John Textor

[kev]

I reckon he could be a force multiplier. What say you Damo?

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Interview was going so well until he didn’t confirm he would fire Dyche out of a cannon

Absolutely out the front door is Sean.

 

[Damo_1878]

A strange , slightly petulant post this .
He was speaking directly to camera on a major news outlet .
It wasn’t a press release from Myers.
It was literally straight from the horses mouth, as it were .
He explained in detail his plans for the purchase and gave an honest assessment of his chances of success.
As I said earlier I very much doubt he gives such a detailed interview to camera if he wasn’t reasonably confident of closing the deal.
The one caveat I have is ….its Moshiri innit ?
Either way I like him personally and hope he succeeds.
(Despite being another multi club model, but it seems we can’t escape them )

There is literally an article written by Myers on SS website

John Textor exclusive interview: American businessman says succeeding Farhad Moshiri as Everton owner would be like becoming US President

In an exclusive interview with Sky Sports, prospective Everton owner John Textor says succeeding Farhad Moshiri would be akin to becoming President of the United States; Textor is the fifth bidder to enter into an exclusivity agreement to buy Everton

He's not a "force multiplier"

So many fools in this fanbase that never learn

For two minutes? He's not answering for the sake of answering the question. There's purpose and meaning behind responding, even if you don't take what he says at face value.

I know I'm swimming against the current here. As much as I love details of transactions like this, I don't think a public forum is the place to exchange that information. I'd actually prefer to not hear from the chairman, actual or prospective, at all.

I think when someone in that position speaks a lot publicly, he'll eventually paint himself into a corner he can't get out of, and it will end poorly.

Perhaps
But I’d prefer someone who is willing to engage and communicate publicly with the supporters than someone who is remote and unresponsive about their intentions.
Had enough of being giving the mushroom treatment as an Evertonian .

Whilst i think there are some red flags with him, jesus christ we don't half have some fans who moan for moaning sake, and it's impossible for anybody to win.

I think he'd be better than Moshiri, and if we have no one else coming in for us, it'll be a welcome change. Yapper or not.

 

[barneygumble]

I can't help but like him

But I also liked Schneiderlin, Sandro, Bolasie and Usmanov.

But he seems passionate, he seems committed and seems to have a clear, structured vision.

But I'm also aware he's a Billionaire and billionaires don't become billionaires unless they've got some skeletons so let's hope his aren't going to rear their ugly head in 2-3 years time.

I also fear the emphasis he places on "IF" when referring to it going through.

"A great champion in Brazil that hadn't won a title since 1995 is Botafogo. The manner in which they've lost titles between then and now has led to an expression, 'it can only happen to Botafogo"

"Botafogo, that"

Correct am looking forward to not being Gaslighted and Patronised by the clubs ownership.

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it"

Like many in this thread

Which is fair dues if you weren't having a pop at people for falling for Moshiri the snake oil salesman when you, yourself, fell for it.

Who are you calling ‘fool ‘ , fool !?

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

I’m naturally pessimistic, so I have to remember that.
But I had strong strong shyster vibes from his interview.
There are things he’s talking about that no club owner should ever be talking about at any time….and he’s not even in a position to buy us yet.
Spare me the owner that likes the sound of their own voice and doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
I sense a total whopper

 

[turner]

This fella getting control would be like throwing a grenade onto a bonfire.

I'm going to assume you mean it will be awesome.

Who wouldn't want to throw a grenade on a bonfire?

 

[Moomin]

I mean, you fell for Moshiri, tbf. Gonna bust out Dumbledore?

He didn't just fall for him.

He was obsessed by him.

Yet you said Moshiri is..

A lot of our fans are very unrealistic unfortunately. They will find some kind of fault in anyone interested in us.
In this day and age pretty much every owner has some kind of red flag, especially when you are interested in a club as damaged in ours. We are involved in court cases, bleeding money, psr issues and no idea who’s steering the ship, yet we expect someone sane and perfect to want us.
