The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[bicycleheader]

As Everton fans we'll know that we can't trust this news until they've owned us for 3 years or more.

How I feel

I’ll enjoy moments when things start to happen, like confirmation of loans cleared, commercial deals signed, firm interest in signings suggesting we can spend up to whatever our PSR limit is, possibility of a sane plan of a managerial replacement amongst other appointments

But overall I’ll be sceptical for quite a while. I don’t trust this club to do anything right.

American billionaire's agreement to acquire a majority stake in the club marks the beginning of a new chapter after a desperate few years

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.

Yes I hope they have a corporate gaffer day pencilled in

Will our debt get wiped out and we can spend 1 billion like chelsea were allowed to?

No but going to be a hell of alot better by the look of it by getting alot of the loans off the books. Think still be some debt but well a hell of alot healthier when you look at the books then. Hard give a real timescale but well even at the end of this season us still in the league ect should see more postive trend in the books. With an upscale far easier with the loans out of way, will be more who can explain more add in a possible naming deal for the stadium aswell.

Thankfully you can actually polish a turd, believe it or not.

You can't polish a turd but you can roll it in Glitter.

I love how Chelsea were 'punished' by the FA into selling to another multi billionaire group of investors who were then allowed to spend a billion and a half on players and not worrying about breaking any financial rules. What a simply terrible punishment, how I pity them.

He is currently trying to hack into Textors bank accounts to prove to everyone that he isn't a billionaire.

On the source too apparently.

Glad someone listened to me when it was all Textor this, Textor that

Someone bell Friedkin again.
