Great move IMO. By all accounts, he was a quiet shareholder at Arsenal and is very business savvy. He absolutely reamed Kroenke and the board for certain financial driven moves (selling off players like RvP).

As a Padres fan, I did not want to go through another John Jay Moores ownership roller coaster. Really preferred that no American bought the club unless the SKC group were involved. Those guys really take care of their supporters and build their squad for success.

Glad it turned out the way it did though.

Locals at Goodison claim that current fan unrest towards a manager is the highest its been in decades.
