The Friedkin Group reaches agreement to buy Everton

[KaiserEFC]

I can’t wait for the league to decide retrospectively that there’s something wrong with the sale and dock Everton 16 points a week until the dragon fires stop burning and there hasn’t been a monarch in the Danish throne for 15 centuries

Was saying on here months ago when was the last time there was a transfer out the blue.

Very rarely happens - always figured too many involved, too many leaks. Club comms departments are massive etc.

They could stop putting potential new players up in the Titanic?

They could stop putting potential new players up in the Titanic?

By the time they even get there, they've already been wrote off and booed.

Or putting up South American actors who look like players who have as much chance of getting a work permit as somebody who died in 1874?

There are too many layers involved to stop news of transfers leaking. But official communication is a different thing. We already know not to expect much in that regard from TFG.

It would make a welcome change from Moshiri being on national radio and Kenwrights "Your Chairman" messages.

Obviously there is a social media team but outside of that one wonders why we need anything beyond that.

The manager of the day bears most of the responsibility for being the day to day face of the club.

@davek

i would smash this

Love you @matty1878 but if this happened I would take up knitting.

….i’d actually be very surprised if somebody on Friedkin’s team hasn’t been tasked with gauging the views of Everton fans on the range of issues impacting their club.

More specifically, I can see this site being a source of reference for them.

Thank God the "Pets in costumes" thread was closed

Really nice words…

Blimey. Mr. Winter gets us.

I know. Equally, the fact is that lots of the countries which are fanatical about football in Asia and African were part of the British Empire has nothing to do with it. Just like the States. It's just the best league in the world. Period (or full stop, if you prefer). Nothing to do with history or language.

As a Yank, I just don't agree. The language specifically is a huge barrier to Italy, Spain and Germany overtaking the PL. Madrid doesn't have the following of Manchester United, and it's not because of the club's successes or the league itself.

Reckon I'd find a post on here or social media a good week before he signed about him

[Edit] Here's Zat talking about rumours before he asigned;

Throw enough darts and one will hit the target eventually

Writing his report up now

Says the club’s in administration

TFG won’t get approval and don’t have the dosh, Roma moving into BMD.

Does he mention when Witsel is joining us?

I've said before, I'd rather hear from the DoF than the owner. I appreciate the updates from Thelwell.

Once they announced they had signed the deal and it was subject to the regulatory approvals, all of the stakeholders had already agreed to the deal.

It doesn't indicate that R&MF and BCLP think the approvals are a formality, only that they have signed off on the deal itself.
