There was a Roma fan on here who gave a fairly concise overview of their ownership .
Lack of communication was one complaint.
They don’t appear to be the ‘perfect’ owners some are viewing them as , (which Americans are , they are generally far to corporate and money oriented with a sometimes limited knowledge of the game ).
They are better than 777 though .
We will have to wait and see how they perform for us before we can conclude whether they fall on the positive or negative side of opinion,

Can't believe they've been written off because by our fans because they sacked De Rossi.

We don't deserve nice things. Judge them on what they do at Everton, not what they've done at Roma.

….’lack of communication’ is no issue for me. My understanding is they recruit key personnel and let them get on with their jobs but fire them if they fail. As always, getting us the right new Manager and DOF is their major task which is the same for every club on the planet.

We are starting from such a low base though, we have an owner who has been absent for a couple of years, no board, Colin Chong is basically doing everything behind the scenes and Sean Dyche is the only form of communication from the club.

For me the key thing is them hiring a board of directors and letting them get on with the day to day running of the club, The Friedkins themselves we may not see or hear from regularly, unless one of them is a board member.

I think like many fans I want to see it done as soon as possible, hopefully before January. But I am not sure if we will be permitted (FFP) to spend any money on strengthening the squad

Peanuts for Uncle Uzzy, prob took him 10mins of checking the pockets on a few pair of kecks in his wardrobe to rustle that up.

Lack of communication is fine when things are going well .
When things are not going so well it hints at
arrogance and disinterest.
Football may be more business than sport these days , but there is still a world of difference between selling pick ups to Arabs and running a major football club.
As their travails at Roma illustrate.

Keep an eye on eBay in case he ever flogs that sofa on the cheap

Apparently they are big fans of Dyche after a meeting the other month.

Contract extension as soon as the takeover is done.

I find it quite baffling that - after decades of lurching from one disaster to another - people still somehow believe that things will miraculously get much better just by virtue of one change. Whether it's the owner, the manager, or new players, we should all be well versed enough in Everton by now to know that things are never that simple.
