It’s pretty obvious isn’t it? They stumped up another 8m within days. He’s keeping them around as they’re paying to keep the club afloat

Wasn’t the £8m already due to be paid at that point anyway? It was in a holding account or something.

In a classic Rumsfeld move it's not even his concept, despite him getting all the coverage for it and it becoming popularly known as Rumsfeldian philosophy. He nicked it from a professor of philosophy at the University of Arizona, Dr Ann Kerwin who produced her map of ignorance using exactly these terms in 1983. And of course the philosophy of ignorance has been around in some form or another for at least 4,000 years. The man is a shyster.

Alright Claus lad. We all know you agree with what the league did to us and wanted more points off us. We get it
Personally think asking for a 17 points deduction is harsh. But I must be in the minority

Legs in the Textor rumour it seems. Needs to get a move on though.

“Yes (I’ve had conversations around buying Everton),” Textor told The Athletic. “With the existing constituents – different groups, different lenders, different equity holders.
“I’ve asked them ‘is there a way to solve all this confusion and address everyone’s problems?’ I’m very open-minded to it but I don’t want to come into a situation where I’m not really welcome.
“I’m watching it but 777 still has a contract. There are people that are close to the club who care a lot about it who are also investing.
“There’s the guy running it (Moshiri) who’s still calling the shots. Maybe we’re uniquely positioned to solve a lot of problems for people but we’re just watching it right now because there are other people who already own pieces of that club who also want to figure it out. I’m looking at that but it’s quite confusing and some things have to clean up.”
“Everton represents the best of English football: the struggles, the glory, the want. I love that it’s out of London. Everybody should want to buy Everton right now,” he said.
“That kind of club is what I’m referring to, where the risk and the reward of your relationship and community is so great and you could come in, make promises and keep them. How great would it be to take one of these great English clubs back to sort of glory?
“We’re also looking at other opportunities and we don’t need to jump right out of Palace right into something. That’d be a mistake.
“I suspect that the problem with Everton is it won’t be available by the time we would be ready for it. You can’t own two clubs in one league and we’re not going to rush the situation at Palace, no matter how good another opportunity looks.”

Yes, I accept that this is now interest elsewhere.
As long as the fella can bin off his other bird, we have a chance of getting our leg over.

I suspect this won't happen because we need a sale ASAP.
However, it's good to hear someone else being interested and actively referring to us as a club everyone should be interested in buying! Hopefully there are others who will be thinking along the same lines!
Ugh, that started promising and got worse near the end.
Exactly this. His last sentences sum it up
“I suspect that the problem with Everton is it won’t be available by the time we would be ready for it. You can’t own two clubs in one league and we’re not going to rush the situation at Palace, no matter how good another opportunity looks.”
He won't be our saviour anytime soon, but it suggests that he expects someone else will be in a better place and will be ready to buy is.
