The term "state of play" is very Kaveh Solhekol.

It needs to stop NOW.

Would you agree,Kind Sir?
I'm hearing from one of my sources.....
I'm led to believe....
I understand.......
A source close to the club....
I'm of the opinion....
Gets right on my nipple end that Kaveh bloke. To my knowledge he's never broken an exclusive, just regurgitated matters that are already in the public domain.
 
I think Vici Private Finance would be the best to take over the running of Everton FC, there is something obscure about about the firm in the running as favourites buy us.
Others have beat me to it, but your argument for Vici over Friedkin is the latter is pretty obscure?

There's literally tonnes of information him and his businesses.

Vici are a company founded a few months ago with a couple of people (allegedly) lurking in the shadows.

You may have reasons, but obscurity isn't one of them.
 

It's a low blow he's using.

The last refuge of the scoundrel.

I read today the Friedkin group read forums and fan sentiment.

Can only imagine what they'd think to this thread.

Hi Dan. 👋

Dave whilst I disagree with almost everything you have said on this thread I have to say that the original post is bang out of order

It''s disgraceful. He wanders into the thread and lays down some anti-semitism jibe that looks straight out of Tory HQ when they went after Corbyn.

He's utterly scurrilous.

If he doesn't retract it he'll be going on ignore. His choice...
 

Yankee, a native or citizen of the United States or, more narrowly, of the New England states of the United States (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut). The term Yankee is often associated with such characteristics as shrewdness, thrift, ingenuity, and conservatism. It was applied to Federal soldiers and other Northerners by Southerners during the American Civil War (1861–65) and afterward.

The origin of the term is unknown. The Oxford English Dictionary says that “perhaps the most plausible conjecture” is that it comes from the Dutch Janke, the diminutive of Jan (John). British soldiers are recorded using it as a term of derision in 1775. Mitford Mathews (A Dictionary of Americanism on Historical Principles [1951]) traced its rise, pointing out that no evidence of use of the word by New Englanders before the Battle of Lexington (1775) has been found.

Many fanciful derivations have been advanced. A mythical tribe of Massachusetts Indians, the Yankos (“Invincibles”), were said to have been defeated by brave New Englanders who then somehow assumed their name. Virginians countered with the story that the word means coward or slave and is derived from the Cherokee word eankke; no such word exists in the Cherokee language. These and many other theories about the origin of Yankee and of Yankee Doodle are reviewed and are all rejected in a comprehensive study conducted for the Librarian of Congress by Oscar G. Sonneck (1873–1928): Report on “The Star-Spangled Banner,” “Hail Columbia,” “America,” “Yankee Doodle” (1909)
As a historian, I'm in heaven reading this post. Nicely done, sir.
