John Textor

[pfim]

Fancy explaining it for us a bit?

He announced he was going to buy the outstanding shares of the public company at a premium, without actually doing so. They suspended trading of those shares because that is effectively market manipulation and inflating his the value of his own shareholding in Eagle.

If you give him the benefit of the doubt, he's a stark raving lunatic. If you think that something more nefarious is going on, he was trying to pump the value of his stock to perhaps lend against it or sell it.

 

[pfim]

His comments were so far out of bounds, both Everton and his own company had to put out press releases refuting them.

Blackbeard’s Delight for me.

All day long….it smells slightly better than that time the raccoon got caught in the copier

You can’t take any Everton bidders seriously at this point. Mainly because of Moshiri, but when clowns like John and 777 are the ones inquiring about your club, you may as well tune it out. Too much debt is leveraged against whatever owner will take over. This is a nightmare scenario and now I am even less confident that an owner will take over this year. We just have to survive until then I suppose

Insider trading is a crime.

Imminent. Friday.

Next one not today.

Maybe.

But more likely not. But soon. Unless it collapses of course.

Actually Binman, you're spot on... Now you mention it, when he said he wanted and deal in place and to be progressing by 30th November, he never said what year that was!?

He's taken the Everton fans for fools again....

 

[Blue Tumbleweed]

Al says he’s 50% sure it’s definitely happening

Does that mean he's got a 90% stake in the decision making process then?

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Insider trading is a crime.

Everyone does it these days unfortunately. Think of Martha Stewart as Everton Football Club

 

[OnlyTheBestIsGoodEnough]

Moshiri does know how to pick them doesn't he, a part of me thinks that he no intention of selling this club since every person that has been in a position to take over this club either can't afford to or pulls out of doing so, it's no wonder that I have come to the conclusion that we might be stuck with him for the foreseeable future as painful as that will be

 

[Blue Tumbleweed]

For context, this is a pretty serious thing. It's not normal to suspend trading of shares for two weeks. This guy is a joke.

Yep, pretty much pfim.

If he was hoping to do what he said, he has used alerted the SCC etc to his intentions to 'inflate' (i.e. to buy at premium prices) for shares that he is wishing to use to use as collateral in a 'potential' attempt to buy Everton...

Smart work that, by Capt. Textor! *round of applause all round!*

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I agree mate. Sky Sports and Alan Myers are willing cheerleaders. Not journalists at all. All the stuff with 777 Partners proved that.

If Alan Myers was on the pavement coming towards me I'd cross over the road

I reckon Myers would throw himself under a bus if he saw you coming.

 

[Damo_1878]

I reckon Myers would throw himself under a bus if he saw you coming.

Probably for dramatic effect

 

[Blue Tumbleweed]

So I can assume from that , that we have passed the mulling , pondering and investigating stages of the negotiations

Has he ruminated yet tho Brisan..? Or indeed, has he put his finger in the air, or the real acid test, has he 'smelt it' yet..?

 

[Damo_1878]

Shut up Alan Myers you blert

 

[Victus]

It can still be progressing well. He can be doing two things at once you know.
