John Textor

[davek]

Seems to be a fantastic prospect, but I just have no idea how this gets done. Surely the PL would have issues with him still owning Palace AND negotiating with us at the same time? How can that be allowed if we're being objective.

That must have been resolved to the PL's satisfaction: some vehicle set up to get round it or time condition imposed on Textor.

I dont see this feller as a time waster...I mean, who knows if he is, but he doesn't come across that way.

 

[davek]

They apparently have people wanting to buy his shares and Parish wants to help get rid of him

...there you go...

Brighton are going to get battered on Saturday...

One solution would maybe be for Textor to park his shares with Parish etc even as an interim measure, then they sell them off in due course. All parties to the two transactions would have OADT approval already so could actually move quite quickly.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I have absolutely no idea if this is the one that is successful, but eventually it's got to happen at some point.

Why not this time

 

[Thomasc]

He knows the reasons TFG pulled out.

He knows he has to sell his stake in Palace.

Doubt he’d go this far if he wasn’t serious. He’s surely not going to waste his time for the hell of it?

"The year is 2053, and Everton have entered into their 47th period of exclusivity as Moshiri continues to try to sell the League 2 club"

 

[Nymzee]

Still would prefer Friekdin to come back in.

The key issue though has always been the valuation of those shares. I can't see Textor being the kind of fella to sell them for any less than what he believes they're worth..

It's the fact that he's obviously going to be low balled by Palace for his shares, as everyone knows he needs to get rid. The only way this makes any sense is if like you say they've the PL told Parish or whoever is paying AND Moshiri is giving him an unreal deal to buy the club, otherwise him rushing like this makes absolutely no sense.

No idea mate. But if he's in for Everton I dont think it's a punt into the unknown or hit and hope for him.

Who knows. This feller didn't even exist for us 2/3 months ago, but I'm very encouraged I must say...

 

[kenada_blue]

The Esk will double down

 

[Evertonthat]

He already owned 45% of Palace, so I guess he's already passed the premier league's "fit and proper owners test"? If his Palace sale goes though, could this all be sorted faily quickly...?

Naaaaa

 

[Zatara]

Have some concern about him to be honest.

When you look under the hood, the question is where is the money coming from?

Think he might be a more upfront 777.

Check out his business career.

 

[Neiler]

777 were conmen, really Textor / Eagle are nothing of the sort. Some serious people at exec / board level. One example - Jamie Dinan is on the board and has a reported wealth of 2.1B

Do they invest money into the group?

Question always is - where is the money coming from.

Heard a whisper they are going to float Eagle Football Group on the stock exchange and the attraction of Everton for them is exposure to the PL as value and legitimacy.
