Wonder if the stadium being pretty much done has helped?

Hard to not get a little excited... but I was excited about Moshiri, so I'm trying to keep the expectations low.

The only thing.im really excited about us maybe borrowing money from legitimate sources instead of R&M funding or their like.

He was using the old tried and tested Bill Kenwright method of selection for new owners.

Hardly a multi club model when he only owns Roma like.

Loads showing their face now though isn't there?

They own AS Cannes in the French fourth tier.

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 see it as Friedkin would result in a lot more money being thrown at it if possible, but balanced off we’d likely be part of wanting to play league games in Tokyo etc

Bell and Downing more in touch with the fan base but not with the same financial clout

Got to think we want to be qualifying for Europe at some point in the future haven't we?

Multi -club model seems to make that difficult

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