This is a helpful tool mate. Also we can play a little game of guess the day that it will be completed. I reckon day 72/90.

Fiver a go, all proceeds go to Jimmy Martins' charity

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I'm convinced and the entire point is. Without Friedkins this stadium wouldn't be getting finished without selling more players

Friedkins have had to come in and clear up the mess

After one of the most unorthodox and shambolic stadium build finance plans in history

The most shambolic stadium build finance plan in history goes to The New Mestalla...Date started 2007

Ours has been a dream compared to that.

When Moshiri come in - nothing changed.

It was something I mentioned a fair bit. Months after he first come in, and example later;

The niggling concern/doubt I have is the lack of changes at operational/management level. I'm like a stuck record on that but as far as I can see, which is likely to be pretty limited, he's only brought in Ryazantsev and he promoted Robert Elstone and Denise Barrett-Baxendale to the board.

To use a poor analogy - it feels a bit like we have people used to shopping at Iceland, trying to shop at Waitrose.

There was reports that he can't exercise above 49.9% until a spade is in the ground on the stadium. Perhaps when that happens, Woods/Kenwright move on and we sweeping changes with new Moshiri business partners/management.

I never understood it.

I'll never understand it.

I speculated was there something preventing him making changes. I wondered was there an agreement Kenwright had to remain as Chairman with board decisions?

I wondered whether maybe Moshiri felt it didn't matter as he wanted to make all changes and the board was just a token setup - I mean, last year he was still banging on about the board being local. Were they just lip service?

We had a Director of Football promoted to the board - "responsible for the club's "whole footballing strategy". He's been crying since leaving he didn't really have control.

Anyway, appreciating this thread is about Friedkin - I'd expect to see Friedkins make a raft of sweeping changes and so recent press reports suggesting that work has begun isn't surprising.

I was always under the impression Moshiri didn't make sweeping changes at board level when he came in because he didn't really have a clue what being a football club owner meant. He always felt like that young boy who'd just inherited his deceased dad's corporation.

TFG have lucked out in the sense that we did a full strategic review of operations at the club about a year ago - its in the drawer there Dan.

Mark Douglas piece is behind a paywall, I could only glance at parts of it.

He is suggesting that there will be little to no crossover of roles between Everton and Roma. Which would be good news. Also says they will be using a search agency for the bigger jobs.

Based on that its unlikely that Lina Souloukou will be in the running for CEO and they will appoint someone fresh.

I think there is something in that local knowledge piece as it relates to the PL and probably more broadly English football - its, its own beast.

Take Marcel Brands, i think he struggled domestically here working with clubs, signing domestic players and our ability to sell and loan players out particularly domestically drastically improved when Thelwell came in and Walsh wasn't actually to bad at it either.

I think there is something in that local knowledge. Maybe its networking, local knowledge, relationships and being known.

Probably what we need is a blend as why we do need people at the club enmeshed with the game domestically we also need to expand horizons and tap different markets - not just in recruitment but also commercially and in terms of merchandising and distribution and also brand projection.

The fact that Bill Kenwright was never removed (and whilst the club was in debt to Rights and Media Funding to £200 million) should tell people everything.

It is the people leaving in the next months as much as incomings I look forward to seeing.

Particularly in the Communications Team.

For every individual removed that was hired by Bill Kenwright, we will be a step closer to being ran as a proper business

Lina Souloukou does not specialise in English law and I think her coming here is highly unlikely.

That was one of two Denise Barrett-Baxendale did. One in 2018 when she arrived and that one.

We lost hundreds of millions of pounds and won the square root of ... naff ... all in that time

Would love to know the cost of those strategic reviews mate, actually i probably wouldn't.

Colin Chong and the club have persistently misled people.

The cost is as I've stated. It's well over £800 million and it'll be over £900 million by the time it's fully kitted

They misled people all the way along. From the Denise Barrett-Baxendale "fixed cost" nonsense to now. I'm not sure why people aren't understanding this or keep disputing it

The Premier League Appeal Board said it was £800 million committed last year!

Premier League confirm real cost of new Everton stadium after Moshiri confusion

New stadium at Bramley Moore Dock was projected to cost approximately £500m but Premier League judgment has said that price of new ground has already hit £800m
