The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

What on earth is going on here then? Is this for real, and going to happen soon?

Yeah to come back again they must be happy with whatever their concerns where now. Probably wont even need another exclusivity period so it could actually go pretty quick this now if it happens.

It was always a negotiating ploy…

I'll answer once for all those who asked.

De Rossi's dismissal came as a surprise for everybody. Rumors had circulated about him having a fight with Cristante during training. According to some journalists his relationship with Lina Souloukou was strained to say the least. But nobody expected he'd be out so soon, even after a bad start. Last two matches were unlucky but well played overall, so we expected better performances over time, considering many players are new.

They decided to sack him in the middle of the night. It's highly likely something we don't know happened.

In any case, they've made a huge mistake. It remains to be seen whether they did it in may when they extended De Rossi's contract - 3 years for 3 million euros a season - or a few days ago when they sacked him.

They also underestimated the fans' emotional attachment to De Rossi. Most of the hardcore fans lost their minds, threatening Souloukou who's been put under police escort and decided to resign shortly thereafter in order to protect her children.

Now they need to find a replacement.

Surely you have supported Everton long enough to recognise that we are currently in the giddily excited stage, which is just before to total disappointment phase.

 

[coollino]

Lol

Incredible hahahaa, I'm in

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Incredible hahahaa

It's complete nonsense.

'oh quick lets release a story that's going to get Evertonians backs up'

 

[coollino]

It's complete nonsense.

'oh quick lets release a story that's going to get Evertonians backs up'

And that's exactly why I am supporting it

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

• Hopelessness and despair
• Glimmer of hopeful news
• Overblown headlines and fan speculation (We're here)
• Long period of silence
• Poor news
• Back to the first step

(That being said, Friedkin's gonna have us top of the table by Christmas)

And that's exactly why I am supporting it

Da know what....you're right.

 

[Abertonian]

What a time to be alive. This club couldn't be signed up for a documentary series, everyone would think it's fantasy.

Anyway TFG was my preferred option would be happy to see this actually happen.
