Not sure what this means but it means something! US fund manager Christopher Sarofim, a minority owner of the NFL’s Houston Texans, has joined the board of Everton FC after buying into the club’s ownership group.
Sarofim, 63, is chairman of Fayez Sarofim and Co, a fund set up by his father which manages $30bn in assets, and a friend of new Everton owner Dan Friedkin.
He has bought an undisclosed minority stake in Roundhouse Capital, which Friedkin set up to buy the Premier League club last year, and will become a board observer at Everton.
“Christopher Sarofim is someone I have known and respected for many years, ” said Friedkin.

Hopefully means more money in the pot for club costs and transfers mate.

Another Billionaire can’t have too many of them.
3.) 23 Apr 2025 19:27:57
Looks a good move this one.
4.) 23 Apr 2025 19:34:29
How many billionaires does it take to run a football club properly…?
5.) 23 Apr 2025 20:24:34
As the late great 02 said in the early days, expect the Friedkins to look immediately to outside investors to share the load. I'd expect another 1 or 2 within 12 months.
6.) 23 Apr 2025 22:28:26
Fans shouldn’t get excited and think this appointment will mean more money to spend.
Its a sensible appointment of an experienced businessman who will bring a wealth of experience which will hopefully stand the club in good stead for further investment and development - it won’t see his money being used to bolster the squad.
06 Jan 2025 19:12:40
Internet full of people saying it's done? Wishful thinking or truth?
1.) 06 Jan 2025 19:32:09
Just got message from mate from taxi club Walton saying he has definitely gone. God I hope so.
{Ed025's Note - yeah...But has he gone yet Reg?..
2.) 06 Jan 2025 20:06:41
Was that just a taxi back from the pub Reg or home? ?.
3.) 06 Jan 2025 20:09:44
Refresh Refresh Refresh Refresh Refresh.
4.) 06 Jan 2025 20:13:58
I keep seeing Refresh mentioned. Is he a manager or player? Is he any good? ?.
5.) 06 Jan 2025 20:18:06
Bet it was a big Yellow One Nick mate.
6.) 06 Jan 2025 20:21:01

Beto at airport heading for Italy.
1.) 05 Jan 2025 17:21:06
With his heading ability cookie he will probably end up in Scandinavia ?.
2.) 05 Jan 2025 17:35:13
Get as much as we can and invest in someone who can pass, run and shoot.
3.) 05 Jan 2025 17:45:31
Yep JB likeable guy gave his all but just not good enough.
4.) 05 Jan 2025 18:06:19
Pass, run and shoot JB? According to dyche we already have a player who can do that. Mr Doucoure lol.
30 Aug 2024 23:16:09
Deal sheet in for Broja?
1.) 30 Aug 2024 23:34:55
Evidently they have two hours to complete the paper work. If they have submitted a deal sheet does that mean that Everton and Chelsea have an agreement and Broja has agreed to join us?
2.) 30 Aug 2024 23:38:39
would be upgrade on Beto if he can play in Oct.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 23:44:39
Sorry just read about "deal sheets", it would appear that providing we can submit the paper work in the required time frame he is ours. Unfortunately he has an injury and reportedly will not be available to play until mid-October.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 23:51:30
4 strikers though? When we know SD will only ever play one? Odd transfer for me. I had an inkling that Dom might go and Fofana might come in. As always, will reserve judgement until the lad pulls the shirt on.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 23:59:48
The lad has a lot of question marks against his name but can he strike a football - yes. Has he got good feet - yes. Can he carry the ball and bring others into play - yes. Are we stronger with him in the squad than without him - yes.
The fact that there is an option to buy makes this deal pretty good for us, all things considered.
6.) 31 Aug 2024 02:02:31
Think he's signed according to reports.
7.) 31 Aug 2024 08:38:29
It’s a loan with option to buy next summer no payment until he’s played for the first team.
8.) 31 Aug 2024 09:16:47
Sensible deal then. Wonder if that means Beto will leave in the next couple of days.
9.) 31 Aug 2024 10:09:45
Hit the nail on the head JB. Now have four strikers, bench is going to be packed because he will probably only play one.
10.) 31 Aug 2024 11:11:07
I reckon dom goes saudi like toney.
11.) 31 Aug 2024 12:33:36
Win win, he's had a weird window with going to Ipswich twice ?. Atleast he's another option and if useless we can send him back!
12.) 31 Aug 2024 12:34:43
I know there will be mixed feelings, but I'm a little disappointed Dom hasn't gone with Broja coming in. I think Dom's commitment to the club is getting less and less. Hopefully a new striker will make him play for his place so he can advertise himself to a new club for next season. I just wish we had taken some money for him when we had the chance.
13.) 31 Aug 2024 13:54:11
I think me personally i think its boosts are attacking options i'm happy we have him on loan just the injuries concern me but if he has good season we can purchase broja and if he doesn't can send him back but i'm kinda happy having him and hopefully we can turn his form around touch wood.
14.) 01 Sep 2024 19:37:55
Disappointed we didn’t let Beto go. The guy is a very average footballer, would struggle in the Championship.
30 Aug 2024 12:22:28
Gnotto to Sheff Utd at advanced stage. Wow Everton have been trying for 2 years, obviously not trying too hard.
1.) 30 Aug 2024 12:52:45
That'd be a strange one. Championship to Championship?
2.) 30 Aug 2024 15:58:24
It's his level. Not prem standard.
3.) 30 Aug 2024 18:56:30
Another Lookman but look how he has progressed it's a gamble.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 19:16:25
May as well stay at Leeds then.

Bit bored watching Bournemouth so had a look at some of my old scouting/ player reviews
As you can tell watch a bit of lower league football being in exile down south and just looked at a few players who i remarked on over past couple years. don't think i was far off on most.
Also couple to look out from this season who can easily play Prem.
GK - Trafford, Cooper SU - said for years quality.
DF - Burnley CB not difficult Andrews
M - Fellows Bellingham Rigg Azaz Hackney Alblaster De Noore Brownhill Ronald
F - None at level required. Mehmeti Bristol potentially
Final tip is Tegan Finn just turned 17 at Plymouth and free agent technically as not signed. Similar to Morgan Gibbs White. Raw but 6 years time will be prem star!
03 Jul 2024 17:09:46
Greaves is quality. Phily is quality very skillful but goes missing when heat on, gives Demarai Gray vibes.
15 Aug 2022 13:47:51
Antoine Semenyo linked to us and everyone else today. I saw him in a pre season game and stood out as their best player, similar to Morgan gibbs White In style. Will be good player not quite ready for premier league every week just yet.
05 Oct 2022 11:00:09
Plymouth goalie Michael Cooper is to quote a Belgian a 'Phenomenal' young talent. He will be England goalkeeper at the next World Cup (2026) . If Pickford is to go I urge Everton not to be snobby and go. for him. He is Premier League/ International ready already. Within 6months his value will be 10 times whatever the club who get him buys him for. Really good with his feet, commanding his area and his shot stopping is as good as anyone already. Remember the name!
20 Feb 2023 21:30:58
Morgan Whittaker is good second striker raw but with potential Swansea selling for 1 - 2 million nearly joined Rangers in January but back up option or Sub would suit us. And he's cheap with point to prove.
{Ed025's Note - you do know your stuff Cookie..

2.) 15 Apr 2025 12:40:33
Fancy a job being a scout? Lol.
3.) 15 Apr 2025 14:59:16
Rigg is the real deal. He’ll be on prem next season one way or another.
4.) 15 Apr 2025 17:14:16
Thanks guys. Just to further say I have wrote to Everton telling them to sign these players over the last 15-20years. None signed.
Luis Suarez when at Ajax, Mo Salah at Basel, Kyle Walker after Sheff Utd debut and Michael Cooper/ Tegan Finn from Plymouth.
12 Apr 2025 19:58:22
Upto 14th and 13th tomorrow keep rising blues coybs.
1.) 13 Apr 2025 09:11:50
OMG what a team, Forrest were never in it well done blue boys and well done to all the fans who travelled there.
15 Feb 2025 20:42:32
Who knew we had bought some good players.
1.) 15 Feb 2025 22:28:36
Not Dyche, that's for sure! Beto looking like the answer all of a sudden. Even Myko looking solid and dependable all of a sudden. Can't wait to see more from Alcaraz, who looks an absolute steal for that price. Fair play to Thelwell, he's found a few gems in dire circumstances.
04 Feb 2025 17:16:12
Anyone going to youth cup tonight? Playing my local team Plymouth Argyle. Plymouth team made up from 16 year olds one of which will be a superstar. Nunber 10 16yr old Tegan Finn, I have messaged Thelwell telling him to be all over it. Hopefully, he pays attention. Forest and Brighton have since already sniffed around but do know he has a soft spot for the blues.
09 Jan 2025 20:48:27
So Moyes looking strong favourite. I am content safe pair of hands. Reaction online is mixed. What's everyones thoughts.
1.) 09 Jan 2025 21:52:15
Nooooooooooooooooo.
2.) 09 Jan 2025 21:56:38
Not for me but will him support him mate.
3.) 09 Jan 2025 22:07:55
No no no no no no no. He's past it now with old ways.
4.) 09 Jan 2025 22:10:15
No thanks moyes. I look bavk quite fondly at his time at the club but we need to stop with this acting like mercenaries. Move on find a manager that is truely going to move the team forward.
5.) 09 Jan 2025 22:20:36
Chuffed. Stay in the in league, sign players who are actually good and improve the team, probably for a fair price. Get to the summer with a DOF hired, hire the right man, Frank or whoever it maybe and go from there. I would be petrified to try and play too much real footie with our lot.
Football may not be the best, but it will be like dutch's total football in the 80s conpared to to that utter dross we have watched with Seany.
6.) 10 Jan 2025 00:00:21
End of season then probably perfect appointment. He's superior to SD. Evolution not revolution and he isn't terrible in the transfer market. Smooths a slate with the fans for past discretions and both he and the club part ways for a new era both the better for it. Sounds great to me.
22 Apr 2025 17:25:13
I said that would be city's initial offer. Think it will end up at 50-60m plus Delap on loan for year before we accept. But I don't know just a feeling.
21 Apr 2025 13:00:25
Think he will rejoin City who will loan him out depending on who they want to buy. Can see a deal where Branthwaite is wanted by City plus we get offered Delap on loan plus 30m.
11 Apr 2025 16:14:23
My son told me yesterday that City verdict will now be in the summer. he's not in the know as far as I know but he seems as certain as a typical 14yr old.
07 Apr 2025 20:24:02
Move on but show appreciation for years of service including that goal. Not many have deserved a send off - he does!
06 Mar 2025 16:49:57
Seen him a couple times lively knows where the goal is at championship level. Touch lightweight imo reminds me of slightly better version of Maupay as a footballer (not as a person thankfully) .

Was at the game on saturday looked quality and a threat in addition to. his goal. Can see him taking Doucs place in the squad as backup to Charley.
07 Mar 2025 14:51:32
Class the way he has utter contempt for the Turkish. Like your 80yr old grandma whos gone past caring.
25 Feb 2025 19:04:20
Need to aim to beat 48 from last season. That would be success. Whatever happens really looking forward to next season.
11 Feb 2025 18:31:52
Heating or centre forward? - I know what I want.
