That is essentially the crux of what is going on, and we bizarrely thank him for it.

Well, if he hadn't loaned the money, we'd be doing something else to him for it.

It's a loan, loans have interest. I think the problem is that a lot of people expect it to be interest-free "for the good of the club."

10% interest in something you own is extortionate. It's basically taking money off every single fan and investing nothing back. He's not giving us money, or even investing it long term, he's literally lending us it for 12 months off guaranteed income and getting 10% on top.

It's not on.

We will just have to agree to disagree then. Loans have interest, even shareholder loans (if that's what this is). If one shareholder is willing to risk 10 million on a company that can't get financing elsewhere, why shouldn't he get the reward for that risk?

Yet he won't invest anything. Despite expecting a massive return on the pittance he's actually put into the club. His only interest was seeing the club move stadiums so he could make a massive return.

That's my gripe. This man is set to make money of us every single year without putting anything in to deserve it.

35,000+ gullible fans making this man richer and richer. Yes, football is a business, but even so this is insane.

I'd seriously recommend fans boycott the game until the situation changes. The club is dying and will be dead inside five years unless things change.
 

I'm not here to sing the man's praises. I just don't expect him to do something that most other people wouldn't do.

This happens far more often than you'd think.

Plus, it's very possible what has been suggested earlier in the thread, that this isn't Earl's money. Just a holding company that is holding this debt, financed through another institution.
 
What absolute state this has turned into Kudos all round. Some points to consider in the realms of reality, on futher diggin ginto this matter:

A) The origanal source comes from KEIOC - enough said

B) The address is the same building as BCR is registered in, apparently there are a lot of offices in this complex - as one might imagine in a tax haven.

C) This deal see us actually better the bridgeing deal of the past.

D) There isnt any shred of evidance bar paranoia that this money has come rom Robest Earls back pocket - as such it enters the realms of jarg that he chargeing interest on a loan he may not have given.

E) Its prob viable to beleive that Robert Earl has used contacts in the British Virgin Islands to negotiate a better deal for Everton then theones we have seen in recent years, then it is to beleive he has loaned money to the club and now chargeing intrest.

F) KEIOC jarg here - just like the annexe being titaniced.
 
I agree.

Is this 100% confirmed true, and is it 100% legal???

DaveK, is this public information and fact.

Matt, is this legal if so?

Yes, it is legal for a shareholder to lend money to a company he owns shares in. It is also legal for him to charge a commercial rate of interest on the loan. Be careful what you bandy around on here lads, wouldn't want anyone to get themselves in legal bother.

Directors can also act in this way. In all likelihood, if a director was linked to the lending party then they would normally make it known to the rest of the board and not vote on / sign or commit the receiving company to the loan. Conflicts of interest are not illegal they just need to be registered.

In any event the loan is in all likelihood not from a shareholder but possibly from a connected party.
