Was reported at £1m which isn’t insignificant in that league.
Personally thought 15% sounded a lot, but reading up it seems Stones had a similar sell on that netted Barnsley a further £6-£9m in the end too apparently.
Suprised these figures aren’t capped tbh.

15% sell on fee on any profit on onnana too isn’t there?

Add in the 30m and that is bonkers too… I firmly believe the 15% figure for brathwaite … we are almost as bad at negotiating as we are at scouting
 
If we don’t sell we fail PSR and get 4/5/6 points most likely, some of our fans think we need the 40mil from Branthwaite so we can take it in a couple of bags and drop off at Premeir league HQ before July the 1st

Replacing JB with another cb in our squad and we will lose more than 6 points in a season.

Take the hit and keep him unless our price is met
 

Yeah makes no sense to sell now, in a year or two, if he carries on like last season, he'll be wanted by the likes of City and Madrid and we'll make a lot more than if we sell him now.

Just that mate, a club our size shouldn't sell their best players anyway on principal - if you act like a bottom feeder you will be treated like one. Our position such as it is with players like Branthwaite we need to keep them for 3 years, min two - as starters or we will be in this hole forever.

You need to manage investments correctly to reap the rewards.
 
Or that 'complying with the rules' is a great diversion from the fact that the club took out lots of very costly loans and needs to find more money from somewhere to keep up with the payments. But why admit to making a pigs ear or running things when they can lay the blame squarely at financial rules?

I'm not saying they haven't played a part but the constant bemoaning of them as the source of all problems is ridiculous. And regardless, bigger losses equals bigger deductions and that's not something we can sustain.
100x this.

We are a sucker hooked into a payday loan trap.
 
While I agree that some media sources aren't absolutely on the money the notion that we can believe that people presented as 'close to the club' actually have a clue is a bit of a leap. Who exactly are these people putting their heads above the parapet? Garbage sites like EvertonNews?

And 2 or 3 parties interested in buying means absolutely nothing until they're actually identified and put forward solid proposals. Until then it's all tomorrows fish paper and holds no credence whatsoever. They're are absolutely loads of 'media' outlets presenting opinion as news all over the internet be it positive or negative.


Speculative at best. There are a lot of club owners and former club owners who will tell you from actual experience that they are not a great source of personal wealth if you actually want to win things and play the game rather than look at it as an asset to be stripped or leveraged.
Fair enough but long before 777 came on the scene there were other more interested parties who had proved to the premier league they had a lot more than the 1.1 £Billion needed to show they could run the club, they are still interested now and will be in the running to buy the club after the 31st. May deadline for 777 runs out, so wait and see on that one.

When the stadium is up and running that will be the start of huge firms, hotels and leisure business’s moving into the area from the Pier Head going past Brambley Moor towards Crosby and a wake up to the days when the Dock road was alive all times of the day- - - now it is just coming awake it will boom in-the near future with plenty of money to be made with Everton’s stadium the beginning of the boom.
 
The Scum newspaper put out a crap piece of nonsense Man utd offering 40 mil for an 80 mil plus asset.
It's sad there are some willing to accept it " cos our club's a mess & will fail PSR "

Didn't we do this dance when the press were trying to sell John Stones to Chelski for 20-25 mil.

Nonsense story , give it short shrift.

To be fair we have our own fans going on about Leeds being desperate for cash and thinking we can low ball them.

From the outside people will be thinking the same about us.
