Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[jinkyali]

I respect Kenwright but Im 100% ok with this if it goes ahead. End to the stagnation.

Its what we all want mate. End to the stagnation.

On BK, I think its fairly obvious he got into bed (probably naively all those years ago..thought he was doing the best at the time etc) with slippery eels and seemingly cant get out of it. Without a massive return on investment. Which this will give.

Rough figures here but...

We are likely to enjoy over £1.5 billion in revenue over the next 10 years from TV alone. The foreign tv deal is being negotiated; talk is this could get to 7.5-10 billion (this on top of the SKY/BT deal which I think is approx £6bn).

I think two/three hundered million (for stadium) could be secured rather comfortably, maybe backed up by better capital arrangements seemingly in place with a wealthier board.

As far as we go as an investment opportunity, the only way is up. We're probably the most attractive option in the Prem right now that hasn't already been snapped up.

Just imagine spending £30m-£40m on players per summer without having to sell, huge improvement on what we've been used to for the past however long...

Sadly its taken somebodys bad health to prompt such action.

Seemingly very true, well pointed out.

Will the yanks bring cheerleaders and Budweiser?

Yep.

I also think the WHP/LCC situation is bringing it home to the owners that there's just no forward movement anymore to be had. In the past they at least had the possibility of getting another scheme together so they could sell up on the back of it. No one trusts this lot though. They've burned every bridge they've had with the local authorities and they're obviously seeing that and the chance to get out with a big drink from it all on the strength of the new tv deal adding loads to revenue.

I'd be glad to see the back of them. They've been a disaster. Although I still wouldn't trust this lot linked with a takeover.

I wouldn't trust this board with a pair of scissors, never mind an investment or takeover committee.

Maybe they think the club's a snip at 200 million ?

It'll be our own version. 20 stone skanks from Crocky and Special Brew.

They're not bothered as long as they get their cut

It will be when they can sell it for nearer 400/500 10 years later.

Plus, they know they can get there money back easily if it goes up the swanny.

Provided we stay in the Premier League.

Is it Andy Murray?

The other members of the consurtium lol

 

[AaronTheBlue]

What if they are in it for the legacy and bot for the short term.

Hard to know until it happens

 

[mlyons]

how would any American sports fan feel about true blue holdings buying their club?

Wouldn't really care, to be honest. I don't understand why anyone would care more about the nationality of owners than their general competence.

Well for starters moores got the padres to what is basically a 2nd place finish and a new stadium. More than Everton done since true blue holdings has owned us

 

[helpimonfire]
