This seems like a good thing, no?

Happiness isn’t for everyone

Are You Addicted to Unhappiness?

People who are "addicted to unhappiness" tend to find reasons to be miserable, focus on the negative, and compete with others about who has the toughest life.

Yes, it'll be good if they hand us that stability in the short term. We need a breather from crisis.

However, they are here for the stadium and sweating that to the max.

IMO, conflict is baked into this deal: the fans of a club like Everton are based on strong community values and the soon-to-be corporate owners' concerns are with maximising profit. It's the immovable object meeting the unstoppable force.

Only a Mansour type of investor stops that having to happen, and TFG dont have the wherewithal for that.

They have wanted a prem team for awhile now yes the stadium is one of the main reasons aswell as the league. What owners in the league are corprate owners will be a very high amount is what the game has become. Is just what the world and country is like now is all about making profit. Look at villa for the champions league ticket prices, i agree with you the club is based off strong comunity values, just dont get owners like that anymore

Sheikh Mansour is going to bring back strong community values?

PSR and FFP aren't going anywhere, every club will be trying to maximize profit.

No, I'm saying that a Mansour doesn't have to sweat the stadium facility, which can keep the peace to a large degree.

IMO a major battle looms if TFG cant recognise the environment they're stepping into regarding prices of all things Everton.

Yes, but they won’t have Kenwright running the club

True, but we don't yet know who they will have running the club. As I say, cautious optimism seems a reasonable position on TFG.

Johnson, Kenwright, Moshiri...

So Kenwright was run out after a few years, we only wish, it took his death for him to be run out of town 20 odd years wasn’t it.

I haven't felt this good since Daniel Amokachi scored twice off the bench in the 1995 FA Cup semi-final.

Were you there

Saudi's don't want to touch us after Mosh tried flogging us during a world cup.

And the corporate beast is modern football.

Welcome to the new age.

How plausible is that though dave? You're like the person who sits alone on Friday night because even though they had options they're waiting for a model/actor level of attractiveness date got to be realistic

It's never been plausible as they've never been interested. If it was there was there wouldn't have been 4 or 5 "parties" that have been closest. One of them a Ponzi scheme who almost got the keys.

I don't know whether this news is true or not, but this guy is completely unreliable. As a matter of fact, the message shown in the bottom part of the video preview says "e quando mai hai preso una notizia Camelio", which can be roughly traslated as follows: "Camelio, remind me the last time you said something true". People on twitch and X make fun of him all the time.

 

[AS Roma_fan]

​

Roma fan Maurizio Gasparri represents the Lazio region in the Italian parliament. He spoke to Rai Radio1 about the protest against the ownership that took place during the defeat to Inter Milan.

He said, as relayed by RomaNews: “I agree with yesterday’s judgment of the Curva Sud, who missed 15 minutes because they detest this Roma management. I would have gone to the Curva to hold up the banner against these Friedkins, who can leave the sooner the better.”

Gasparri also urged the Friedkins to focus their attention on Everton, but he feels that they might ruin that task as well.

“They bought Everton, let them deal with that. I say this with great regret for the Everton fans who will find out who they are dealing with. Vox populi, vox dei [the voice of the people is the voice of God].”

​

Maurizio Gasparri is a complete joke, an outright populist. He simply can't cope with the fact AS Roma is in American hands. He constantly tries to align his views to those of the ultras. He is against Friedkin as he was against James Pallotta. When Pallotta's Roma reached Champions League Semifinals, he said: "Yes, but I want the old logo back. Pallotta go home!".

The Friedkin ownership is far from perfection, far far away. But people like Gasparri are there just to fuel the protests.
