00:00The Everton takeover is obviously a massive topic again. I mean, it's gone on for so long. Is it a case of it finally being solved?
00:09So finally there might be light at the end of the tunnel in terms of an Everton takeover. I mean, it's rumbled on for so long now.
00:17Kaminsky and MSV Sports Capital, 7-7 Partners, Jon Texter and Friedman come back to the table.
00:30I mean, it looks like he's resolved that issue he had with the 7-7 loan and the business of ACAP.
00:37It's positive for Everton, you have to say. He maybe doesn't have the full backhand of the Roma fans after the decision made to get rid of Dalio de Rossi, who's an Athletic Club legend.
00:53But it was a decision that was fairly bold, you have to say, from the freekings. Roma have won the subsequent two games, so maybe it might be the right decision.
01:02Who knows? But ultimately Everton fans will be looking at what Friedman can bring to the table and the decisions he will be making.
01:09And one of them will be the future of Sean Dyche. Sean Dyche is into the final year of his contract. He had to sign a two and a half year deal when he arrived.
01:21He's got a lot of respect among Everton fans. I think you have to take your hat off to the job he's done at Goodson Park.
01:29He kept Everton up in his first season, difficult circumstances, last campaign with the points deductions. Everton ended up staying up comfortably and was a finished 12th in the table.
01:38But it's fair to say that new owners often want to employ their own man.
01:47Sean Dyche has said that he wants to be in charge of the first game at the new stadium in Bramley-Mortoch.
01:52He's put a lot of time and effort into this and he's Everton chapter to end at the end of the season.
02:00But he's probably going to be in an audition now and he'll know that. Without a doubt, he'll know that the owners will be looking at things.
02:07There's already talk of Maurizio Sarri maybe being here in March. I don't know how true those are.
02:14But will Dan Friedkin want to get a big name per se in charge of Everton at a new stadium?
02:22Or will he want a little bit of stability for a pair of years?
02:27As well as Sean Dyche, you're looking at Kevin Felwell, the director of football, whose contract is also up.
02:34Will Dan Friedkin want to get a new man into that post?
02:39Because some of the signings you have to give a lot of credit to and he's worked under difficult circumstances.
02:45That being some maybe like Beto, who he paid a decent chunk for and hasn't quite paid off.
02:53So Kevin Felwell is in a similar boat to Sean Dyche.
02:56But for now, Sean Dyche has just got to keep winning games and delivering results.
03:02Ultimately, maybe Dan Friedkin can decide that he is the man who can take Everton forward into the new stadium.
03:11But Dan Friedkin will be assessing things as they go on and it will be interesting to see what decision is made.
