The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[GrandOldTeam]

Oh come on now. You don't build a stadium without the means to finish it

Unless of course you're this lot

A "distressed seller" in Moshiri

£505 million now over £850 million

Only just got the finance in place due to incoming new owner, coming in

If I'm selling my house, the estate agent could say I'm a motivated seller.

It's all part and parcel of the game.

Doesn't mean a lot really, IMO.

And you know this how genius?

From the opening day programme notes

Writing in his programme notes for Everton’s opening fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion, Chong, who is also the club’s chief stadium development officer, said: “I know there has been a lot of talk about the future ownership of the club. While the club and The Friedkin Group jointly confirmed that we would not be progressing with their potential takeover, our relationship is still a positive one and their £200m loan helped us to finalise our stadium funding.

So you are calling Colin Chong liar? Don't hide behind the "misleading" bs. Be man enough to stand behind your claims.

Now we know @ashwuk76

Written in the programme notes @GrandOldTeam that he quoted above

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Misleading statements at the very least have been made @GrandOldTeam

Not the first time

He's a CEO isn't he?

Game is the game.

We've got Chong in the Forum Safari @chicoazul

I claim the trophy @GrandOldTeam

Confirmation then that Colin Chong did mislead fans and shareholders, the stadium was NOT FULLY FINANCED

Despite denials on here to the fact

Its been admitted now

You should have said!!!

This forum is made about 80% more boring by you repeating the same 6 things ad nauseam

One thing I would say is our funding for the stadium has been very unorthodox to say the least.

Least people know now. They misled everyone

Mate I think at this point no one is particularly bothered.

Let's just look to Bluer skies and have some positivity.

He's incapable.

He's like a demented dog with a bone

If you don't hold executives at the club to account they will continue with this sort of thing

It's part of the culture

"Positivity" should never equal delusion

The truth is important

Ultimately there was never any funding in place.

We've managed to cobble it together along the way,which may I say is pretty impressive ha.

Didn't Davek get a thread ban for monopolising a topic?

I bet most of the posts on this thread come from one source (and all probably say a variation of the same thing)

Am choosing positivity/delusion in this instance because recent years have been nothing short of a nightmare.

Colin Chong said there was a "plan" and "fully funded". Not the case.

But no doubt he'll go on the media and claim we are all wrong again like he did over 14 January 2023 and headlock gate

Utter shambles

There may have been a plan but Friedkin taking over has altered it.
