The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

Hopefully the best news for a long time. It has to be better than the present shambles.

Years of Everton set you up for disappointment.

Sack Dyche on day one & hire a progressive manager (who is not moyes or southgate), who can actually improve players & I’m in.

I won’t hold my breath.

The board has Moshiri on it and Moshiri mate, so they be gone, we got an intermin CEO so he be gone, there will def Be changed at board level and Dyche will be gone as well

I don't think that will happen
Certainly there will be immediate appointees to the board, Friekdin appointees but I don't think the old board will be swept away completely.
I think any changes will be more gradual, Colin Chong for instance seems to have performed well as acting CEO.

Moshiri certainly will be gone although we don't know the detail of the deal yet, are there other investors involved?

I don't see an immediate change of manager either tbh.

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...

A key reason that any consideration of Rooney really at any point has been A HORRIBLE IDEA. Objectivity from fans in regards to beloved players is rightfully just hard to parse. I think some association is fine. Mikel is not an Arsenal legend. If Carsley was entertained I see it kind of similarly. But a certain tier of a past player I think creates such a noise even removed of your association with a club. The Lampard experience I honestly found infuriating. It was as if we were asked to be invested in his maturation as a manager. Removed of his player achievements he doesn't sniff really any of the jobs he got.

I'm sure the Friedkin's deserve some scrutiny for what's going on at ASR at the moment, but the ire if objective should likely be on them having hired De Rossi in the first place. Most managers have an unceremonious confrontational dismissal, he had not all that much experience. The likelihood this would end poorly or with fans pissed was at least a very likely possibility.

Only European trophy at United post Ferguson. First and only domestic cup final for Spurs since 2008. First European trophy for Roma for absolutely ages.

He does breed chaos and confrontation but frankly this club needs shaking up and it needs silverware so if he below himself out in 3 years and fell out with everyone but ended the trophy drought I’d be more than happy with that.

This.

The squad has had losing ingrained into it for so long that it needs an absolutely uncompromising winner in it now to create that chaos and boot the losers.

….seems a progressive DOF appointment, maybe they do their homework and will want their own management duo;

Hope is the key word is something that has been gone from this club for far to long

Newcastle are also being taken over by a corrupt state.

Freidkin is a very successful conglomerate owner.

In terms of turnover, they are on another level. Put the turnover of Liverpool and United together, for the last 10 YEARS, and you still.havent got close to what they have generated in sales on a single year.

is that in what they earn tho mate of they’re actual companies tho?

we’re liverpool and united is just football clubs

It will be great to see us being run as a business finally and getting some stability. I really hope there are no last minute hitches and the nightmare is finally over.

 

[matty1878]

The fans, in fact, continue to boycott the American ownership and their decision to dismiss De Rossi just four matchdays into the new season.

In addition to the Curva Sud’s announcement of their decision to remain outside the Stadio Olimpico for the first 30 minutes of the game tomorrow, supporters of the club have continued to decorate the city with banners threatening Roma’s top management.

They took only 8 point ta from their last 7 games at the end of last season basically the collapse cost them a CL spot they also lost in the semi final of the EL to Leverkusen. This season they started with 3 points from their first four matches.

More than rumours he fell out with several players near the end of last season and this season has had fights with a couple - rumours again one went beyond verbal.

I'd say owners that fire a manager whose form was 11 points from 11 games across two seasons from a CL calibre side are setting a high bar of what they expect.

We sacked Harvey way back when btw Dave but we aren't mental like the Roma fans.

Indeed.

It is like they have an invisible sign hanging over Goodison….”Abandon hope, all ye who enter here…”

Everton about to undergo Friedkin's Exorcism.

 

[hoppy]
