Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[orly]

Politely disagree.
Short term gain = long term gain in football .

New fans. New investment. New sponsorship. Trophies. Trickle effect.

But it doesn't happen.

We'd have a very, very short period of investment and then the money would disappear.

New fans? From where? The pinnacle of foreign investment in this country, City, can't sell out their Champions League games and didn't sell out vs Leicester.

New Investment? From where? China? Forget it.

Trophies? Only team in China to have heavily invested in a long term process and been successful outside of their hilariously corrupt league is Guangzhou in the Asian Champs League. I don't think we'd have enough sustained investment to make it happen.

Perhaps we'll end up with all sorts of fun caveats

Let's not pretend the FA will look after us after Wimbledon / MK Dons and Cardiff playing in red.

I wouldn't call fabricated and unsustainable GDP growth "smoke and mirrors," but maybe these Chinese could look for an empty stadium somewhere and transport it to L4 to save on the cost of rebuilding Goodison.

Downward curve - and those are the massaged figures

Been wanting this to happen for years and now it's actually happening ... I'm petrified

I just keep thinking of that shower and what's happened with there previous take overs/owners etc.

Please can something just go right for Everton ... just once

Based on previous experience you always expect something like this to be a disaster when Everton are involved - but surely somebody competent has assessed the proposed business plan??

The competent ones are still in negotiations with Lord Lucan

Using my 5 stage process, I'd say they are somewhere at the end of stage 3, with exchange and completion the remaining stages.

However a higher bid from another party may change that.

So if another party came in with a higher bid, does everything start from scratch again, due diligence etc.

Robert Elstone currently loading his motor up with all the stationery he can nick, and anything else he can use in his next job.

I've heard he's filled his whole boot with sachets of demerara sugar.

Just hope the major shareholders obtain a massive mark up on their shares. They're businessmen and their needs must come first.

If it happens , it happens........

It's finally happening!

The amount of cash the Chinese seem to be chucking about kind of makes me think we should jib the yanks off and go with them

The yanks dont seem to have a good track record,when it comes to running football clubs.
