The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Yarrgh]

Come in, sack Dyche, sign James Rodriguez, make him captain, manager and receptionist.

Job done and Everton win the lot.

You had me at Come

 

[MikeH72]

Totally agree. I want them to size up the operation properly before making any changes, then make some major ones in the summer. All that matters on the pitch this season is staying up. There’s no point wasting money in January if they’re going to change everything in the summer.

They are going to have to act long before the summer if we’re anywhere near the bottom 3 come December.

I suspect the new manager will want funds to spend in January.

Swerve stability. I am ready to get hurt again.

Think he,s Egypts richest man,and an American buisiness man.

[matty1878]

Well, if you could clarify the point that you are trying to make, that would be great?

that villa and newcastle wasn’t car crashes like us.

 

[matty1878]

don’t you watch us every week mate?

 

[goldfinchmule]

who now own them?

Yes mate.

 

[matty1878]

Yes mate.

so we’re richer

just crapper

Both of those clubs were relegated. They were car crashes like us, alright. The only difference was while our car managed to snag on the cliff ledge, theirs careened over the top into the Championship void below.

No idea on the 1st 1 but agree with the 2nd.

They were worse! And neither of them had the benefit of the uplift that is going to be realised from our new stadium.

I honestly don’t know why this Charlie Bucket mentality that you are espousing is so prevalent amongst Evertonians? The desire to maintain an inferiority complex is strong, even when making comparisons to the likes of Newcastle and Villa.

They’re two clear recent examples of how a change in management can bring about drastic change within a short time period. But Villa and Newcastle are both juggernauts, so whilst it was possible for them, it definitely won’t be possible for Everton according to some blues.

Howe and Emery aren't at those clubs without the current owners and the cash available to them. Yes they are limited by PSR, but before the ownership changes, both clubs were limited even further by cash.

 

[ultra]

execute that plan

I dislike Prentice, Kenyon and the other Kenwright minions too, but execution is a bit strong. Sacking will do

 

[ultra]

You will all turn on him.

Do you have this phrase on copy & paste?

You wheel it out every time a new owner, manager or player is anticipated.

And then the changes took place, and things started to… change.

They both went from being ‘car crashes’ to champions league qualifiers within 18 months.
