The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

Concern is they haven't reached the CL since they bought the club (they were in it regularly before and reached semis in 2018).

They've dined out on the Conference League win but even Fiorentina on lesser budget reached the last 2 finals and Atalanta won the Europa League last season on a much lower budget.

No progress on a much mooted new stadium either. Their ownership there has gone off the rails this year with what would be 3 managerial sackings.

Tbf it's almost impossible to get planning permission in Rome.

Go on Dan. Sell Roma to Moshiri on your way out. Nice little parting shot at those cringe worthy 'ultras'

Are Roma fans just upset about the De Rossi sacking or is there something more ?

I thought on the hole they’ve done alright considering the state of the club when they took control of it

To be honest, I've seen a lot worse in Italy.

Doesn't look like they've even set anything on fire.

I mean we’ve had 8 permanent managers in what 8 years under Mosh so replacing managers as soon as they have a poor run isn’t always the solution by our own experience (this not an endorsement of Dyche btw!)

It is more an admission that hiring mostly terrible managers means they wont last very long when the inevitable terrible results follow.

And declining year on year investment in the squad whilst selling your better players.
I mean Ancelotti had creative talent like Digne, Rodriguez, Bernard, Sigurdsson & Richarlison and got us a heady 10th.
It was always likely to be a battle and that's the way its panning out.

So let us write Friedkin off now because of some probably spurious claims and try and wait another 6 months at least for someone else to show interest and have more spurious claims against them that will put us off again and just continue with the ever turning circle until the press don't comment on a prospective owner.
Just get Friedkin in then worry or celebrate something that will 99% be better than what we currently have.

I think our new owners will be good for the club…….

I think our new owners will be good for the club…….

And good for our sanity too.

Roberto Mancini is in the running for the job, not sure how that would go down with his Lazio connections.

The way the Roma Ultras seem to be after De Rossi was sacked, it be like crashing a full oil tanker into a fireworks factory

 

[Toffeepot]

Hurry up Dan

Just pay off our debts and that will be a massive start. To know we can then spend what we earn in profit on players again would be a huge relief.
