John Textor

That's a bedsit, isn't it?

 

[pfim]

I took it differently, I took that comment as saying can Dyche manage a different type of player than O'Brien.

To me, it would be preferable to not mention the players and managers of another club. It’s a bit crass

He's a wealthy man but estimates are he's a few hundred million short of $1 billion. He needs others if he wants to take on Everton

Still waiting mate

What was it you wanted him to say ?

"I'm not a billionaire" would have been accurate

 

[jazzy]

So , the Guardian and Professor Wilson who both refer to Textor as a billionaire are wrong and Damo and the pfm guy are right.

"I'm not a billionaire" would have been accurate

Except he is

 

[blulouie]

"I'm not a billionaire" would have been accurate

Or
" I'm having trouble selling my Palace shares "

Your like a fish up a tree mate.

Honestly. Its like a cliché at this point how some Evertonians just want to believe what they want to believe

 

[Frenk]

Don’t worry, there are plenty of other billionaires not listed, for example Putin and Khamenei.

So Damo knows more than google, hmmm silly us.

And he has already verified he has two other people to come in with him .
So his personal wealth is not an issue here , it is slightly irrelevant.
As long as he can raise the money to purchase the club and invest in its improvement via the consortium or group he has formed that is all we need.
It is more important that he is capable of providing the club with leadership , direction and renewed sense of purpose.
Having listened to him over the months I am hopeful he can provide that .
There are caveats ( the situation at Lyon for instance), but overall I am hopeful he can succeed in gaining ownership, and optimistic of our future if he does .

I'd rather believe the Guardian and a professor than you , yes.

And by the way , unlike you , I haven't got a scooby how rich or otherwise this guy is or whether he would be a good or bad owner.

For someone who allegedly works " in the legal profession" you seem unusually dogmatic and unwilling to consider an alternative view .

What is it that you do - a receptionist?

People were literally quoting Forbes at us for him being a billionaire

Literally word for word. Looking at you @blulouie

He's not on there though

 

[blulouie]

So Damo knows more than google, hmmm silly us.

"Can't sell his shares"
"Textor will never own us"
"I believe in Esk"
"I'm an expert in legal stuff:

The rest of you are wrong.

not on Forbes though is he?

But a trusty site as Google quotes Forbes ?

Very strange

On the Microsoft page too.
