The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[mikel_88]

Do RMF have any way to block this deal like they did with MSP with this change of control clause they have in their contract?

Dont think so because will be agreed the loan will be paid with this takeover. We didnt get the full details from the msp bid i think they only wanted a % of the club not the whole club

Seems a long way off at the moment.
Period of exclusivity but no agreement to buy the club at the moment ?
After which the PL have to do their obligatory checks ?

Think the big difference is if Friedkin wants to complete the deal the checks should be a formality. It’s not like 777 who couldn’t meet the PL’s conditions.

I’m assuming exclusivity implies a deal has been agreed in principal subject to all the due diligence being completed and Friedkins people being satisfied.

Can I say having an owner with a vision/strategy is going to be amazing? I don't even care if it fails, at LEAST it's a straight up plan. Haven't had that for about......30 years or so.

These lot don't seem to have the same kind of red flags as the previous lot. So hoping the sale and the procedures on the side of PL are done and dusted soon (14 weeks is it?).

So @davek
You're not happy with a anti environmentalist, whose a Republican running our club.....But you are "happy" with Arab owners who might cut off you're head, or castigate you for being Gay, or maybe cut you're hands off for stealing, what a strange hill to die on. You have turned I to a weird poster to say the least Dave, well plod on and don't let me stop you..

Has been used a fair bit lately too !!

We hire managers for future results, not past.

Having said that, I don't see how we're going to start with an appreciably better squad than we ended 23-24, so we should stick with him.

We have no idea what Dyche can do with better players though. For now he’s being forced to play pragmatic footie with a view to not conceding

He may surprise us under Friedkin

Chill out ffs

Very different bid this. 777 were buying through leverage (never mind their dodgy business record), Friedkin Group are buying with their own money

PL will wave it through “in weeks” … if you believe the BBC report

Read something quoting Alan Myers saying about 8 weeks.

This will take 3 months if it happens. Any other expectation is not rooted in reality.

Yeah I’d say you’re right. No point losing our minds over it not being done and dusted in a week
