Prepare for 5 years of the football world being completely confused when they figure out that our Gulf States are Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana instead of UAE, Bahrain and Qatar

RS mates just whats appin Southgate will be our next manager, seems to be their standard response

Another thing to keep them up at night.

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.

As big as roma are. The Premier league is the money spinner for all owners. If anything Everton will be their cream of the crop now.

Yes. And Everton have the potential to bring in more money if we have an owner who has a clue.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Well if you're right they're not here for the long term and probably looking for a ROI through a sale down the line which means they have to run the club properly and competently and keep us competitive and attractive. I'm OK with that for the next 5-10 years after Moshiri. Or you're wrong. Time will tell

Dave going against the grain what a surprise

I haven’t gone back through this thread, so apologies if anyone has asked or answered this already.

I’m cautiously optimistic, but what has changed?
The Friedkin Group pulled out a couple of months ago having had their chance to look under the bonnet.

Is it just big business strategy to walk away and come back and get Moshiri to accept a different offer? Was Textor just as patsy to force the Friedkins to come back to the table?

Are we going to find the Premier League take longer to review and approve this one?

Also, presuming this all goes through without a hitch, the new owner is going to find they’re under scrutiny from the get-go by a fan base which has been put through the mill over the last few years by the clubs former custodians.

Last time was just an exclusivity period, a deal wasn’t agreed between the two parties. The big difference now is the sale is agreed and it’s all just down to appropriate Prem and relevant authorities signing off on the deal.

Changes your mind a bit Dave with the speed they got it done once they came back in.

 

[JohnKay]

Just popping in to say gerrin, finally some proper good news for you's. Onwards and upwards to your new stadium and better times lads and lasses.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I’d prefer Tex.

Well he is a Texan.

Very pleased Friedkin is back as Textor seemed more instability.

With the new stadium and Friedkin writing off £400m-£500m therefore reducing the interest payments which take up a load of the revenue, we should have a decent amount to build a new team.

We'll also have a number of high wages coming off the books, so I can imagine a huge summer.

Hopefully, we'll have sensible wages to turnover and still money to spend.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Is Friedkin a bigger billionaire than Textor then? I don't mean taller, like has he got more billions?

 

[bluestevon]

He'll pass the tests with flying colours

He's basically our owner now

Thirteen days from acceptance of offer to ratification for Roma mate.
