John Textor

He had two bidders in the hook the last I heard that was three weeks ago also heard of the IPO then, but the plan included Everton in it.

My son has said there are 4/5 interested parties
Even the current owners have made an offer of his original investment back
Textor however believes the club is more valuable now and is looking for higher bids

I have wondered about the Saudi Super league. Essentially finding 10/12 teams like a super league.

But like LIV golf
Buy 10/12 top clubs City , PSG etc and shift them all to a super league

well this is a quite frightening turn. feasibly if it is so easy a certain orange former us president could own Everton by morning?

I don’t think a convicted criminal can own a Premier league football club
He could become President of the United States of America and control all the power that comes with it but he can’t buy Everton

If they go then a rather large percentage of the TV money goes with them
That’s why they wanted to leave
They are still fuming that they got caught with their pants around their ankles when it was announced before they were ready
Hence the outpouring if grief and apologies from the owners

An English top flight will always have its takers.

Wasn't convicted here, and still seems to own that patch of Scotland that had previous domiciles upon off for his golf club. the rule of the uk seems third fiddle to that of us. I'm just surprised he's not taken a shot at the aristocracy, he's as much taste and wit.

Not denying that Dave but even you have to admit it would be a vastly lower rate than is currently on offer , both from domestic and international media companies

Was he not convicted in the cover up payments to the porn star
I thought he was convicted but not sentenced yet

Had it kicked down the gutter by his appointees to whichever court he could stack there? justice in the us is determined by money only, it's a very poor example for the uk to follow but it has. A pox on all that have meddled to have the system this malign.

Need to take a leaf out of the Welsh attitudes to outsider owned holiday homes.

At first, for sure.

The spectacle would be the quality of the football again, and not the circus that surrounds the day to day exploits of a 5 or so huge media hubs masquerading as sporting organisations.

Guilty: Trump becomes first former US president convicted of felony crimes

The verdict is a stunning legal reckoning for Trump and exposes him to potential prison time.

Don’t think it matters where he was convicted
A conviction is a conviction
