Player Valuation: £80m
Bell and Downing are not interested any more. They were backed by financing by Dell etc. But that is all done now. They're not interested in acquiring the club. Look at the mess that Moshiri has made.
As for TFG, they would have been ideal. They have liquidity and money. But the mess that Moshiri has made with 777 Partners has sent then off.
Textor, there are issues with his lack of liquidity. He may have several billion dollars worth of assets (at last valuation) but that does not mean he is cash rich with liquidity. Indeed many of those assets are cross leveraged against each other. So for example the Crystal Palace shares used to secure the Lyon financing
Now. I speak to Esk a lot. I haven't yet over Textor as I've been doing various things today. However, I understand he's going to publish in detail what his views are re: Textor
I suspect Esk is concerned that Everton are going to get lumbered by a huge amount of debt and that means me, you and fans are going to be paying for it
TFG would have been ideal IMHO especially if they sold Roma.
At the moment, Moshiri (and Kenwright) have made a complete mess of our club. The 777 Partners debacle continues to costs us huge amounts of money.
As @GrandOldTeam said earlier I think there is lots of "blagging" going on. Our fanbase is one of the most played and manipulated in world football. Sadly too many people, you see it on here and on twitter react emotionally to absolutely everything. They judge everything like that. Instead of standing back and thinking "what is in our best interests?"
What do you think was in our best interests?
