🔵Everton FC Takeover Confirmed🔵 A new chapter dawns for Everton FC as the Friedkin Group, led by American billionaire Dan Friedkin, agrees to purchase the majority stake from Farhad Moshiri’s Blue Heaven Holdings. This landmark deal, announced on 23 September 2024, offers the promise of stability for a club that has been reeling from financial and on-field struggles for years. The Friedkin Group, already well-established in European football through their ownership of AS Roma, sees Everton as a key part of their growing football portfolio. Under Friedkin’s leadership, Roma secured a UEFA Europa Conference League title in 2022, stabilising both financially and competitively. Evertonians are hopeful this expertise can help guide their club to brighter times. Farhad Moshiri’s ownership of Everton, which began in 2016, was marked by heavy investment but limited success. Despite signing high-profile players and managers, the club failed to consistently challenge for European places, and financial difficulties worsened due to spiralling debts and poor results on the pitch. For many fans, this deal represents a much-needed reset. In a joint statement, a Friedkin Group spokesperson said, "Our priority is to restore stability and bring long-term success to Everton. We are committed to ensuring the completion of the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, a project that symbolises the future we envision for this proud club." The deal, still subject to regulatory approvals from the Premier League, FA, and Financial Conduct Authority, follows months of uncertainty for Everton. After initially withdrawing from talks in July, The Friedkin Group re-entered negotiations, eventually outbidding rivals like Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor. For Everton fans, who have endured years of frustration, this agreement brings hope. The promise of completing the new stadium and ensuring the club’s long-term financial health is a positive sign. Supporters are cautiously optimistic that The Friedkin Group’s leadership will bring the vision and stability needed to return the club to its former glory. As the regulatory process begins, Everton’s future now hinges on how swiftly the takeover can be finalised. With the 2024-25 season already underway, all eyes will be on the impact of this new ownership on the Toffees’ fortunes, both on and off the pitch. https://lnkd.in/ekcT58pK #Evertonfc #FootballFinance

If you will, you can!! A stellar comeback from RCB being right at the bottom for almost half the tournament. Everyone in the team had the pulse and played as if there was NO TOMORROW. Heartbreak for CSK, but an incredible sporting contest between both teams. My takeaways: 1. Fight till the end, no matter what is the result. 2. A GOOD TEAM wins (RCB last 7 games) and not just a team with a good leader (RCB first 7 games). Victory is always by the Team. 3. Give 💯 at present, no matter your past performance (Good/Bad) 4. Keep improving every day (learning from mistakes/feedbacks) and one day the momentum WILL SHIFT! 5. It's OK to lose when you give 101% in your efforts. Only ONE can win at the end. There is no WIN-WIN always 😉 6. Have Fire in the Belly, but (try to) stay Ice-cool till the end! #ProudCSKfan #wellplayedRCB #THALAforever 😍

As Everton Football Club stands at a crossroads, the team's future is being shaped by a blend of intricate financial manoeuvres and an uncertain ownership landscape. These challenges have placed Everton in a delicate position, where strategic decisions and financial acumen are crucial. In recent years, Everton has faced significant financial hurdles, prompting decisive actions to stabilise the club's economic foundation. A major component of this effort is a substantial £200 million loan from The Friedkin Group, earmarked for the construction of a state-of-the-art stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. This new home, expected to open in 2025, is a cornerstone of Everton's long-term vision, promising to boost both the club's revenue and its fan experience. The financial restructuring of Everton, overseen by investment bank Lazard, is encapsulated in an initiative known as "Project Saif." This project represents a carefully crafted strategy aimed at securing the club's financial future. In the high-stakes world of professional football, such robust planning is essential, not just for survival but for thriving amidst fierce competition. Adding to the complexity is the cloud of uncertainty surrounding Everton's ownership. The proposed takeover by 777 Partners, a Miami-based investment firm with stakes in several football clubs, has been met with scepticism. The firm faces legal challenges and concerns about its financial stability, casting doubt on its ability to complete the acquisition. This situation has left Everton's future ownership in limbo, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty that permeates through all levels of the club. Amid these challenges, Everton's leadership remains focused on navigating these turbulent waters. The priority is to use all available resources to enhance the team's performance and bolster the club's infrastructure. The new stadium project is not just a symbol of hope but a practical step towards securing a more prosperous future. In conclusion, Everton's current phase is marked by critical financial decisions and an uncertain ownership journey. The club's endeavours, such as Project Saif and the careful evaluation of 777 Partners' takeover bid, highlight the complexities of managing a top-tier football club. As Everton looks ahead, the emphasis is on achieving stability and growth, ensuring that the club can compete effectively in the Premier League and beyond. This period of transformation, while challenging, also offers an opportunity for Everton to solidify its place in English football's elite ranks. #EvertonFC #PremierLeague #FootballFinance #EvertonStadium #777Partners #ProjectSaif #FootballOwnership #EvertonNews #FootballBusiness https://lnkd.in/e9JYkz6j

Sir Clive Woodward claims that the RFU has "sold its soul". I disagree. This week, England Rugby announced the expansion of a pioneering partnership that sees Allianz take on Naming Rights for Twickenham Stadium. (this is the 'soul selling' part). What followed was predictable levels of uproar, shared amongst Rugby Union's commonly dubbed 'traditionalists' (I prefer to think of them as proud champions of the sport!). Sure, I can understand why - the home of England Rugby is steeped in heritage and for the most part, has remained untouched (ignoring British Airways spot on the roof). However, there's a bright side to this story... The harsh reality of the situation is that Rugby Union has been in dire need of a cash injection for some time - from the elite level of the Men's and Women's game, through to grassroots and communities, we've been on the decline. Enter Allianz; a brand with their own rich heritage in the sport, not to mention a network of world class stadia around the globe - put simply, they know what they're doing. This is a partnership, not a sponsorship. Allianz are making a long-term commitment to deliver positive impact beyond bricks and mortar, as indicated by their mission "to help more people watch, support and participate in the sport they love". Promises have been made for a transformative partnership - one that will provide crucial support to organisations at the heart of the sport. Already, Colm Holmes, CEO of Allianz Holdings plc, has announced investment into a programme that will "provide significant investment to grassroots Rugby and help secure the future of the community game". This is what we need! I, for one, feel more optimistic about the future of 'my sport' than I did this time last week. What I hope though, is that the RFU don't shy away from the criticism this partnership has been met with, but rather, openly communicate their plans for reinvestment and redevelopment. Not enough noise is being made about the opportunity that lies ahead. P.S. There's nothing stopping you from continuing to call the ground "Twickenham" or "HQ"...

Brisbane Broncos overtake the Melbourne Storm to be the most widely supported NRL club in 2024 with 1.3 million supporters The latest data from Roy Morgan shows the total #NRL supporter base has grown strongly from a year ago to over 7.4 million Australians (33.1%), up 2.4% from a year ago, who now support an NRL team. Looking over a longer time-period the increase is even more impressive, up by over 2.1 million (+39.7%) compared to four years ago in 2020. For the first time since 2020 it is the Brisbane Broncos who are now the most widely supported #NRL club in 2024 with 1,302,000 supporters, a stunning increase of 152,000 (+13.2%) on a year ago. This boost for the Broncos comes after the club played off in last year’s NRL Grand Final and had their most successful home and away season for over two decades – however, the club failed to repeat their success this year.
