The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[Clarky cat]

I should have given more detail

Coleman stays if he wants. Legally. Contractually.

Nothing the new owners can do about it

Thicker than a whale omelette

 

[jazzy]

Are you claiming that he has already signed a deal to June 2026?

I can only presume that the poster was trying to suggest that if Coleman's contract expires at the end of the season ( as reported ) that Coleman is able to exercise an option to extend for 12 months.

It's possible but I've never heard this rumoured or suggested before.

I can’t say how I know. I don’t want to lose my job. I won’t post anything similar in future.

We’ve got a deal agreed with a striker in January too, by the way.

Hmmmm

Be very surprised if the club gave a player at that point of his career, the option to extend it himself.

Yeah, that sounds like a clause on a property lease contract or a service levy agreement, not something that would be added to a player's contract.

If anything, the clause would be to extend the contract at the club's discretion, not the players.

I call BS.

Is there any factual or anecdotal evidence of this happening with any football player, ever?

I stand to be corrected, but I think in the old versions of that PC game 'Football Manager', there was an option to do something like this when you signed new players?

Can see him wanting to do something in football still but for me looks like a player with pride. Like baines if he feels he is not up to the level anymore be shocked if he carries on

That’s delicious. I can just imagine Dan rocking up to the Liver building with his compaq windows 95 PC and an original copy of football manager to load up and see if he can jib Coleman off or not. His first signing will be a 50 year old Nii Lamptey.

If you’re correct then it certainly puts some perspective on a particular poster and their strange grasp on normal contractual workings, risk and legality.

Well, I'm about 90% sure that fat American mess that owns Chelsea, Boehly, runs the club like he's playing Football Manager with the cheat codes on!

Fat Todd has very little say at Chelsea these days

Oh, really mate?!?

So, they finally had enough of his BS and were like: 'HEY fat boy! Go sit down in the corner! Here's a couple of Big Macs for you to chew on! Now SHUUUUUDUP, you fat, blithering mess of a man!!!!'

Think the jury is very much out on TFG and appointments to the footballing Dept mate. I haven’t been enthused by what they’ve done at Roma on that score. But I’m also open minded.

Much more impressed with their investment and his they have recovered the business. Which in itself allows a margin of error.

would you be as opened minded if you were in a dark room and told to feel your way out but all you could feel was what you believed to be rock hard rods? but you switched the light on and it turned out to be erect willies? these are better then most we have been linked or nearly got into bed with i reckon by my own thoughts not what i’ve read
