Don't forget shipping our stadium over to Rome.

Why does everyone think he chose us? The stadium is on an estuary and ready to go. A few swift blows from a good size mallet on the fan plaza and off it'll crack, bobbing into the Mersey.
Prob pissed that their Dan Meis designed stadium hasn't been built yet, and ours has. Easy solution, buy us and take it to Rome.

I loved that design he did for Roma. So different to ours, and very much vibing on the Colosseum.

It also proves the guy considers context and tries to design stadia for the club, not just what he thinks looks cool.
 
...and Everton will be far from the forefront of Friedkin's investment plans...investment in the team that is.

He'll oversee a continuance of sales of our better players to pay off interest payments in some idiot belief we can also buy cheap youngsters who'll keep us i the PL.

Dave. How on earth can you say this?

At Everton, he'll have ownership of the stadium that he does not have at Roma

At Everton, he'll have the highest tv revenue deal and profile in world football, that he does not have at Roma

The fact you're making these unfounded claims is just ridiculous.
 
The term "septics" for Americans comes from the fact that during long shipping voyages the american navy never used limes/lemons to stave of scurvy and were therefore susceptible to it.

Its also why Americans call British people "limeys" because the British navy issued limes to its sailors.

Hence, the brits calling americans spetics and the Americans calling the brits limeys.

Somewhere along the line its been absorbed into cockney rhyming slang apparently.

"Septic" as in "Septic tank" is cockney rhyming slang for "Yank".

It would not be used in the north of England, until you mentioned it, I had never heard of it.

It's not a term anyone in the north west, Merseyside or Liverpool would use.

Limeys is well known, on the other hand. Because it is true. The Royal Navy did use limes to allow sailors to avoid scurvy which we now know is vitamin c deficiency.
