The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[maccavennie]

100% this - fresh start and a clean slate is needed!

We as fans need it mate, I'm sick of the incompetence, the "stick with us narrative" from people who aren't good enough in their role to ask Everton fans to keep going to the well to fetch the water. I'm sick of them. I want these to come in and one by one strip every single under performing dosser from this club.

With the right people, professional people, armed with a fantastic fanbase and a new stadium, there's a solid foundation for us all to start from.

I don't want ANYONE who was directly or indirectly involved with Everton via Kenwright or Moshiri to be kept in position as there's not one of them who would be confident enough to be held accountable for their piss poor performance and believe they'd retain their job.

If it's true that it could be sorted in the next few weeks, I reckon that there's a possibility it's done during the next international break, if not very very close to...meaning that if Dyche doesn't get results against Palace and Newcastle, he may well be shown the door in that period.

Hopefully he gets the results…. and is still shown the door

I’d prefer Tex.

Best thing about this news is the hot dogs at BMD are going to be next level now.

and a large portion of french friedkins? yum yum

slurp!

 

[Chewbacca]

No mate. I'm vigilant from day one. That's the only way to come at this.

They are meddling owners.

They are here to financially exploit the new stadium and through it the fans.

They're the owners of multiple clubs and they'll place us in Roma's shadow...as will the world's media.

They are all wrong for us.

Nothing gives me more confidence that this will be a success than this statement

 

[milks]

Does this mean that we can start to be positive again?

From the shitshow of prospective owners, Friedkin definitely looked to be the 'least worst' option.

Why does it look like it’s been run over by a big Texan 4x4 ?

 

[jazzy]

I can’t wait to see Textors next Interview, wonder if he will makes out he wanted to stay at Palace.

He's consistently said that he wanted control at Palace. If he had that he'd never have been interested in Everton

 

[Sussex]

Do you reckon we may see some light ready for the new stadium?

New stadium, new owners, clean new start. Sounds kinda nice.

If it doesn't happen now it will never happen. Huge moment in our history.

It’s the sheer weight of the beast.

 

[Amokachi1995]

These always felt more credible than Textor. Even if they're not miracle workers will be good to have some direction and accountability from the top.

 

[Davideeyore]

This is moving too quick don't they know I'm at work

Well compared to 777

1. Do they have money ?
2. Is it all theirs and legally obtained ?
3. Do they have a reasonable level of experience in sports finance ?

All of the above is yes

Downside ?

They are yanks

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I worry about what these will do with Bramley Moore

Could very easily see them selling it in order to lease back

They at least seem to have a clue how to run a club in general though, so that puts them way ahead of Moshiri
