Every soccer fan wants the club that they support to win trophies. However, that is only possible if that club has good owners. The size of their bank account does not decide a good owner, but whether they share the same ambition as the club he owns. It has to be a coherent mix of both of these factors. However, what’s the point if that billionaire owner doesn’t share the same vision as the fans? A few years ago, Hollywood superstar, Sylvester Stallone, publicly expressed that he should have purchased a soccer club while it was possible.

Is Sylvester Stallone a diehard Toffee?

Sylvester Stallone has been an Everton fan for the longest time. In 2007, the Hollywood superstar was seen cheering the players at Everton’s home ground Goodison Park. Stallone has never really publicly showcased his love for The Toffees, but throughout the course of time, Stallone proved how much he loved the club.

Stallone once revealed to Daily Mirror, “If I knew what I know now I’d have snapped it up”, he continued, “That was when football clubs were affordable but now it’s a billionaire’s game. “I’d need to do one of these ads every day for the next 1,000 years…”

He loved the atmosphere that soccer stadiums have while a match is on. In 2015, Stallone was shooting for one of his movies Creed 2. While shooting, he thought, why not merge the atmosphere of a soccer match and a boxing match together? Before you knew it, the Creed 2 crew was at Goodison Park, ready at halftime to record the atmosphere of the stadium.

Stallone showed up on the big screen and urged all the fans to help his crew out. However, that was not the end of it. In the movie Creed 2, former professional boxer Tony Bellow was seen sporting a pre-match kit that had the Everton crest on it.

Other interesting takeovers that could’ve changed soccer

Almost every month there are potential club takeover rumors in the world of soccer. While very few of them come true, the rumors are endless. One of the most famous potential takeovers was an Everton one itself. We roll back the calendar to the 1997/98 season. At that time, there was a rumor that the Sultan of Brunei wanted to take over Goodison Park. At that time, he was estimated to be one of the richest men on the planet.

Ultimately, the deal didn’t go through. There have been many other rumors as well. The latest of them all was Sir Jim Ratcliffe wanting to take over Manchester United. Another example of this was when Spotify co-founder Daniel Ek publicly had a very strong interest in buying the Gunners.
