What happened with Roma's new stadium that Meis was designing?

Halted indefinitely in 2021.

Planning legislation hell

Andy Bell and George Downing’s takeover bid is a mix of equity and a £350M loan secured on the new stadium that would refinance Everton’s existing debts.

That loan would be provided by the BDT & MSD Partners, Dell has no desire in buying Everton

This could have been done like 9 months ago. Fuck off Moshiri.

I don't like the sound of a couple of Evertonians (however successful in their fields) with no record in sport taking over the club on the back of somebody else's money.

Doesn’t Andy bell have something to do with sake rugby club?

Just for info, Roma's fans seem to be generally very happy with the Friedkin group. They are a notoriously difficult to please group of fans, because they haven't had the success that they crave historically, as a big club based in the capital city.

In a financially challenged league, they've apparently put £1bn into the club, having brought a number of players (Lukaku, Dybala) and Mourinho that would've been too big for Roma previously, and led them to two European finals, winning one of them.

My worry with the Friedkin option is that maybe Roma would come above us in the pecking order, or certainly on the same level so there would be a division of resources between two similarish sized clubs.

Also Roma fans don't seem to thrilled about it, looking on their forums. They would've been happy for their owners to buy a smaller English club than Everton, but they are concerned that we'd overtake them as the main priority of the Friedkin Group.

I don’t know how the multi-club model works honestly but surely you wouldn’t prioritise one over the other. How does that make any business sense?

Well like the City model works with City at the top of the pyramid, and they are able to take players/expertise from the clubs ''further down'' in their group, like signing Savio from Girona this summer or they might loan players out who they want to develop within their system.

From what I've read about multi club models, there's a natural hierarchy in each one where the biggest club in the richest league tends to get the most resources and time directed to it, because the potential rewards there are greater. I think it's quite normal.

Oh fuck that then

There's also a lot of speculation from Roma fans that the interest in Everton means that he'd sell Roma, because two largish basket case clubs with intense fanbases would be too much to handle. It's all guesswork at this point.
