The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Neiler]

Don't we?? Depends entirely were we are up to with the financial fair play rules. We can only spend up to certain strict limits (and neither you nor I know what these are). To increase the ability to spend we have to increase our income, and in the short term that inevitably means sell someone. We haven't currently got any other income streams.

I think what could be telling is the keeping of Thelwell if reports are true.

He’s proved so far a key skill of his in operating within the limits placed.

If you didn’t have to manage that - then why would you keep him on as a new broom.

I very much think we are still operating in limits.

We lost 90 mill in our last set of published accounts, I doubt we turned that around in the last financial year - so I think we can presume with pretty much certainty that PSR is still going to be an issue. Fiedkins or no.

Which takes us to unineviable decisions.

By far the worst sort of decisions them.

 

[roy vernon]

Yes, Milton.

Season ticket prices are gonna rocket with this Friedman.

I thought it was Dean, I thought 'you can thank your lucky stars'.

I think he might get kept on is a slightly different role, say Technical or Sporting director and they bring their own DoF in too work alongside him.

Slash and burn !
Raze the whole institutionally rotten edifice to the ground and start afresh , using as reference nothing after 1995 .

Radical and a bit Thatcheright

Ensuring stability would suggest that there has been or is already stability at Everton. Being deeply involved in three consecutive relegation battles and on the end of multiple points deductions is about as far away from stable as I can imagine. The fans are unhappy with the manager in terms of both the team's style of play and results. Signings have continued to be a mess under Thelwell, albeit under severe restraints (big credit for Ndiaye though), so he gets some leeway on that from me. Dyche has underperformed massively imo - it's like watching a Sunday league side most of the team.

You'd imagine Mr Friedkin and his partners already have some idea about what kind of manager they'd like, and hopefully even have a shortlist of names they want to approach. No reason at all why we can't attract a much higher quality of manager than we've currently got, one that would get an awful lot more out of a pretty good squad - which is what we have.

As soon as the takeover happens there will obviously be big changes behind the scenes; a new board of directors will be put in place, with possibly a few of those already here staying in the short term. Chongy, for example.

I said stability not continuity.
Everton is a big machine and you cant remove all cogs at once

I think that's an idea mate. He is a bit of a boffin on the technical side.

Hard to know.

I never instinctively liked Brands, as always felt he was Emperors new clothes, his outcomes confirmed my suspicions. He was poor or weak or both.

One of the areas i feel we really suffered with him was a lack of a profile or network nationally, we saw very little interaction in the footballing pyramid with him here, players in and out, there was a notable drop of in that economy between Walsh, Brands and Thelwell - who it has picked up under.

Brands however did cultivate the international market more, then the other two.

We need that balance and scope - if that's two people a DOF and Technical Director well and good.

There could also be some sort of harsh termination clause in his employment contract that is making them hesitant on firing him.

The truth is, we'll never know.

His contract is up at the end of the season same as Dyche but I can see him getting kept on in some capacity for a transitional period.

 

[Curtis]

I doubt the everton das will riot if Coleman doesn't get signed again , they'll just fit the grievance in during their usual whinging sessions not exactly roma ultras

Unless he's already met with the Friedkin's behind closed doors and proved to them that he's a go-getter who's willing to do anything to keep his job...

Spoiler: ...I mean ANYTHING....

A 'Yes Man', that's willing to play ball, so to speak...
We'll never know.

 

[Curtis]

Come on dan the roma fans are already incensed, should just give us artem dovbyk or dybala on loan in Jan. That wacky loon textor would do it

I think it was a nightmare situation all round for most of the Moshiri years. You had the owner, chairman and DoF all pulling in different directions alongside a carousel of managers. A recipe for disaster as it turned out.

TFG should appoint people they trust and let them get on with the job.

I think that could work,it’s been a hard job for him as it always was under moshiri and others meddling,but I think it’d be a good idea to keep him on in some capacity,who knows what the plans are though
