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

[davek]

How on earth can Everton ever be second fiddle to Roma? We're in the biggest, most televised league in world football. I don't believe he'll retain Roma anyway. He'll sell them for a quick profit to the Saudis.

Where this capital appears to be coming from IMHO

He's already stated they're situation at Roma will be unchanged.

He's a spiv. A car salesman who's made a few bob.

But it's his interfering at Roma and his multi-club model that has me concerned.

They've just won a European pot under his stewardship.

He isn’t spending the best part of a billion quid to buy us just to feed a Europa Conference League level club in a dead league with no money in it.

L'Everton ai Friedkin, domani è il giorno. Ma la Roma resterà al centro del progetto?

Attesa l'ufficialità del passaggio di proprietà del club di Liverpool dall'iraniano Moshiri all'attuale proprietà giallorossa, tra i timori dei tifosi e i piani degli americani

Tomorrow should be the day about Gazzetta.

As you may notice if you translate the article, Roma fans are afraid their club might come second when Everton is "fixed".

Imho, either they'll sell Roma in 2-3 years or there will be equal treatment.

It's been almost 3 decades since Everton have had a competent owner. Absolutely have to get the custodian of this club right this time.

I've absolutely no idea who that is though.

You think we should go down the multi-club ownership route and play second-fiddle to Roma and goodness knows who else when he adds to his portfolio?

I put Everton first.

Freidkin's model is a train wreck waiting to happen for us.

I know he is minted and all that but nobody not even billionaires spend half a billion quid on a historically great English club with one of the best new stadiums to then have it play second fiddle. On the contrary, if anything they will see both clubs as their flagships and treat them both equally and want both of them to bring them fame and fortune in the future.

He has to say that

 

[davek]

I mean this is just something people on here have completely made up in their heads.

Stands to reason.

I any case, being a stable mate to any football club(s) is an abomination.

It's just accepting the commodification of football to such an extent that you're willing to dilute your own precious identity.

I dearly hope this 'deal' with Friedkin falls through.

We can do much better than being an appendage to 'The Friedkin Group'.


I'm staggered that so many Evertonians are that desperate they'd whore themselves out to this bid.

 

[Victus]

Davek you had no idea who he was until last week mate, now you seem to know exactly how he will be in charge of us. Just admit youre bored and need something to moan about now the relegation thread is shut.

I dont believe that for a minute. They will hierarchise as a business.

Still and all there's that identity issue I spoke of above.

 

[davek]

They've just won a European pot under his stewardship.

Precisely.

He isn't doing ANYTHING yet.

 

[malfosse]

Probably a bit thicker.

I don't think that's even possible for some posters.

Do you think a reason could be the stadium problems you have. Is interesting to see what tthe scouting nextwork between the clubs is or is it separate. Also what he does with the board here

Cite the evidence he has said that
