Its irrelevant. The Fair Play rules - mean you can or cant play in Europe and earn additional revenue.
This means if the likes of Villa don't start breaking even they can't play in Europe. They're currently losing annually what can be covered externally under the regulation. This means they're in serious trouble.
Incidentally Everton are budgeting for less than that (with £10million to spare) over a three year period.
But that wasnt my point and you've dodged it again. Forget Europe because we wont be in it anytime soon.
Someone comes in, they sink £200million into the club on rebuilds etc. The club still has £200million of debt. You're talking about self-staining - that takes time and patience...something any buyer nowdays doesnt have. And this is without buying players.
Nothing to do with fair play regs.
Its all about the price. We ARE attractive. I've told you this time and again. But you're confusing what Bill et al are quoting with - a lack of interest.
Elstone himself had to back track two days after he went on his blog and claimed no one was interested. Big fo par by him.
Its all about the price.
So....we arent attractive then? If I've got £20quid, a £30 pair of trabs aint going to look attractive - oh and the additional costs of keeping them clean, new laces, in-soles, is gonna be more than my £20 quid.
It wouldn't take 10 years since under the regulations - although its monitored - it's not restricted under the regualtions. He/she could do that all in one year if they wished or two. And no one would bat an eyelid. Since its on INFRASTRUCTURE.
Infrastructure to raise the turnover at the club. That turnover increase would lead to more value and a greater chance of profitablitiy. Its the fortuitous circle.
Villa's debts are such - that they simply won't be able to get into that circle for years - unlike as you claim - EVERTON!!!
You're taking ifs and maybes and guess work that you have no foundation but your opinion of what the club can do. But your time frame is well off. How long did it take Arsenal to be how they are? And you expect it to be done overnight? Oh, and arent Citeh doing the same thing now, developing houses around the area?
We havent even begun anything. Years mate. Decades for us.
I don't need to. Scudamore is an opportunist liar who's hand was forced by UEFA. UEFA and the EU commission view the Premier League as the biggest debt offenders.
He had to wheel something out to try and steal their thunder. Which he hasn't. Its purely about image. He's not letting on the real worries they have, since he's lobbying to weaken things. But that's not going to happen.
Your opinion of the feller. But he's the one who talks to UEFA who are over-viewing the regulations, he's the one who keeps the league in line with them. He says its fine...its fine so the likes of Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Citeh and Arsenal will all be the biggest draws in the Champions League for years to come.
You're repeatedly implying it. Along with others on here.
"Everton are going into administration" - nonsense.
When did I say that? Again, making up things to satisfy you're own logic.
I said we'd be in the **** financially if we finished in the bottom half of the table. You cant even say that we'd be fine if that happened.
Rubbish. They're more locked into a business model that isn't working than Everton.
By the time he gets costs under control they'll be £200million + in debt.
Kenwright must have something up his sleeve to change the business model at Everton as theirs no reason for him to remain otherwise. Since ultimately he'll never get the price he's asking above that currently for otherwise.
But still Villa's financial position is getting worse at SIX TIMES the rate Everton's is.
If you think that that is a better position or investment than Everton then you want your head feeling.
Self loath all you want. Villa will be loathing when it goes belly up.
Guess work again in regards to Kenwright having something "up his sleeve".
I've never debated that Villa's financial situation is better than ours. Its not.
But they are more attractive than we are which you still havent defended. They have the stadium, the location, the image of being the biggest in their city, still have untapped revenue streams and make more turnover than we do.
They can easily impliment anything that you suggest in regards to our club. They can also sell up quicker and more successfully than we can because...Lerner is a better business man than Kenwright.
For someone who's quick to slap up facts and figures, you have just thrown up a load of ifs and maybes of what Everton could do...but forgetting where the club and the owners in charge dont look like changing anytime soon.
And no, I dont think Moyes would have million upon millions to spend....
But Im sure as hell think that Lerner would sell him the plan, the future etc of Villa more so than Kenwright can do with Everton. He would also lob in a few bob when needed - that odd £5million player Moyes wanted? Im sure Lerner would spot him that where at Everton he'd have no chance.
