rogermthomas101d ago

Doubled their money quite apparent that the Everton gig was a success for Friedken who’s only goal was make a buck ! Thank god we stuffed the Armstrong sale , must’ve pissed them right off ! Next owners need to want to be here

The Friedkin Group have done a good job to stable the club for the future!!. Unfortunately they show lack of intrest in going forward which showed in the transfer market . Let's hope someone with football in there blood and a geniue intrest for success for Everton football club and the supporters.

You gave us some hope, then just as quickly shattered those hopes, just want to get a proper owner who shows some interest in football, and not just in their Bank Account !

T.F.G saved us but of no use sitting back and watching us stagnate.Well attract plenty of offers.Still the same ones blaming Moyes.Give the man abreak

malcolm.211d ago

Haven't seen anyone blaming Moyes, not his fault. Loaning out Aznou yes, but not the finances at the club! COYBB'S 💙⚽😉

tom.procter2d ago

Hopefully it’ll be a pretty quick sale. Yes they stabilised things but the lack of ambition and visibility make them undeserving of owning this football club. Everton fans deserve much better

Says it all when the gaffer hasnt even spoke 2 them face 2 face

malcolm.211d ago

Yeah very true that mate! Hopefully we get a Tim Cahill buyer with £3 billion backing! Fingers crossed!!! COYBB'S

kyle.dimond2d ago

Strange from start to finish. Hopefully Everton get someone who is actually passionate about it but that seems increasingly unlikely

toffienut2d ago

Get them out as Quickly as possible they were never really interested from the start .

Such a shame Everton were treated as an afterthought. Maybe a change will be a good thing?

What a weird weird stint. I guess they’ll turn a quick profit

josh.barker2d ago

Does this mean we can have Hackney back?

dantowen819512d ago

Great news, never got the feeling that the Friedkins were really in this for the right reasons How Everton could do with owners who actually seem interested for a change

♥ 1

lrandall12102d ago

I think it’s a classic case of modern day ownership. Looking to use clubs to make money and business purposes, rather than having an understanding of football and actually caring about on field

markmarston2d ago

Think everyone saw this coming. Clearly didn’t have a good relationship with Moyes. They wanted to turn Everton into Dortmund…. That was their initial plan but obviously Moyes was never going to start and develop young talent like they wanted. Feel like that played a part in this decision… realised they couldn’t make money thru player trading

phillipsandersonhaigh2d ago

TFG , Get out of our club and go back to FC Roma !!!!!

chillout2d ago

What comes next ? There are 115 reasons why rich Middle Eastern benefactors will probably stay on the sidelines. Despite PCP’s denial this week, I still think Everton could end up with Amanda Staveley as a new owner (with a consortium of some kind).

daviescallum422d ago

Good riddance. If they don’t want to be here then they can go. Stabilised us, thanks a bunch.

waltonl41d ago

It now seems like the TFG wanted to make money fast from Everton, I can see why they wanted to keep feeding Roma and even build a new stadium in the future, but TFG wanting to own a new ice hockey team, meant we weren't going to last long with them!

daviescallum422d ago

🤣🤣🤣

shamanth.jayaram2d ago

The sooner fans accept that football is a business, the easier it will be to digest news like this. They came in when Everton were a mess, brought some stability and are now looking to make a quick profit to focus on their other priorities. Is it the right thing to do? No! But is it really that surprising? No again! We'll see a lot more of this in the future

♥ 1

jameslloyd14.jl2d ago

Sooner they’re gone the better. They’ve stabilised the club but they’ve got no ambition after that

gramorris2d ago

We can only hope there’s interest already and they’re trying to drum up more. Jan window looks like a wash so a season of opportunity looks like it might end up being a slog

chillout2d ago

Moyes wouldn’t have spend any money even if it was available. Dithering Dave seems to find it difficult to make up his mind, leaves it too late and ends up losing out on targets.

♥ 1

kierandoody2d ago

I think this summer made it obvious they’re not overly bothered about Everton. Their priorities are Roma and the new NHL team. The PL (and EFL) need to get serious about vetting these people, they ultimately give the green light and it can lead to disaster. Luckily not in this case but if they already owned one club one of the two naturally takes priority.

chillout2d ago

I do think that the post 115 world will make it less attractive for those looking at clubs purely as a financial win. What’s going on at Man C will, in my opinion, result in far fewer would be buyers.

davejackson6312d ago

get lost you have shown zero interest in the club Trump isnt the only idiot in america

♥ 1

chillout2d ago

I reckon new owners will need to pay £800m - so you might find would be owners who still see this as a financial opportunity, rather than a football one.

Not surprised in the slightest. Been obvious they've not really been interested for a while. Their priority is Roma.

Pretty damming that in itself.

brogan2d ago

Bang on about Roma. Doubt it was true when they claimed they had it mapped out to navigate the UEFA rules when it comes to their two clubs being able to play in same European competition

kmm.mace2d ago

I suppose they got us out of the deep sh!t we were in with Moshiri, for which we should be grateful. But, I for 1 would prefer not to be owned by yanks. They are not marinated in our football culture, but worse, yanks are purely money driven, even to the point of asset stripping a club & walking away. I don't think we are in safe hands.

chillout2d ago

But I think the Americans and Middle East guys have most of the money. Amanda Staveley is British, but she usually comes in with a consortium who are mainly from the MidEast. There are, however, 5 Premier League clubs with British owners and 3 from Europe.

brogan2d ago

Think many will find it hard to be grateful when they've seemingly looked to make such a quick profit. Not even two years is a joke, in my opinion

brogan2d ago

Laughable really. Can only hope for a smooth and quick sale but how do Everton find themselves in this mess again???

tonyh184d ago

excellent owners so far, reduced the debt, new stadium, more than happy. Seems reasonable price rise for season tickets - only up from 5 to under 10%, had to happen, if you want Everton to compete at higher level, it costs more money.

♥ 1

brogan183d ago

I think the argument against the ticket price rise is that the club are now generating new levels of revenue, yet the fans are being asked for more. Appreciate we *could* have European football on offer, but no guarantee just yet

kchristian1878192d ago

They havd bern great.. my issue with agents.... if i buy a property... I use and pay the agent.. agents representing players... so should agents fees be paid by the player.. ?????

Yeah I don't know why he hasn't. It's not the end of the world, but he's regularly at Roma...

paul.greeney1975194d ago

Let's hope the freidkins have sorted the situation of competing in European games both roma and everton of course with uefa 🤞🤞

brogan194d ago

You can only hope. There will be some uproar if they haven't after seeing the mess at Palace last summer

♥ 2

kmm.mace196d ago

I don't really mind if they are at games or not. If the choice is, have an owner there every week that tries to run the club, pick players to buy etc, like Forest, give me owners who take a back seat & let proper footy people, who know better run the playing / recruitment side of things. If they are better at business & making money for the club, great!

chrissinclair67239d ago

Some ridiculous comments regarding TFG. Firstly the small number of private shareholders do NOT fund the club in any way, shape or form. Secondly TFG have professionals in place to run the club. What difference would one man waving to the crowd from the directors box make? People need to look at the big picture and drop this parochial outlook.

ajmiller17th208d ago

It would show they cared, always at Roma games

juliamount.jm254d ago

Y Devalued the shares of every other share holder by them creating more. Licence to print money. Value down by 90%, its those shareholders funding the club while these lot take credit and paying a £20 dividend per share. Business men, not sports men, we have become so far detached from what we are. They don't care about the club, the history just business.

barbaramurray1967255d ago

Absolutely disgusting they have not been to any home games yer. His son is always watching roma at home games while he stays at home. And now there buying players for roma and not everton. Why.

ajmiller17th123d ago

His son lives in Rome so it isn't a problem for him to go to Roma games, it's like supporting his local club FFS!!! And Roma fans hate the Friedkins and their interference in their club, so be careful what you wish for

brogan255d ago

They've definitely taken the silent ownership stance. I do find it a bit odd when Dan is so present at Roma too especially during this transfer window

♥ 1

ptrckbennett295d ago

I don't think money is the issue provided it's spent correctly and every priority needs to be on the back line!!! As poor as we are at the moment in defense imagine an injury/suspension to any of them???

brogan295d ago

The big issue is definitely at right-back. If that's sorted then O'Brien suddenly becomes an option at CB and backup for RB. Who knows when Branthwaite returns but sounds like he's getting closer

robi.buckley296d ago

Not expecting much in January. A right back would be nice. But I think most work will be done in the Summer

♥ 1

brogan295d ago

I thought Moyes sounded quite optimistic on KDH timeframe... Hopefully means Jan can be a window of opportunity but 100% agree on the right-back. Happy to kick LB down the road until the summer but would like an upgrade on Myko then

anthonymanley1956206d ago

Lets be clear hes a buissnes man he bought everton has a buissnes hes not a fan it wont bother him he hasnt been a game has long as dollars keep rolling in

a hehhI like his style . He makes decisions without any fanfare and just gets on with the running of his empire . Although I'm grateful for Moshiri getting the stadium built, he always seemed to be tinkering in the affairs of the managers.

seanbennett498123d ago

No matter what any blue has to say about Moshiri he succeeded were others failed on building the stadium some of his appointments etc where questionable but credit to him regarding BMD
