It can't happen until he sells his Crystal Palace shares.

What's controversial about that?

The rules say so.

Nothing. But you didn't leave it at that. You said it won't happen. Its a waste of time dealing with him. He doesn't have a buyer for his shares etc. etc. etc. and other unfounded hysterical nonsense. You're all in though at this stage.

Any pics of your Sheriff's badge mate?

@Bungle has a few but he wants 20 quid each
Seemingly it’s a very cute badge

Moshiri was a minority owner at a Premier League club and no one would have questioned him when he came in.

Well "no one" anyone would bloody listen to anyway. There were people pointing out that his business background appeared to be exclusively for organizations many people consider organized crime (because they are associated with rogue "bad actor" nation states with a documented history of criminality).

His association with Usmanov was considered a huge problem by anyone with a functional brain. We were shouted down by people who appear to conflate what they *want* the world to be like with what it's actually like. It was obvious Usmanov was going to get huge pushback from the five eyes and it would hurt his businesses in those nations. As it did. The fact England did a bunch of bad stuff abroad years ago appeared to not factor into things in any way whatsoever, despite it frequently being offered as a response from critics of the so-called "Russo-phobic" Evertonians. "Think England and the US are so innocent?" ... "What does the UK care about US elections anyway?" Indeed. How'd that work out?

Textor doesn't have these red flags. Despite many UK based fans historical objections to "Americans" ... and don't get me wrong, any billionaire is going to be a scumbag on some level ... the average American billionaire is less of a criminal than the average Russian or Iranian billionaire. Americans can become billionaires in different ways -- in Russia or Iran you only get that rich through Putin or the dear leaders. That's just reality. So they are ALL literal criminals. Americans might have just sold a product and sure, illegally broken strikes and unions and done a whole bunch of scummery, but it's not necessarily take a knee for a dictator, do/profit from their dirty work (murder the competition), "defenestration level" with every single one as it is in Russia.

if he was being backed with money by usmanov who’s accounts are all blocked by world leaders he would be the ultimate mastermind however we all know he’s not if anything it’s probably more like bevis or butthead

Usmanovs wealth has increased by around 3.5bn in the last two years.

that doesn’t mean he can spend it though realistically

 

[pfim]

Why would it not go through now?

If he and Moshiri agree, I think only a third party (TFG?) could prevent it in terms of the making an offer. It’s curious there no statement/confirmation that there is an exclusivity agreement in place.

at least someone is thinking logically like i said earlier this isn’t out the equation at all

In about 80% of the globe he can yup.

 

[Alan Whittle]

I’ll meet you after the Palace vs Everton game in the pawson arms
If Palace are in any danger of going down I’ll buy you 6 drinks of your choice

This game had better not be moved to a Monday night now !!

 

[jackyboy]

Has he sold his Palace shares yet nah?

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I swear some of you have never bought a house while trying to sell your old place before.

 

[edge]

Has he sold his Palace shares yet nah?

Doesn't have to can set them aside in a seperate fund for someone else to run, ie he son
as long as he has no influence on the running of Palace, votes ect.
Has to prove there is no link between the two.
Looks like that's what may be happening., gives him time to sell those shares and buy Everton.

 

[Librarian]

Taking the personalities out of it for a minute.

The most important thing for Everton in this next step is securing a decent interest rate so that all of this stadium related debt can be bundled up into one long term, low interest debt.

When it comes to rattling journalists there is nobody quite like the toffees, one of the things I'm most proud of about us.

We are the SAS of pushing buttons

The funny thing was in this instance the Blue in question had only asked him if he'd Belled Richard Masters,Thus the Zeigmeister going nuclear.

It was beautiful to watch.
