The fact that we can even have these discussions is evidence of the complete 180 in the general mood in the last twenty four hours. I'm not totally sold on the truth of the rumors of the 100 million transfer budget, but the fact that the figure isn't even totally out of the question anymore..

I have had a smile glued to my face all day. In a blink, everything has changed. Cannot wait to hear more about this mans plans for the club.

Nil satis nisi optimum

The main thing is that with this investor it means that any funds from a big sale will all go back into the squad - not just a percentage as in the past.

Even before this news, we wouldn't (financially) have had to sell any of our big players due to the TV money. This has just exaggerated that.

I think players like Rom, Stones, Barks etc will see that now and will be committed. The reason I believe Stones is the most likely to go is because if it was City who came into him, it would be hard to turn the lad down when he had an opportunity to work under the world's best manager by far.

We'll see.

For me the main thing is long term squad investment, not just this Summer to appease everyone. That is what will keep our young guns excited to stay and attract talent every season for a sustained period of competing for top 4.

All good points there Deco...bar the last ....should have been our cup.

I know mate. But if we can't have it then the RS definitely can't! lol

This myth that there are irregularities is mind numbing.
Stuff may have gone on you don't agree with. But nothing illegal.

Let it go

Been saying it for ages, theres a difference between incompetence and criminal activity

We still won't spend over 25 million NET in the summer.

Chris Bascombe in the Torygraph, sorry Telegraph stating that Moshiri will fund a new stadium project.

The lads on ToffeeTv being cryptic about the other Arsenal fella, Usmanov, getting involved.

Exciting.

There's no requirement for them to be involved. The transaction is a transfer of shares between two parties in a private company. It's no different from me selling you 5 shares in Everton.

What I am saying is if Moshiri has 49.9% and Earl gave up 24% or just under, Kenwright and Woods lost 25/26% of their 45%. Which points to £87.5m having been paid being an exaggerated figure?

They'll just be dreaming like everyone else. They don't know.

I have noticed that the official Everton Twitter account follows the Daily Mail so it will be interesting if we get any stories from the Daily Mail in the next week or so.

 

[The Mighty Quint]

As a qualified accountant (ex Deloitte's), is he duty bound to report any financial irregularities he may notice in past records ?

"An oversight on my part, I think we'll go with the Yanks after all..."

 

[billytoffee]

Good job my boss is away tomorrow because I'll probably spend all day arsing around on GOT and elsewhere online waiting for any more info.

We'll have to wait for the details but clearly if you buy 49.9% of something valued at £175 million it will cost you £87.5 million?

They've been sound in the past, not always 100% bob on but inclined to listen to them.

Still exciting even if he's not involved.

 

[Hong Kong Phooey]

Stones never wanted to REALLY leave.

He might do now for first team football
