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

"During this period of time, Roma could also agree to stage preseason friendlies with some of the more prestigious Premier League clubs."

Unlucky, you're coming to Goodison.

The trouble with “free spending oil rich outfits” is that the rules now preclude them spending it (see the Skunks, their improvement is due to Howe).

Even with current state of the US, I prefer rich Texans to hand chopping, gay stoning, slave economy Middle East owners.

Yee-haw. Don't mess with Texas.

Heard he wants to call us the Everton Spitfires and we come out to the theme tune for Dambusters.

I heard he wants to change the rules of football to have mutiple balls during injury time to jazz it up for the TV folk.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Interesting... we're still waiting for the announcement of our final pre season friendly (10th August I'm guessing) at Goodison.

Could be something in that...

Don't be soft, you know we'll be having a prestigious game against somebody like Prestatyn or Tenby FC.

This guy is probably the best one out of the bids that were made though. He has money, previous experience and wants to move forward in regards to where football is concerned. I think under him we can put to bed any notion of anymore of the sentimental fc rubbish that has strangled this club for years and (imo) would have continued under the likes of Bell and Downing. MSP don't want us and I have never understood their involvement, they are clearly hankering after Spurs and are prepared to sit it out (they will have a long wait from what I hear) The Vici bid was unknown and shrouded in mystery also the two guys behind Vici have been involved with more companies than most people have had hot meals. Also the Manoukian bid seemed a bit too good to be true, initial money upfront which was great but what about afterwards? Also they are all tech guys which probably means it would be crypto/NFT everything. Sorry not for me.
I think we are making the right choice.

Reset the poll on this thread then as our new owners stand at only 6% in favour ?

 

[Blue Smoke]

We as fans need to rid ourselves of the pessimism that has dogged our lives for years now.
Assume we are getting an owner who wants to stabilise our club and create a better future.
Will assume our future is gonna be far brighter than with moshiri or the 777 bid (which nearly went through had the PL not demanded to see funds to pay off MSP.)

The Toyota sales licence.

They're car salesmen at root.

Could we not potentially find fault with sources of all large amounts of accumulated wealth?

Would have thought a new thread on friedkin ownership, with a new poll on who's in favour would be better.

no need to ask him mate he can find fault with anything with no prompting!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Hope people don't mind, but will close this now and open a dedicated Friedkin thread. Please continue here: https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/the-friedkin-group-dan-ryan-friedkin.119845/

Will reopen this if exclusivity isn't given soon/other buyers come forward.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

And we're back...

 

[Rita_Poon]

It's going to be musk isn't it, the tesla dome at Bramley Moore Dock. First conference donny trump. We aren't allowed nice things.

 

[samsonthedog1]

And we're back...

Would like to think that with the 777 difficulty out in the open that any prospective buyer will know about it all before entering exclusivity.

i don’t get it i mean why can’t any new owner just pay of what’s owed to 777?
