The Friedkin Group (They're selling up)

[Deano Blue Boy]

One of the best bits of all time

I love it

[Escalator]

Friedkin Group currently developing what will be London’s most luxurious and expensive hotel in London, Cambridge House, the old “in and out club” on Piccadilly. Opening April 27 with introductory rates of £900 per night for a double but for £990 per night they will throw in Breakfast. Wonder if Dan will ever bother visiting the place?

I could be wrong, but I'm not sure they have ever been heavily linked with any Premier League clubs, or shown an interest in owning one? Their links come as they were the company that interested parties were essentially borrowing the money from.
Would be a decent outcome for sure, but I think these stories are wide of the mark

He has already tweeted saying it's nonsense.

At least it's a rumour. First in weeks.

Yes. I feel for the people tasked with designing horror movie monsters, there’s nothing scarier for them to dream up than what Republican women do to themselves willingly.

As an aside, this whole process is perverse. Anyone with the remotest interest in purchasing an established PL club in 2026 is going to be an absolute fucking ghoul. Private ownership of clubs is a mistake.

the dell group also owns the nfl team the las vegas raiders - thats my team ive followed since 1984 when they were the la raiders -
the raiders have won fuck all since the 80s - will be suited to owning everton
its a sign.........
and yes Dell boy will be a nickname
if its all true

[Cozzie]

Wasn't Bell and Downing being backed by Dell originally?

The 2 didn't really have the clout to take us over themselves unless I'm getting that wrong.

'My opinion of the value of the equity:
Given that Everton remains a loss making business (estimated at £1 million a week) and the debt levels detailed above I cannot see how the equity value of the club is greater than £250 million. The headline acquisition price maybe near £800 million but that will factor in the debt. As per my previous analysis, I believe Everton have significant future capital calls which I have previously estimated at £400 million when one considers squad investment, some debt repayment, and the currently cancelled capital repayment projects at the new stadium and at Finch Farm.

A further cautionary note is the still live Manchester City case – the impact that that has on future club valuations, and most importantly the potential future litigation that might arise from the case.

Furthermore, the outcome of the Burnley Appeal, due to be heard in the New Year (2027) places further conditionality on any sale, although a potential purchaser may reach a contingent agreement with the Friedkins prior to the appeal concluding.'



So the esk reckons we are still losing £1 Million a week, even after everything that has been put in place, the stadium and the fans getting nickel and dimed out of their tiny minds.

Reading the Esk talk like he’s a respected financial analyst always reminds me of watching a toddler pretending to be a grown up

You may not like him but if you look at the numbers the information is all there to see where we are at, like the hips the numbers don't lie.

Except he does make the numbers lie as it seems to me he purposefully misrepresents them and talks confidently using the right sounding words so he convinces people.

He’s basically like an AI confidently stating half truths as facts and I find it very annoying.

In the link above he’s claiming we’re only “worth” about a quarter of a billion because he’s offsetting the loans, except that’s completely ignoring the asset itself (the stadium).

It’s like claiming everyone with a mortgage is massively in debt because they technically are, but that debt is against an asset.
