Do you not think we would stay at Goodison if that was the case mate ?

Would he have a purpose built football stadium sitting idly on the seafront ?

If/ when he sells it will be the whole lot.

There is obviously a journey to go before we get anywhere where that’s an issue and if he sells tomorrow then that’s probably the Case . If this entire car crash drags on like Sunderland or others he could sell to an actual carpet bagger or profiteer and someone who sees the opportunity to break us up piecemeal in the future after keeping the ground and tying us up to some lease .

From incredible opportunity to a worry it could be an albatross , I certainly hope it’s not an issue and isn’t in our future but it’s the horrific situation this board has made us worry about .

Don't have that fear at all mate.

Apart from throwing some cash at the team the only thing this fella has been interested is the stadium.
It is the ONLY selling point he has.

It’s not necessarily just him I’m worried about mate it’s who and what comes next , if we’re relegated and then after that .

Relegation is a disaster for this club , we lost £100m without losing the 50m plus we lose for going down. We’d have to sell anyone half decent and be left paying poor players on stupid money so having to loan some of them even to free up pennies . We’d absolutely breach profit and sustainability rules so if we’re not promoted immediately we are absolutely ruined with points deductions

If you look at derby that’s what happened to them having to sell the ground to the owner and lease it back to try and get around it , leading to administration and more deductions with kids and free transfers playing .

I certainly don’t know the future but relegation hold nothing but absolute terror for me .

Does not seem to be that unhappy about us potentially going down. Very difficult to understand his motivations

Mass fire sale when we go down (we probably have £100m+ in players we could sell), clear the high wages not renewing big contracts, get the club in better shape financially and ffp wise to be a potential good investment when the stadium is complete.

Probably the only way he can get as much money back on what he's recklessly chucked into the club, our only hope is he sells to someone competent.

Or he could sell the stadium.
Who locally would like a spanking new state of the art stadium?

Tranmere Rovers?

If you are thinking about the neighbours, why would they spend £760m on a stadium when theirs is fit for purpose. It makes no sense, football club owners don’t throw that much money at something they don’t need.

Moot point realty, it’s being built and we will move to it. Hopefully while we are still in the premiership. We might have to rent it but there’s no way a deal wouldn’t be worked out.

Mate relegation will not give us The opportunity to restructure it will cripple us . We’ll lose our assets , few as they are , for significantly less than they’re worth .

Wages for the players on the periphery are more than many championship players we won’t be able to get rid of them , we’re not sustainable in the premier league losing £100m a year never mind adding another guaranteed £50 m to that .

We’ll see redundancies across the non playing staff and we will have to go all in for immediate promotion, trying to get players whose role is specifically to get us out of the division . if we can manage That we could get away with it . If we don’t we are absolutely in so much trouble the following year that it should scare all of us .

Who's gonna buy us for >750m when we are in the championship though?
 

My fear when he joined and spent massive loads of money on crap players and started sacking managers was that he was the next Randy Lerner and sadly it is proving correct.

At Villa he spent big, achieved nothing, turned off the taps and watched as they spent got relegated. Sadly the same has happened at Everton.
 
Missing Billionaire. Last seen on a yacht in Monaco on a zoom call to Jim White telling him how fantastic his board and manager are doing in their fight against the Goodison headlocking gang.

haha crikey, was just a thought... certainly not what I want.

I've no idea why he's doing what he's doing, probably a continuation of mass incompetence.

If it's not incompetence, why continue with a board who are out of their depth, a manager with a shocking record and not adding to a struggling team in the window?

Selling our only sellable players and the high wages out of contract would reduce the wage bill by ~£50m and can also bring in £100m+ in sales while still having a fairly solid Championship side

What's right with the club at the moment, where is any logic?

No idea, but there could be someone crazy enough to see that with a correctly run club they could double their investment.
 
Moshiri gets the Stadium Finished and the first (any?) offer he can live with - He's Gone !

Moshiri...right now or tomorrow...gets any offer he can live with and he won't care if the stadium's half finished or not, won't give a toss about getting guarantees or ring fenced stadium money - He's Gone !

He's EFCs Elvis and he's left the (Liver) building...and the country.

and Kenwright is his designated survivor.
