American Investment

[KMC]

The talk doesn't seem to go away. Even my Dad (80+ year old Scouser living in Canada) keeps messaging me about potential take-overs. How do Toffees feel about a faceless venture fund taking over from a present and singular owner?

I might yet come in with a late bid.


The wall botherers and United are available.
We ain't shifting Mosh yet.

Rather have American then Moshiri, anyone but Moshiri..... ANYONE

It's irrelevant, isn't it? Are they going to be richer than those that own City or Newcastle? Our own revenue is way behind that of Spurs, Arsenal, United, Chelsea et al.

It's the same with the new stadium. Sure, it's bigger than Goodison, but it's still way behind the stadia of the teams we're trying to overhaul, so it provides us no relative advantage over them at all, it just reduces a tiny bit our disadvantage.

I posted this in the Moshiri thread ; they prefer the sunshine to a rainy night in Stoke apparently.

I don't really care who takes over, but we need new ownership urgently before we get relegated

Not one American owner has bought into a club that wasn't already a top level outfit and built them up.

Middle Eastern owners have built City, PSG and now Newcastle

Thai/Chinese owners have done well at Leicester and to a lesser extent Wolves.

Russians with likes of Chelsea and very briefly Monaco.

Yet most of the PL are owned by Yanks.

The answer is NO - they buy into clubs to milk them for profit with little intention to win stuff or connect with the clubs history/culture.
