Park End to be renamed the Persian Stand I'm hearing now..

I've heard there is going to be a rug section in the Everton one shop.

A block of shares has changed hands. Hopefully it means investemnt in the squad and a stadium deal. Let's see what this feller has to say for himself in full. If he now clams up, fails to address the supporters with a major series of interviews and makes himself scarce, it's not going to be a major development - just him parking his cash elsewhere.

But that's what gives me some hope...if he wanted to park cash, he'd leave it in Arsenal.

He's parted with near £200million. In order to see anything back, he's got to improve what his money has bought.

And the guy is a bean-counter. He'd have a good idea on whether this is a wise investment or not.

Have put some immediate thoughts up on the front page:

But who's shares has he bought??

Most likely Earl and Kenwrights which add up to the amount and Wood retaining all his although in theory it could be more complicated allocation from all three


Tbh just wanted to post a pie chart really, a key part of GOT's best threads that had so far been lacking...

I said earlier today we would have evolution not revolution, that's exactly what we've got.

Yes, and that's what we as a club always do - we evolve, not er, revolve.

 

[royalblue66]

Will he keep Hibbo. ?

 

[COYB]

I haven't got a clue with this stuff like but
if he bought 49.9% its not just Kenwright and him with shares??
and Kenwright has not got 51.1% ?
so why isn't he chairman, probably the most stupid post on here
ffs I am stupid anyway like someone enlighten me please

A relegation might be good for the club in the long term.

[hibbo'sclass]

Loads of occurrences of a 49.9% purchase of shares in a company. It's effectively a controlling interest and happens when a new investor wants all-but a controlling share in the business, but doesn't want to pass the threshold due to the problems inherent in doing so. Perhaps certain people didn't want to sell, or those who did still wanted to retain a stake, and so on.

You're right to be cautious, but that's a significant investment and an intent to invest long term. What is also encouraging is that this guy has sold up at Arsenal because he wants his money to mean something on the pitch, which wasn't happening in London.

Private Limited Company so no reason whatsoever to stop at 49.9 %. That's the bit that's weird. 50.1 % means you can pass whatever ordinary resolution you wish and have effective control, so why stop short of that?

Unless PL rules make it more difficult to own a majority perhaps.

How are we gonna Everton this one up?

 

[Eggs]

...chuffed but I suppose the questions raised by @The Esk still apply. More specifically, are the monies for the purchase of the shares and infrastructure improvements built on a funding stream from club income. Not sure we know this detail.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

i reckon that his business partner will actually be the main man in a few years (for us) no evidence on it like, just feel like usmenov will be our co owner with moshiri..
