He wasn't a good business man though, at least not in the footballing sense.

Fairly certain that was all sorted when Friedkin had the initial exclusivity period. Paid them off before running aground with the Leadenhall dispute

I'd rather have people help run the club with brains over emotion. KenWright couldn't see through his tinted glasses, like the doting parent who can't see they're harming their child because they believe they love them too much to do that.

Again, a slightly negative take on it, but I'm not sure we will get either brains or emotion with this deal, in fact it's almost like their lack of brains sent then down the big Dunc route cause of the emotion of the fans, then it spiralled down hill from there

Think you give kenwright way too much credit. He loved owning everton way more than he loved everton. He didn't mind harming the club if it allowed him to cling to power. Saddled us with expensive loans, lied about funding for a great stadium, lied about the quality of an awful stadium, didn't invest a single penny. This wasn't a man that loved us too much

What’s this about the Friedkins going down the Big Dunk route ?

I think it's more a mixture of both. He was an Evertonian for sure. Much more than a businessman anyway

Lets just get one thing straight here, Kenwright was only ever concerned about himself and his keeping his pals sweet. He was never interested in taking this club forward. That was evident when turned down the chance to move to the Kings Dock twenty years ago. Not an Evertonian in my eyes.

Please forgive my ignorance and i know from the outset it said the takeover would not be done until December, but what does the footballing bodies have to do to "approve" it all.

Maybe i`m being a pessimist but it just seems odd to me ,i know they say no news is good news but ,and i know i`m stating the obvious but change is needed at Everton FC and the sooner it can be started the better

Plus another factor is my son is a Forest fan ,so is my eldest daughters partner and to top it all off my son in law is red

Reverse emancipation is the answer to that one.

They don't approve it - they just confirm there's no objections.

So it's all with TFG and the banks at the moment. December is the point at which it is expected they will go to the PL and ask if there's any issues with them buying the club.

Unlike the last lot, there isn't any obvious worries, so the PL are expected to waive it through in a week or 3.

Simon Jordan saying it’s done. So take that with as much salt as you like.

Get him in today and sack him the day after West Ham

That’s not the case at all. The FA, PL and FCA all have to approve the purchase. They cant outright block it but they do have to approve it. There are set criteria the purchasers have to meet. Once they have shown they can meet those criteria then the approvals will be given. FCA is about providing credit facilities to consumers. (Season tickets etc) and possibly money laundering checks. The FA approve them to be directors in English football and then the premier league approve the purchase based on meeting set criteria. Those normally are background checks and making sure certain types of convictions aren’t present. Funding for the purchase and funding for a period of time going forward.
