I'm not getting in to the Other Operating Costs thing, it's been done to death, but either way a takeover is supposed to bring something new, not more of the same.

(apparently the rules for announcing the deal are complex because of the unique way the club has been purchased.
34.7% of the club has been purchased by the consortium directly, 14.7% has been sold to a mystery 3rd party and the remaining shares though not actually owned by the Moores consortium are to be owned by a finance company that have structured the ownership of their shares in a way that they can "loan" these shares to the moores consortium for a "rent". The Moores consortium are paying the rent for this with Half the TV money over a season for every season for 7 years.
The consortium are not planning on massive player investment, its more along the lines of infrastructure with a site in sefton mooted.
Dont shoot the messenger)

What does the rent bit mean?

Please God tell me this isn't true. If it is then i will not be buying anymore season tickets and i will definitely cancel my sky subscription. I don't wish to fund these Yank carpetbaggers

Yes but we should be ok, we have the self proclaimed best man for the job in the search for new owners.I agree, the Kansas City group seemed more promising
Things could get so much worse. Look at Villa... or Fulham for that matter. Remember Fulham? It's "stagnation" when you want to be in the Champions League, but it will have been "stability" when you're fighting relegation (or for promotion).
This can also happen when you're bought by foreign owners:
Now Blue Bill wouldn't let us down would he?

This goes so far over my head it just hit the ISS.
Can't wait for the picture of Bill shaking their hands and Yarmolenko standing in the background holding a huge cardboard cheque.

Have yet to see a single logical explanation for why they would invest in Everton other than a plan to harvest money away.
The whole "keep the club competitive, build a stadium and resell" angle doesn't make any sense and none of the people who keep parotting that angle seem interested in explaining who would want to buy the club a few years from now and why. If they are buying it to sell in a few years for a profit why are the people who buy it from them buying the club and what will they do for their profit? These billionaire business experts have NO interest in buying it now for LESS?!?! IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
If there are no sugar daddies out there now they won't show up because of a stadium ... who doesn't have a stadium now? Stadium just brings us level with everyone else in their eyes. No Rom/Stones/Barkley or Del, five years of mid table finishes and a new stadium? Who the hell would want to buy us for 600m then?!?!?! It's lunacy. This is bad. VERY, VERY BAD. Burning effigies bad. I know we don't do that cuz we are Everton and we will let the 1% rape our club because we don't want to be seen as full kit meffs or something but open your eyes ... they are here to strip us. They'll keep us in the Prem (until they don't because they don't care) but that's the extent of their "on the pitch" ambitions.
You can give it the "how do you know their motives" angle all you want. NO OTHER MOTIVE MAKES SENSE! I guess unless they suddenly reveal they are HUGE football fans and this is their retirement hobby. Short of that they are here for the money and nothing else.
Saying "moneyball" to many English footie fans is like saying "government" to a tea party member: neither of them can accurately explain what it is they are upset about but boy are they furious for some reason.
Supposed to?!?!?! I hate to break it to people but someone super rich coming in and taking all the money/assets is precisely how a lot of takeovers work. And it won't be more of the same ... these guys will invest LESS than BK and co. They have the interest rates on the loans they took out to buy the club to service. So this will be worse. Way worse.
I'll be furious if this is all true. Thankfully it's all smoke now ... but there is more and more (and moore ... ugh) smoke.
