People are still judging The Friedkin Group on headlines instead of patterns.
Go and look at what they actually DID at Roma.
When they arrived in 2020, Roma were financially unstable, disconnected from supporters, constantly changing direction and miles away from competing properly at the top level.
Sound familiar?
Fast forward a few years and Roma:
* Won the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2022.
* Reached a Europa League Final in 2023.
* Increased commercial revenue massively.
* Rebuilt the connection between club and supporters.
* Started operating with a clearer football structure.
* Continued pushing forward plans for a new stadium and long-term growth.
And here’s the important bit…
They didn’t do it overnight.
The Friedkins aren’t owners who walk in throwing soundbites around every week. They build infrastructure first. Stability first. Identity first.
That’s EXACTLY what’s starting to happen at Everton.
* New stadium.
* New leadership structure.
* High profile commercial deals.
* Bigger Transfer Budgets.
* A manager in David Moyes who understands the club.
* A feeling of togetherness returning for the first time in years.
Everton finishing 13th in the first season after leaving Goodison wasn’t the end goal.
It was the foundation.
Roma under The Friedkin Group showed what happens when a massive sleeping football club finally gets aligned behind one vision. European finals. Bigger commercial growth. Better recruitment structure. Fans believing again.
And honestly?
For the first time in a VERY long time… Everton feels like a club that’s preparing for the future instead of just trying to survive the present.
That’s us Blues should be excited!
Not because everything’s already fixed.
Because you can finally see where this is heading.
Really poor end of the season. But if you had offered me 13th and not worrying about relegation once throughout the season, id have taken it. Very underwhelming at times, but we have to improve over the summer. Never wanted Moyes back, but I'd probably stick with him for now
@DrDJWilde@HLTCO Agreed, football was terrible. But kept us up under circumstances 99% of other managers wouldn't. Ill always be thankful for what he dealt with.
Mad isn't it....this time last year, everyone was loosing their heads when Keane signed an extension. Now its lauded by absolutely everyone. Just shows most fans dont have a fuckin clue really......
Let the football people do the football 😆
