Former AS Roma football director Walter Sabatini has accused Everton’s possible owners, the Friedkin outfit, of ‘unbearable arrogance’ in their management of the Italian outfit.
Tuttomercatoweb covered Sabatini’s comments to Il Messaggero today, in which he slammed the American owners.

He was hired as manager last season and given a new contract in the summer, but was fired after a poor start to the season.
That has caused a heated reaction from the fandom, which has already forced CEO Lina Souloukou’s resignation and plastered Rome with posters demanding that the American owners leave. Another protest is scheduled for this week ahead of the meeting with Inter Milan.
