Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

Chippys dont give receipts Friend.

But thought you were on a contract?

It was a response to post #1922 asking if the takeover was ever going to happen. IF you clicked on the link to the dailymail the person ends the bit with "NOT TODAY" which was meme worthy.

Sounds tenous but full marks for coming up with a plausible explanation.
Carry on...

Sorry, shipping manifest.

Baffled how it takes 4 weeks to look over somebodys books, yes im aware we are a massive "business" with lots of Ins and Outs, but surely a trained accountant could add up the 2 + 2 and get 6 within 24hours.

Looking at the accounts for overstatements of profit or assets is the easy bit tbh.
Projections of the future revenues in a situation where the majority of income is fixed isn't that difficult, the main differences being a model with or without a new stadium, and if with, when.
If the club is to clear AIB debt, pretty sure this will require negotiation unless there is a release clause specifying penalty clauses.

Difficult bit is getting the parties to agree a price.

Personally, I think it will be the back end of the period of exclusivity ie about a week or two before anything is leaked - but I hope not as the fume is starting to impact on the GOT community's collective emotional stability.

And then there are other offers the Club needs to consider afterwards.

at least the team won't get relocated...

All the yank fans should throw in $5 and buy powerball tickets then buy Everton when they win the billion four

First time I've actually considered buying a lottery ticket with this jackpot (laughed at myself a millisecond later but I actually thought about it).

knowing our luck a kopite would win...Everton that. Also I believe the lump cash value is a little above $800m US so about 550m pounds (may be slightly off). Based on what the Esk is saying this new lottery consortium may not be the best option for the club as after buying off the shareholders and putting some money towards a stadium there'd be little capital left in the ownership group to invest in the club further. Although they could build the stadium than sell

This has gone awfully quiet.

I was actually joking with a friend about how I might buy a powerball ticket just so I can crazily dream about investing in Everton. Glad to see I'm not only the American Evertonian entertaining the absurd concept.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Let's not assume too much

Currently projections are $1.5b annuity or $925m lump sum (~$550m post tax)

Crossed my mind as well. I'd just pay for a new stadium and demand naming rights. The name would be something classy, like America Mega Soccer Park.
