardless of frustrations I think we can muster some points over that stretch maybe even to the point where we are out of the bottom three come the new year or at least december. That said it will be completely acceptable to replace him regardless of the form by then but we may be able to operate with a little less panic in the january market.

Lot of interesting questions. State of Thelwell who they may favor with DoF. Do they simply place Lina Souloukou with us lol post quitting. We shall see
