Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[neil999]

have been doing some digging on st diego and found this interesting snippet -

The "Swinging Friar" is currently the mascot of the team. Some in the past have confused The Famous Chicken as the mascot of the Padres. Although he does make appearances occasionally at San Diego sporting events, he has never been the official mascot of any San Diego sports team.

Leveraged buy out would be bad news indeed. We don't have the turnover to support that level of debt service.

If BK actually sells it to someone who is taking over Everton in LBO, it's final confirmation he's a liar and a fraud.

He seems to have been involved a lot in Democrat politics.

Guys, Kenwright's got this! He wouldn't sell us to anyone who finally decided to pay for the club what all his cronie....emmm, other shareholders believe the price to be!

Funny git though.

They qualified for the play-offs once or twice I believe. Everton's 'achievements' under Kenwright eclipse these 'achievements'. We finished 4th, played in champions league qualifiers, reached cup finals under Kenwright. The Padres achievements are similar to Tranmere's achievements in the early 90's... qualifying for a few play-off competitions.

This is rubbish. Tranmere are the equivalent of a triple-A baseball team. The Padres are closer to the likes of Norwich or Palace.

Is that better / worse / just as bad as

If we do get sold it's the single best chance we have to hold onto our top players, Lukaku and Stones are out of here in the summer otherwise.

And if new owners look at how Martinez has performed the last 2 seasons he might be out the door too.

That is a blight on the history of this club.

Yeah mate, because Tranmere would sell for $800m if they were on the market tomorrow.

I can see the obvious comparison there like

If not Tranmere, then try Bolton (who used to be Tranmere's rivals). A small, insignificant club that has achieved next to nothing, who also have a new stadium.

Imagine Bolton in a league without relegation and you have the Padres.

Mental isn't it. Who on earth thought having a Conservative Chancellor invited to the club was a good idea.

Fair enough. Like I've just said, they're like Bolton in a league without relegation.
