Who's your money on in the takeover 'battle'?

[Dougie]

Just read that Friedkin is a stunt pilot in his spare time. What could possibly go wrong?…

Fun fact if you saw the movie Dunkirk. The part where Tom hardy has to land the spitfire on Dunkirk beach, well that was Dan friedkin landing the plane.

Bonjourno Toffees!

I really don't know what you trying to say it's either, Have a Nice Day in French or Good Morning in Italian either way in presents poor language skills on your behalf

We still looking this being done and dusted September time?

Well my American mate is happy with this news. My Italian mate thinks he will be bad for us.
I guess only time will tell!!!

He would not have been my first choice if he was say against Mark Cuban, but I would say he is miles better than where this was headed. As I mentioned, not acquired to be part of a Private Equity Fund. Would never want that ownership structure for a Sports team.

I've just read that and thought the same thing

Best thing about is that we don't need to sell Brant.

The premier league have got to approve the sale yet mate. Best option out of this is. We sell a player we were going to sell anyway, to Roma, for more money than we would have got . Let’s say DCL for £40m in a quick sale to appease FFP.

Hearing Freidkin is willing to pay to get Bramley Moore shipped to Rome.

And we end up playing in the colosseum

Moshiri will decide whether to hand them his preference in the next 24-48 hours?

Hmmm. Not exactly cast iron is it?

@Zatara.

It's difficult to judge Roma's transfer business. We're trying to comply with FFP regulations since ages.

What I can say is that Friedkin has invested A LOT, but mainly outside the pitch. Considering the price paid to the previous owners, the money spent to buy 100% of the shares - Roma was a public company - and switch to private company, the money spent to pay some debts and so on, It's been calculated that he spent 929 million euros since 2020. No other investment like this in Italy lately.

The guy has resources, obviously not enough to fight Arabic sovereign funds.

As for the transfers, the problem is...he chose Mourinho, who wanted experienced players. It was obviously a bad choice for a team that had to be rebuilt from scratch with FFP limitations in place. With De Rossi and the new sporting director Ghisolfi, the focus will shift to young promising player. It's already been announced.

The results have been extremely good in Europe (1 conference league won, 1 Europa League final lost, 1 Europa League semifinal in 3 years) and mediocre in Serie A (7th - 6th - 6th - 6th).

Oh for the days of mediocrity again!

Thanks for your understanding.
We’re not all cunning linguists.

Roma fans are on the socials singing his praises and predicting good things for Everton
