Essix Blue Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 So if the takeover of Everton goes through, 10 of the 20 Prem teams will be American owned. Good thing or not? Adverts in the middle of games to come?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradowl Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 New owners at Everton have got there fingers in a number of clubs, fans of other clubs not that impressed with them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at 777's other football assets this doesn't look good. Herta Berlin are now in the second division despite a top class stadium that they can't fill, Sevilla are bottom of their league and Standard Leige's fans are in active revolt against their owners. It sounds like it will be business as usual for Everton and not the decent management that they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActonOwl Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Bad for them. Good for some of us that want to see Everton relegated . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 2 minutes ago, neo hippy said: Problem being too many and there won't be any relegation This. Generally speaking, American owners are in the game to make money. The best way I can describe American sports and their leagues is there's almost a façade of competition, but there's not that same level of consequence for being a bit sh*t. Heck, if you finish bottom, you get the first pick at the draft, don't you? The meritocratic nature of European football does not sit well with all that. As we all know, a relegation from the Premier League (even with parachute payments) massively hits a club in the coffers and hurts an owner and their shareholders investment. Takes 14 out of the 20 teams to vote for a change in PL rules. Half of the league owned by American owners, one owned by the Saudi state and you also have Chelsea with American owners and Saudi investment.

Ever the pessimist Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 If they could scrap it all and start again, the money men would want 16 or so franchises, no relegation, each game being an all day event, no relegation etc like in NFL. American ownership may want some of that introduced in any case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Señor Sam Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 Bad thing, they’ll be voting for an all star game and all the rubbish, ie most powerful shot, best dribbler et al that goes with it. In the middle of the season. Russian Warship.... Go fxxk yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
