Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[PhilEFC]

I think theres a few people who are having a sniff, currently tho, these yanks are in the box seat.

Good, I hope so mate. The more choice the board have, hopefully they can sort the best deal for us and not their own pockets.

Not sure they are. They are just the first to break cover. If indeed they actually have.

Everton are normally quite slow to shoot down anything that gains as much press as this, but I would have thought they would have done it by now.

It's on...

So who have we be linked with so far? The Americans, someone from Thailand, and now a Jordanian.

The latter two seem much preferable to the Americans based on past experience.

Chang bloke was mentioned recently. Plus anyone who has kept their head down.

Who knows?

Why are people happier about that Jordanian than the Americans? Just because he's closer to everyone's dream of a Sheikh? He arguably hasn't done any more for the team he owns the majority of (1860 Munich) than the Americans have for the Padres.

He owns 60% of the German team, I think, and isn't allowed to own any more(Grtman FA rules?) This is why he has limited his investment, and would prefer to own a Prem club. I think it says that in the article?

I don't think the nationality of any prospective buyer is an issue to be fair. I want the best for the Club, not interested in their nationality.

Makes sense. Tbh I didn't spend too long reading the article because I've never heard of "winner sports" before so I just can't imagine they have any inside knowledge about this.

Nah, because according to my RS mate from Torquay, Liverpool are "defo on" for the world cup in 2018 - they don't even have to qualify!

We could come second though in Qatar, with the ref giving them lot a pen in the final.

Of course.

Except the Welsh.

 

[muddy mudguard]

Moores started BMC Software and I worked there for 6yrs.

He also owns a stud farm or something like that and the owner of my current company has a few race horses.

Both fellas from Texas - where I currently reside - it's on...

Too many coincidences!!

 

[Blue Cheese]

Of course.

Well, certain exceptions I suppose lol

 

[Blue Cheese]

I suppose unless the investors are from L4 they are all wools and plastics to be fair, let's carry on being skint until a homie buys us up.

Sorry, i think the cider is kicking in, I shall try to not post until sobriety hits once more.

My understanding is that no matter what % he owns above 50%, he is restricted to 49% of voting rights, so in effect can be blocked at every turn.
Don't follow German football, but did a tour of the Allianz Arena a couple of years back and the guide reckoned that as soon as 1860 got relegated and couldn't afford their half ownership it was the beginning of a very slippery slope for them.
