Takeover bid by Peter Kenyon

I would rather not be sold to tight white men if at all possible.

Jesus.

To be honest I'm happy to roll the dice with new owners. Moshiri hasn't a clue whatsoever about football, almost relegated us, and we have been a shambles on and off the pitch.

At least we had hope of challenging the top with Moshiri, he wanted us to be a big club again regardless of cost. Under American owners we would have been comparatively slumming it and saying hello to a stadium in Stonebridge Cross if we got a new one at all.

Now yes they could make better decisions with less money and we'd still be no worse than where we ended up, but there are zero guarantees they will make better decisions.

I’m very nervous about this.

I think we will struggle to make poorer decisions. I've been embarrassed at how we've been run for a few years now.

What? We’re further away from being anything remotely resembling a competent football club let alone one that wins things, than we ever have been in my life. And no, spending £45m on Gylfi Sigurdsson didn’t give me hope.

I bet you one of them earns more in a minute, from interest, than you have in all your accounts

Even if we get taken over by the American Mike Ashley?

It's football. By it's nature, nowadays shrouded in mystery. Undisclosed transfer fees, agents unaccountable, FIFA, the list goes on... It's a gold train.

Ten years ago, the wealthy wanted to show themselves and their wealth by buying clubs. Vanity and clever accounting.

Now, it's consortiums. With a "respected" figurehead ie. Staveley, Kenyon et al. And the rest in the murky background.

Not sure where I stand on this tbh......

Isn't that Moshiri?

Some of these fans dont understand what is heading their way.

Reality will hit them hard over the coming years if this lot get keys to Goodison.

Be marches in their thousands when its all too late.

RIP

Wouldnt make much difference

We literally signed a player last January who neither the previous or future manager wanted

We allowed a manager to sell a key player after a fall out then sacked him the following weekend

I think it would be difficult to make worse decisions.

‘Including the club’s debt’. How much is that? Is that all the debt that is currently owed to Moshiri?

For all his ever so benevolent funding, it looks like Moshiri will be walking away with a hefty profit?

I doubt it

 

[tellmema]

The echo reporting that talks about financing the ground turned into full blown takeover talks by those interested parties - I believe Goldman Sachs were involved in the talks of financing of the ground investment.

That's my concern..... Real estate. It seems to be their focus. Can understand it as investors....

But where is their REAL interest.... Not sure its us. The people's club.

Considering he recorded a podcast with nothing but minor transfer tittle tattle about an hour before this massive story broke I think it’s fair to say Bobble is out of the loop on this one.

He just said that on a Twitter space. He doesn’t know much about it but all he knows at the moment is Moshiri was looking for help on BMD which had turned into a potential sale.

Guess we’ll have the Mosh Man to thank for that one then to add to his dossier of mistakes. What a fitting end to his legacy, selling us to these and finishing off the job he started - the destruction of the club.
