Takeover bid by Peter Kenyon

You don't half talk some utter tripe.

So, someone isn't listed in the Sunday Times Rich List, the FT100 or Forbes or whatever other financial journal you care to dream up and you think they're potless.

Honestly pal, you need to take a long lie down in a quiet room.

And as I've already said to @davek, I'm completely neutral over the situation where this consortium is concerned - there simply is not enough information out there for me to form an opinion just yet, so my eyes are wide open right now.

Possibly....but it does indicate that their assets/value are tied up with other ventures rather than them as individuals. Which in turn means they can't really spend it unless someone else says so.

If you look at the Newcastle owners...it's a culture fund, funded by the state. Someone has to have a say if what money gets spent out of it.
 
You mean the consortium headed up by Peter Kenyon, the former CEO of both Manchester United and Chelsea... and doesn't have any sports experience ?
He has never owned a professional sports franchise. Currently it is unclear if he is a financier (would not be the primary one regardless) or if he is organizing and assisting the sale as he has done in the past.

Regardless if that is enough to have blind faith in a group from a pool of 1, by all means. What I cant seem to understand is folks defending Moshiri and a group that seems middle of the pack in terms of resources (maybe worse in associations) having possibly signed exclusivity rights when no one knew the club was for sale. Where are the demands in approval of the fan group, the lengthy involvement of the fit and proper test (possibly the gov't as this team is being sold for similar reasons as Chelsea). Or simply the chance for other possible bidders to express interest and make their pitch.

The most consequential decision of possibly the next 30 years was made possibly overnight with no one knowing the team was for sale. If it goes badly it'll be hard to see why?

Im not suggesting these blokes are skint and claiming Universal Credit but ultimately the PL is now a billionaires playground and its highly unlikely these fellas are billionaires who are hiding their wealth - its more realistic that they are millionaires similiar to the likes of your Kenwright/Whelan/Ellis old school club owners of years gone by who the top flight has passed by.

I appreciate you're on the fence but the rate in which this is going we have to look at the limited information we have in the public domain and that is these fellas are real estate investors with zero experience / interest in football/US sports franchises, no concrete evidence of being able to invest money in the club going forward to keep us competitive or what their motives are in comparison to the lads who just bought Chelsea.

This takeover could have massive ramifications on the clubs long term future + BMD.

As I understand it, the Kenyon-led consortium having exclusivity rights is to give them time to study the accounts and potentially prepare a bid BEFORE Moshiri can open/continue negotiations with any other interested parties.

And there's been rumours in financial circles for months that Moshiri might be willing to consider selling - whilst not common knowledge or in the public domain, the reports of there being four interested parties are understood to be accurate.
 
It's funny but not surprising to see the same old suspects jump at the chance to take sides when we know very little about who even makes up the consortium, let alone their plans.

Here's an odd idea, how about we wait and find out a little more before pronouncing the demise of Everton FC.

It's why Im dubious about it being a full takeover.

Investment and selling off shares (which apparently what it was initially) I could believe it still being
 
That was 6 years ago and he got told bad info.. get over it all ready

About time someone stood up for him, I’ve spoken to him a few times and he’s a good egg and shared what he gets told

Told by whom ? I can tell you now that when Moshiri and I had dinner last week he said Kenyon and his mates don’t have the money and that he’s just waiting for Usmanov to beat the rap and come back….do you see how this works…Witsel, Mata, etc…..

Is nowhere close to being a takeover yet.
They're clearly looking at the opportunity and Moshiri has clearly agreed to grant them time to turn their interest into a potential bid.
 
It’s not in these people’s interest to come in and cause anarchy amongst the fan base. Did nobody take any notice at the protests made when we didn’t want certain managers at the club? These lot wouldn’t last 5 minutes if they come in and actually make us worse (if that’s possible). If that lot could run Hicks and Gillette out of town in record time I’m pretty sure we could if it goes tits up!
