1. After only 2 summer windows where the squad acquisition cost was barely increased, we sold our best player, ST prices were increased and the club revenue grew very significantly, TFG are bailing -> no other way to put it. 2. Yet, contrast their statement today versus the statements made below, which talk about long term vision, investment and custodianship: 3. Dan Friedkin, December 2024 “I take immense pride in welcoming one of England’s most historic football clubs to our global family, The Friedkin Group. Everton represents a proud legacy, and we are honoured to become custodians of this great institution… We are deeply committed to honouring this legacy while contributing positively to the community, economy, and people of this remarkable city.” 4. Marc Watts, December 2024 “We are proud to be the new custodians of your Club. Together, we will usher Everton into a new era, one that is marked by ambition and professionalism. As stewards of Everton, we look forward to showing our commitment to the Club through actions, not words… Our goals are clear: Strengthening the men’s first-team squad through thoughtful and strategic investment… Maximising the potential of the new stadium through long-term commercial partnerships and events that benefit the city of Liverpool… The road ahead of us is long and there will be further challenges to come, but we are committed to living by Everton’s motto: nil satis nisi optimum.” 5. Everton are not doing badly, on and off the pitch. Fans have not done protests like Roma, or gone to any great angry lengths. They have swallowed all the additional costs. They have packed the HD Stadium. Sponsors have flocked in, good players have joined, Everton are on the up. 6. The about turn from TFG is undeniably NOT linked to Everton's own instrinsic progress. We have been demonstrating sound financial and football progress. 7. No question this is linked to something else. My hunch is UEFA Article 5. TFG never really had a suitable structure to solve the dual ownership of Roma and Everton, and gullible journalists put out statements saying they a solution without properly querying how. We also had the laughable Kinnear interview where the owners made it sound like they were driving the club towards a high bar of success in the long term. 8. Everton in TFG's eyes is the easier club to flog equity in, to facilitate the seperation. TFG can retain a minority stake. 9. The value growth in Everton allows them to (a) raise cash from the sale for Roma's stadium build (b) sell the same story about Roma's new stadium to financiers of that stadium using Everton and HD as the template: New stadium->more revenues->equity growth 10. Before TFG bought Everton, their Roma investment was fucked. €1bn sunk with no hope of recovery and an expensive stadium build. Everton have made things alot easier. 11. To conclude, TFG deserve some credit for good work in stabilising Everton's finances. But all good solid owners would have done that. 12. They absolutely failed to back up their words when they bought the club and in the process sold our best player and left us with a weakened squad. I for one will not be sad to see the back of these sorry bastards. New owners will have to undergo strict OADT and compliance to IFR's new licensing regime. So no chance of any charlatans getting near the club. Whoever that new credible owner is, in my opinion, must NOT be creating an Multi Club Ownership (MCO) model.

Back in 2014, there was a man who was already aware of the irregularities involving Manchester City. That man now runs FIFA. The infamous Gianni Infantino, then UEFA General Secretary, abused his authority, shared confidential documents and, in short, outmanoeuvred the Investigatory Chamber, doing everything in his power to ensure that both Manchester City and PSG would merely receive a fine, avoiding a deeper investigation that could have led to a Champions League ban. All of these details were also revealed through Football Leaks. Given his actions as UEFA General Secretary and, more recently, as FIFA President, I can only say, in my humble opinion, that Gianni Infantino has become a cancer on football and should have no place in the future of the game.
