The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Blue peter]

People bought into his shtick that he was searching “night and day,” for a wealthy buyer - that he was doing us a great favour attempting to steer us through an underfunded decline.

Him finally finding a buyer - who just so happened to be willing to allow him to stay on in a position of power and influence - was, according to his cheerleaders, merely a coincidence.

Thinking back to it (and I could be wrong here) I’m not sure he ever used the term ‘buyer’, I think he used the term ‘investor’

Unless you never heard of the interview, Bill Kenwright was recorded saying they sold Rooney to pay off the debt. I mean, call me crazy but selling your clubs best asset for below market value and not spending any of it sounds pretty bad. The fact it happened, at least, 3 times is crazy that anyone supported him even half way.

I remember kenwright in a interview saying Wayne was on the phone to him crying wanting

Certainly hope so. We are now serving Tech, not the other way around. Those companies are a law unto themselves and the disadvantages they inflict outweigh the advantages they bring. They are destroying any semblance of social cohesion. They do they care about it as long as the dollars roll in and the tax bill is minimised.

I believe she resigned so the bases of the report is flawed

Whilst i accept Twitter is a special case. it was a loss making business and still got sold for circa $44bn.

Ultimately, no-one knows what profit TFG make or how desireable it would be should it come up for sale but it's quite clearly going to be worth considerably more than the annual Gross Revenue it generates.

Most businesses are sold on their profit (ebitda) not revenue.
Twitter being one of the most recognisable brands on the globe would attract a lot more value than most businesses.
But we are getting side tracked. Guess we are going to be richer but not completely wealthy in comparison to some of our rivals, especially given the two teams situation that need funding.

Yeah, I did consider the word choice myself when I was writing it for that very reason.

If anything, I was giving him the benefit of the doubt using ‘buyer.’

I think you’re right.

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.

nobody is saying it’s IMPOSSIBLE

It is the future, first thing to go should be the 3:00pm blackout.

Yes mate. We're seeing the Americanisation now in small shifts like the HT interview and dressing room access which I think will be phased into broadcasting next season?

You and I have spoken about this for years (the greedy eye of US investors in the PL looking to maximise broadcasting rights).

Tbh though I dont think 'Abba' style AI footy coverage is up my street or a lot of others! I'd swerve anything of that nature but some supporters these days might be tolerant of it.

In what respect mate? I have no idea if Apple Vision Pro is a good thing or failure or not.

I thought I read that we already had a naming rights partner agreed?
