Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[TheFinnFan]

Beecroft is a Kopite and he's got a track record of talking absolute balls.

I don't think that comment was any sort of inside track, it was merely him assuming that the takeover would conclude based on the fact it's well advanced.

Davek said he's part of everton old guard and well connected.

He's merely an auld Kopite (who reports on both clubs games, so has never 'come out' btw) and he's no more connected than any random match day journo. He'll have heard nothing of substance that's not already in the public domain imo.

That shows them with a historical interest in "soccer", since the MLS started in '96. So they have an interest in the game.

And looking to purchase an expansion team, in San Diego, which would require a stadium built. That parallels our needs too.

Makes it all sound plausible at least.

Also:
Imminent, adj, about to happen.

He is a Tranmere fan with a leaning towards us too, ex BBC Radio Merseyside.

Alan Brazil always used to take the piss out of him being a closet Kopite

Yeah, I completely agree, and maybe its time for a new home and a new mortgage, but I think that's exactly what it will be, rather than investment from the consortium themselves, and how does that go down, given that people have been saying a debt funded stadium will be problematic and have massive consequences on things like recruitment etc?

For me, if they aren't going to put in any of their own money, then they will be no better than Kenwright.

Investors are looking for a return on their investment. Whether they use debt or their own cash is less important than whether they have good sense in how to make a football club successful/profitable/a good investment.

So, if this comes off are we a massively rich club?

 

[SerenityNigh]

Not at all. The value of the club would still be above £100mil, the club is undervalued if its available for £200mil. Not only in terms of players/assets but revenues.

I find it odd also that the new guy at Palace, Joshua Harris has run Philadephia 76ers into the ground...the liverpool guy werner sold that other team to Moores and they were in a bad way....kroenke doesnt seem to invest in the clubs he owns...and neither do the glazers.

Karl Henry seems to be the only one building up the Red Sox but thats likely because hes an actual fan....the other American investors into English clubs dont seem to improve their US sports teams and i imagine the same will be said for their English clubs.

If we could get a top notch new stadium id rather keep Kenwright.

Most owners of sports franchises are rent seeking. The other few are usually the playboy types (Abramovich).

Currently my main hope is our full backs play as full backs and help our two young inexperienced centrebacks and not expose them.

You just nailed it - right there.

Dunno but more importantly...would we be richer than RS???

 

[evertony]

Beacroft is a Tranmere fan with a heavy leaning towards the Shyte....he is not an Evertonian. He's probably heard it from that ginger blert Parry

We'll have some money, its at least an improvement
