John Textor

No imagination, you. Football isn't sport, it's entertainment. We're not fans, we're consumers.

You have to embrace the chaos and what better way than Mosh rocking up at Selhurst?

I’ll give it some thought.

…have you changed your view on Textor, or where you as sceptical when he was first interested?

View attachment 269044

Ive kinda changed my view to be honest.

I didnt like the way he opened his trap last time knowing he cant buy us and its the same now, he cant buy us while he has Palace shares.

Im sure he has a plan to dispose of his Palace shares, so if he does offload them, then I will probably feel differently.

Its a concern what hes doing at Lyon tho, hes acting full Moshiri and you never go full Moshiri.

If he gets it over the line and comes in, colour me sceptical for now.

Owned.

Imagine being able to change a view based on the information you have available.

That would NEVER be you.

Tough to hitch my wagon to either side when 1s got the Esk and the others got Dave

TBH, I'm not 100% on Textor for the reasons outlined by others in terms of the source of his cash. The Esk has questions concerning his record in buying assets by borrowing money. The Esk sees it as smoke and mirrors and part of Moshiri's continued control over the narrative. But this feller isn't fictitious, he has control of other clubs and has invested via Eagle Football over a billion to get controlling or substantial shareholding in his stable of clubs.

Regardless of source, we cant dismiss his ability to secure clubs. I dont think this is a bogus bid. And while Everton is the biggest challenge for him yet, I can see him securing us.

There is no incentive for Parish and Co to lowball Textor as they own a whole bunch of the same shaers which would also be devalued.

That would be true if the shares were publicly available but they aren’t. They are currently offering to buy Textor’s shares for what he paid for them but Textor ( not unreasonably) is looking for an uplift as the club is worth more now than then. He claims this is partly due to him which is not universally agreed by either the board or the fanbase.

Is he just another in a long line of people who are going to loan us money and then walk away?

 

[davek]

I thought you were opposed to the multi club model Dave ? as you believed it would dilute the Everton brand

Dealt with that above. I dont like it, but this scenario at least makes us the the flagship club. My main objection to going in with Freidkin was that it made us the junior partner to Roma.

I agree, @Goat reported

Textor financed the take over of palace (or part of it at least) using high interest rate loans. I remain skeptical right now.

Not looking forward to anti-Yank nationalism if it goes through and then goes tits up...I haven't had 30 years of pain to now go through that shiz too.

So far in 2024, we’ve entered more periods of exclusivity than we’ve won away games (probably).

 

[Goat]

Thats potentially the worst transfer window in the history of football.

 

[cpfc1905]

Most of us are hoping to get rid of him ASAP, you know...

We all love a sulky rough diamond, don't we? Nothing better than huffing on the "we can change him" hopium
