The Friedkin Group (They're selling up)

[Cods]

Does he love the women's team?

Hopefully mate.
I do.

But yes I take your point. Old habits die hard.

On the day we get a 14m cash injection, the shite sign a 5 year deal for 300m with Turkish Airlines.

Everton fans are fuming at their club’s dismal transfer window. After all those years of Moshiri/Kenwright misery they’re starting to think Dan Friedkin is perhaps not their knight in shining armour after all. Especially now it’s reported that the Friedkin Group is looking to sell a significant minority stake in the club already.

So what has made Friedkin seemingly lose interest in the Merseyside club? Perhaps the roots lie in a billionaire love tangle.

Back before she became Mrs Jeff Bezos, sources close to Lauren Sanchez tell us she long had her eye on marrying a billionaire. And for a while the billionaire she was closest to was Dan Friedkin.

Then, of course, came the Sanchez-Bezos dick-pic scandal in the National Enquirer, the divorces and the Venice Wedding.

Meanwhile Dan Friedkin had quietly bought Everton FC to add to his sports portfolio. Then just as the season started, it was announced that a consortium featuring Jeff Bezos was buying into the EPL. And not just any club, the one just down the road from Everton - Liverpool FC.

So, Bezos buys Liverpool, two weeks later Everton’s transfer window closes with a whimper, one week on from that the club is at least partly for sale.

Coincidence? All eyes will be on the Directors’ Box at the Merseyside Derby, 28th November...

Yeah, our owners saw Bezos investing in the shite and absolutely bricked their pants and ran into hiding

Sounds like something a kopite would love to say to wind up the Blues

Not so outlandish if you put it in the context of 'humiliation' of a former rival. Friedkin buys us, Bezos decides to invest in our rivals, with big money. I thought similar when Mourinho moved to United, then his nemesis turned up at city and dominated the league... Freidkin can't compete with Bezos, so he decides to get off. Probably not related, but it's all ego with billionaires

I think it'd be a possibility if they were both sat there at their games, heavily invested in what was happening on the pitch.

The fact Friedkin hasn't ever attended a match means he's highly unlikely to give a fuck who owns our rivals.

They bought a distressed asset, and can now probably sell half the shares for around what they paid for the full amount, so it's purely flipping us for profit.

I think where this shite comes from explains it all…popbitch….ffs…if anyone actually believes that….well fkk me…I’m off to the moon to visit elvis….i’ll put it on my podcast…let ye know what he says…have a listen it’s called uttershite…..it’s on the utter crap conspiracy theory channel….
