Everton are considering repurposing Goodison Park for their women’s team. This has actually been on the radar for a few weeks now but only since Liverpool City Council wanted to start charging rent for Walton Hall Park. It would make a lot of sense on several fronts and preserve its legacy #EFC

THE GULF OF EVERTON πŸ”΅

Amazing, isn't it? A couple tactical tweaks, the addition of Jake O'Brien, some positivity, and Everton are transformed, compared to where we were two months ago. David Moyes.

πŸ†•οΈ In 24 hours, the first game will be played at our new home on Bramley Moore Dock with 10,000 fans in attendance as our under 18s take on Wigan under 18s πŸ”΅ For those lucky enough to be attending, please find the event information & expectations ⬇️ www.evertonfc.com/season-25-26...

Terms are mostly irrelevant. Nobody's taking this job without financial security built in. Club can still fire him whenever they want. He can leave whenever he wants. Seen a lot of posts about 2.5 years. Meh.

This was the risk of sacking Dyche now. You're going to replace him with another caretaker. Moyes is a caretaker. TFG will still be on the lookout for the manager to open the new stadium and a squad built accordingly in the summer.

TFG were hoping for a smooth ramp up at Everton. Unfortunately on-pitch results forced them to make a change they preferred not to make until summer. TFG has made a significant financial impact on the club already. They are serious about protecting that investment.

"He's not good enough to start, so get rid of him" is an interesting way to build a squad.

The December we'd been dreading is almost over. Sitting at 6 points with a match to play. Up the stingy Toffees!

Whether it's a Happy Christmas or a Merry Christmas, depending where you are, hope it's a great one. Cheers everyone! πŸŽ„πŸ»πŸ₯‚

Hell hath no fury like an Evertonian scorned.

We're weathering the December storm that we'd been dreading. Holding serve.

Up the Boring Blues!

PL will apply City's punishment to this season when it doesn't cost them anything.

Could have a full squad at some point in January with some additions, maybe?

Everton handed the keys to the kingdom.

Nice touch at The Friedkin Group offices in Houston, Texas. Makes it seem real! Source: @Brett_LSU_EFC (on the other place)

Bobblers podcast goes ahead this evening! Wych is joined by @barrywilliams93.bsky.social @virtuousblue.bsky.social and @rob-fisher-efc.bsky.social to talk through the past, the present and what's hopefully a bright blue future. Plenty of Guinness shall be consumed and will be out late evening.

Please find our statement on today's takeover by The Friedkin Group πŸ”΅β¬‡οΈ

Moshiri should attend a match at the new stadium. It's the one positive remaining of his legacy and what made us an attractive asset for buyers. He made a mess of us, but I'll give him this.

Financial stability. A million ton weight off our shoulders. Now we move forward.

"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." πŸ€πŸ”΅

The ideal sports team owner is committed to investing what's necessary to win, yes. But not unlike any other business, the smart team owner hires people smarter than him/her and lets them do their job. Stay out of the way and sign the checks.

Within the proper football structure, I think Kevin Thelwell could find his place. He's done well, in my opinion, despite considerable constraints. Don't mind him getting a chance to succeed under new ownership.

One of our favourite days of the year. πŸ’™ Our Men's Senior squad made their Christmas visit to spend with the incredible patients, families and staff at @alderheycharity.org. πŸŽ„

We need something positive to happen for us. Please be it.

Nearly there. More hurdles cleared today and The Friedkin Group's takeover of Everton expected to be confirmed in next 24 hours www.nytimes.com/athletic/600...

Who's tracking flights? You know you are. πŸ˜‰

I remember how excited I was when Moshiri bought the club. But looking back on it, my sole focus was the money. I didn't know much at all about him, who he was in dealings with, and what football experience he had, if any. Friedkin is a known commodity. ...

White smoke from the Liver Building any day now. Although I'm told with the wind, might not work too well. πŸ˜‰
