Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[Bob Elstone]

I heard today that Lukaku and Stones both decided to stay because they were told we're selling up. Not only will they be getting monster pay raises but we'll also be signing three or four 20m+ players in the summer for a push (the deal won't be on until after the window closes). The board are hoping for at least a Europa League spot to help them attract top talent and hit the ground running post-takeover.

They also plan on an honour guard for Kenwright when we play Norwich at the end of the season

Heard from who?

So then why hasnt the club stuck by its 'transparency' tag line and said to the world 'yes we are in an exclusivity period with a group headed by American's/Jordanian's/Thai's, we will not comment on anything further until this runs out on the 12th of Never'?

Not rocket science, unless its all a big con.

perhaps not a con but certainly a good example of the club playing the media well, again.

or maybe a smokescreen.

then they'd better do something about that now.

Message to Butland and Shawcross to bring their suitcases as they now live in Formby (cut price deal on Brenda's old house) ... and sign the mythical No. 10 or Yarmalenko.

If the possible potential investors/buyers are watching today, then a real, proper atmosphere coupled with a good win might help speed things along - we can play a part in this if they hear/feel the passion we have for our club.

I'll be very interested to see if Moores or Noell are seen and recognised at the game today, would really prove they're interested.

Imagine if Hasan Abdullah Ismaik was at the game.

Let's be honest though, the best we're going to get visiting today is a couple of bogans from Stoke.

Wishful thinking. Noones in a position to make any kind of promises to the players until the details of any offer are hammered out. And I'll be very surprised if there's that kind of money to splurge on players, I would imagine that the stadium issue will take priority.

Stones didn't "decide to stay", he handed in a transfer request

Correct...

Correct...

Stones could have forced Everton but Martinez talked him back into his senses.

Did he, or was it his agent after a large slice?

 

[toffeejack]

Can you just imagine for a second, us having millions upon millions to spend window after window,buying our way to the league and cups and Champions league and even though all those trophies would be great I would just find myself even more than usual pointing at any Kopite who is unfortunate to cross my path and simply going hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaahahahahhahahahahahahaha hahahahahaha hahahahahaha for a good 20 minutes or so.

It would be tremendous!

it's the hope that kills you. I'm not going to enter this train of thought.

So why was he seen with tears in his eyes on more than one occasion afterwards?

He was ill advised by his money grabbing agent to try to force a move, the lad never really wanted to go.

 

[evertony]

Where did the rumour emanate from @BigDunc'sFod out of interest? The bloke in a boozer scenario or something more concrete? Not wanting to put you on the spot just in case it's a real ITK bit of info, but just interested if it was something other than a fantasy spilled by someone still tipsy on the Yuletide Sherry?

Let's get one thing straight, when (not if) John Stones leaves he will be leaving for a combination offer trophies and more money, as he will be leaving for an elite level club. He can go with my blessing as I genuinely think he'll be one of the best centre halves of his generation.

How would you feel about an overweight Sheik?

could do with a slim fast sheik after all that turkey.

Thats what everyone - especially media folks - said last summer. But yes, I tend to agree with you actually.

Bill Kenwright's brother (Tom) is telling people the deal has been agreed and Everton will be sold to John Jay Moores and Charles Noell.
