Everton takeover rumours

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

Change at the club is close imo. Ignoring the rumours about Bills current state of health, he's not getting any younger and has had health issues recently, so I'm sure both he and his family will have been considering their position of late.

My personal view is that the 'cleaning up' of the club's financial records could well denote that due diligence is either close or currently taking place.

The cleaning up for me is a big thing, usually we leave it quite late and stagger what we repay over the year, but alot of cleaning up has happened very quickly and i think that means books are being looked at for due dilligence and to neaten it all up.

Right now we're as profitable as we've ever been which is very good for investors, and obviously there could be a real urgency to get a deal wrapped up soon.

We'll just have to see what happens.

Bill Kenwright's health is no ones business but his own.

I just judge him on his impact on Everton, which is lamentable. He should leave asap.

 

[SerenityNigh]

we are crap enough at corners as it is

Damn, didn't think about that. Back to the drawing board.

Where are all these rumours coming from?

I have strong views about Kenwright's tenure as chairman but the man's a human being and I only wish him well in regards to his health.

My twitter timeline if filled tonight with horrible speculation..

Fingers crossed it's just that, inaccurate speculation.

 

[swk9]

heard a few things tonight about Bills health, nothing confirmed but it does't sound good for him and his family.

 

[Noble Savage]

I agree , I hope it is just horrible gossip . I have always questioned his ability , never his heart , loyalty or his good intentions . A great bloke and a top Everton fan .

You also have to wonder why he's yet to utter a word about the passing of The greatest Everton manager of all time.

Not like him at all.

We need owners that are willing and able to commit to a new/improved stadium and improve our commercial performance. This is what we're missing at the moment, since we're currently existing almost hand to mouth, depending on the TV money that comes into the league. Any owner that can do that will be an improvement on what we have now.

How are we existing hand to mouth? The only thing we really, really struggle with is the ground. Yes, we don't buy too many £15M-£20M players, but so don't a lot of clubs, and some who do seem to be totally confused and have ended up being a 'buy to loan' outfit....The [Poor language removed] and Chelsea certainly fit that category. We bought Lukaku and spent decent money on McCarthy. We also have England's two brightest stars in Barkley and Stones on long term contracts whilst our better players like Coleman, Baines and Mirallas signed new deals. We're as equally far from being the paupers of the Prem as we are from being the aristocrats.
Yes, our financial position etc could be better, but like The [Poor language removed], Spurs and others spending big doesn't really guarantee anything....ask Brendan Rodgers and Harry Redknapp, both of who spent shed loads of cash and both of whom have a lot of golfing time on their hands.

I suspect we'll find out why very soon and it won't be for a good reason.

I'd usually just assume these rumours were made up, but that has made me believe them a bit.
Unless it actually happened the other way round, with someone thinking 'no comment from Bill, strange, he must be dying' and some idiots just ran with it on Twitter?

How people can stand outside the hen house telling the people inside how to suck eggs is always a mystery to me.

Where in your synapses does it tell you you'd make you an expert on how to run a football club? So what you doing wasting all your time on the internet when you could actually be winning the Champions League as Chairman?

@davek "I just judge him on his impact on Everton, which is lamentable. He should leave asap."

Lets break this statement down from our man here. What would be Kewnright's 'impact'? Honest question. Solid Footing? A steady guiding hand at a time it was all going pear shaped? Or a complete disaster when we got relegated? Where are we now as of 2015? With one of the most exciting, youngest squads we've ever had? Poised on the cusp of either flogging them off for bank or winning stuff? Davek you'd be a great Fox News Anchor. I'm glad we're always in Terror Alert Level Indigo in your mind.

And now he's not very well, leading to "Oh I don't have anything but respect for the man and the only agenda I'd like to keep pushing is for the sake of the Club." Of course this will fit very nicely into a conspiracy.

Oh the failed moves! Oh The 'lack' of investment! The Marketing! Oh the Marketing! The Stadium! Oh the Stadium! Woah betide us!

News Flash. History will tell you Kenwright did a good, solid job during his time in the seat, long after we're all in the ground. All the disgruntled against him are fueled by rumour and fuzzy memories of apparent better times at best and the constant Tall Poppy Syndrome has always made for a poisonously one sided debate. You see the top 4 all eating cake and you want some too. We all do, but sometimes patience is all it takes.

Especially if you're an Evertonian.

I don't think there's much point in even speculating mate. If he's ill, and wants some privacy, then we should respect that.

Mate sent me these rekns some big bills have been paid off recently? They mean nothing to me
