Everton takeover rumours

[BoysInBlue]

Looks like just a rehash of everything that's been Tweeted.

City of London financial sources is a new bit and EFC not yet dismissing it out of hand like they normally do with all these rumours.

225 million! What did Kenwright buy the club for?

That's not really relevant to the current value.

New owner
Loads of money
Shiny new stadium
Cancels the pathetic brand-killing Kitbag deal



*wakes up*

I'm so confident this is happening I've just ordered my Kansas Soccerballists jersey..

*still a 28 day returns policy in 'Murica yeah??

 

[Furey1878]

Can't help but feel we've been here before. Aren't the club due to make a statement on the future of the Walton Hall Park plans soon?

Hopefully the takeover story is related, rather than a deflection.

Please be true.

Oh FFS now that it's on the BBC I can't dismiss this as 100% bull and so I will inevitably get a bit excited like the naive child that I am.

£225m is probably right when you consider the value of our current playing squad plus the new TV deals

Correct. Stops someone paying say 100 mil and then selling the best players and taking the sky money at the end of the season. They would walk away with over 100 mil profit which is why 225 mil is a fair price.

An asking price of £225m seems a bit high.

....that's why they might have started the rumour. More specifically, if there is any truth in this there might be a significant delta between the asking price and what they are prepared to pay. They are probably reading this thread now to gauge interest and see if fans might pressurise the Board.

@the esk will manage expectation and give us an idea if this has legs.

 

[MartSlinger]

Barkley £40m+, Lukaku £40m+ & Stones £40m are assets of Everton. Add in HUGE TV Money and theres ya £225m valuation.

 

[The Esk]

Dont think they get anything in terms of an annual payout though esk would know.

But what they're gonna get out of it is a ridiculously good return on there shares despite not putting a penny into the club

Correct, none of the directors have received any payment from the club for their services.

Elstone who is a Board member but not a director receives an annual salary.

Ha 225 mill, nice try Bill. How much did Liverpool go for?

TBH lately BK has been missing rumours of ill health, our Chairman is getting older maybe he has put feelers out to sell finally who knows, but as much as he has hung on to our club, and now maybe looking to sell for the right owner!

 

[GwladysBlue]

Does anyone remember when the BBC last said we were getting taken over and that Bill Kenwright was in Dubai going over the details? It was about 2008, then Everton dismissed it 10 minutes later.

Stop getting my hopes up mate!

I never usually believe these stories but this one seems different somehow. I can't see anyone buying it for £225m though
