I judge them on their extensive history of past and present business dealings , and on that they are an untrustworthy group I wouldn’t touch with a barge pole.
I am surprised you haven’t even made your self aware of the Genoa issue , but I didn’t say people were forced to do anything , rather they are being conned. Confidence tricksters don’t force you to do anything , they convince you to act in their interests believing they are your interests also.
Ultimately, I think they are vultures who will pick our bones clean , and there has been no evidence to the contrary throughout this debate.
You are basing your acquiescence of their bid on blind faith as far as I can tell, by refusing to examine their record or question their motives.
I still suspect they will not pass the fit and proper persons test , surely any group who continually fail to pay their bills cannot be allowed to own a PL club, especially under the toughened tests ?
We will see I suppose.

No blind faith from me - I'll judge them on actions just like anyone else.

They might well do a terrible job running the club, but I don't think we know anywhere near enough to have a firm opinion and I don't really think these pieces of evidence tell us much about how they would try to run Everton. The premier league is a completely different level to anything else they have been involved in.

Saw this last night.

I think Dave is truly tremendous and I also think in 777, CEO Don Dransfield is a very clever and smart asset something I wish Moshiri did when he bought us years ago.

I think the multi club model is interesting however I am glad we will be the big fish in their pond but I fear for the other clubs who don't have access to the money we receive but that could change if we are relegated.

I worry about the money aspects and what will be the debt layed onto the club plus where it comes from. Also no word on Chairman Bill which again worries me.

Ideally, we are sold to a group/owner who will appoint the best people to gain the most for Everton in every level - boardroom to pitch. But politics aside, we would require a Saudi/Dubai/Qatari level to really achieve this.

I hope there is a group out there to save us from Moshiri, Bill and vultures like 777

Agree with a lot of that mate, well thought out reply, Dransfield interests me he comes from a good football background and has experience at Man City at a high level. 777 still worry me though with their background. Oh and don't worry about old Bill, he's just hedging his bets, waiting to see which way the land lays. Bill will be seeing what's in it for him in other words..

Same really, but that's exactly what Dave Kelly told Dransfield in their talks together in that clip.

What role do the FCA actually do with the Premier league?

What does this fit and proper persons test actually involve?

Heard a lot about yes they will pass because of newcastle. Heard a lot because they don't pay bills and/or ontime so won't get pass the FCA?

What do the FCA actually do in this fit and proper test?

Senior Management Functions (SMFs) and Certification Staff need to be fit and proper for their roles. See how our Fitness and Propriety (F&P) requirements apply to your firm.

Absolutely.

It's like looking at the Esk's lists of demands. He wants -
Billionaires to buy
Clear the debt
Pay for the stadium
Increase commercials
Investment in the squad

You're talking close to a £2billion takeover to tackle every single thing.

Absolute pipe dream in this current climate.

I’m not sure the owners exist who could satisfy esk’s demands- he clearly has a realistic view of the world of finance but a weird misty eyed view of football ownership that someone with the money required to own the club is going to take over for the sole good of the club and not for their own enrichment, that sadly these days is nigh on impossible.

What he’s looking for is a gentleman billionaire with a heart of gold and a Goodison season ticket since birth and they don’t exist.

Think he was angling for MSP as they have links to Bahrain and seem a bit more used to working in sport than 777, they just didn't want to pay Moshiri's price, they were looking at alot less hence just the loan.
 
Then you have this...

To (probably poorly, apologies in advance) paraphrase John Daley...who I hear you say, it doesnt matter really - but credit where credit is due...

People are still pondering and wringing hands about a choice between
Moshiri - who Has run the Club into borderline bankruptcy and/or administration
or
777 - who  Only May run the Club Into borderline bankruptcy and/or administration

We’re a club with debt up to our eyeballs and poor at being run as a business, Middle Eastern ownership isn’t going to happen as it’s too risky but a year or two getting the debts down and the club more business savvy and we’re looking more enticing
 
ToffeeTim said:
You may well be right, but the alternative is Moshiri remaining in control and not being able to fund the club. I'm very happy to see how new ownership would go, because I don't think it could possibly be worse.

it’s not tho someone else will buy us

you really want a company who have no money and our defaulting everywhere?
