Popular Post RuffRob Posted Monday at 15:36 Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 15:36 interesting to read that Friedkin group looking to invest £400-500M in to the club, in the form of an equity stake rather than it being a fully debt driven buyout. This is massive, as reduced our debt and our annual interest payments massively, significanly increases the money that is annually generated by the club. Debt has been the monkey on our back since I can remember. It gives us the best chance of actually making something of ourselves on the back of this amazing modern stadium we are about to move in to. We all know nowerdays its all about generating sustainable revenues that can be reinvested rather than wealthy owners pumping money in. This has the potential to be a massive turning point for us.

London Blue Posted Monday at 15:41 Report Share Posted Monday at 15:41 They did the same thing when buying Roma. This is great news, i hope people know how massive this is for us. An equity steak as RuffRob says means we will save so much money on interest payments that frees up ffp money. With the new stadium generating revenue we can properly invest in the club.

Popular Post Trigger Posted Monday at 17:27 Popular Post Report Share Posted Monday at 17:27 I've got his unusual feeling/emotion and I'm not sure what to do? It sort of like the world may not end and that their may be some light at the end of the Everton tunnel? My family have described the feeling as "optimism", but I keep on reminding them that this feeling was made illegal in the UK and means tested against if you were Evertonian or not. Any ideas?

However, given this sounds as though it is pretty much a formality with Friedkin Group, then you would think plans/stratergies for the club will be getting formulated and put in to place ready to go on day one.

RuffRob Posted Tuesday at 09:55 Report Share Posted Tuesday at 09:55 I would love to know the value of the deal. Read its between £400M and £500M. I wonder if that is on top of the £200M they have already put in -so maybe being a total of £600- £700M. - so lets assume £650M Although the new stadium was originally budgeted to cost £500M, it will finally come in at around £760M. So in todays money the club now have a £750M state of the art modern stadium. Read that Moshiri will be walking away with a personnal loss of around £750M. So the day that the final paperwork gets signed Moshiri takes will take with him all of the monies that the club paid for shit transfer over the past 6-7 years. The day he leave all that burden on the club should actually leave with him. So for around £650M, TFG are getting a brand new £750M, revenue generating stadium, plus a long standing PL football club (who historically are a top 6 club - and genuinly are the biggest preverbial sleeping giant of the league) and who I would argue now going in to 2025 actually have their wage bill liabilities etc under reasonable control. At around £650M I think TFG are getting a decent deal, as simply a brand new stadium costs more than that!!! and the new owners getting the best deal possible can only be a good thing for us. If the lions share of this £650M purchase is indeed equity over debt - then the club should instantly flip over to be in a fairly healthy financial condition. Genuinly optomistic.
