Takeover bid by Peter Kenyon

[marnie]

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

Good lad is Paul.

Fixed mate

Warm can of chang incoming...

Richard Branson would have been boss, all the players landing on the pitch in hot air balloons before kick off. Could have had Madonna singing like a Virgin at half time.

Kick em while they're down mucker.

I have to wonder, why after spending all this money and finally delivering on a new Stadium Moshiri is considering selling up.... Surely it would make more sense waiting until project is finished and he could command a larger

It's a fair point. I think others have suggested he's not as enthusiastic about owning us any more as he was when he first arrived. And the on field woes and off field financial accounting mess probably makes him question what he is doing owning a football club.

It might seem obvious I just can't get beyond what has happened as a result of what a certain repugnant person in Russia decided to do in Ukraine and the seismic after effects. Which means Moshiri's business partner is targeted creating knock on effects including our ties with the various organisations who were sponsoring us ending. I think it's probably unfair to think of Moshiri as Usmanov's sidekick but Moshiri is definitely not the main man and now that Usmanov
is on a sabbatical Moshiri needs to reign in this vanity project.

Which to be honest I feel has been a complete failure. With the existing chairman still mulling over those good times we've had.

Even if I was a billionaire, I seriously doubt I'd buy us. Megalomaniacs, morons and speculators buy sports teams, it's a money pit...you should expect the worst, by default. Dunno why some of you are shedding so much.

Everyone thought Abramovich was that guy but he was just a laundering shyster...nobody just gives money away for something so trivial as a stupid, meaningless tin pot to put in a curio cabinet...apart from fans.

When the Everton Phoenix Club is formed - think FC United of Manchester - what role will you take up?

I've dibsed comms officer

Chief scout for me, I already have extensive knowledge of level 8 football. Hope Akpan is currently a free agent having just been released by Widnes for being a fat mess.

Bring a blue home.

I’m scared

Kenyon, on past form at least seems to 'know the cries' as is said, but all those he's fronting for...and that's all he is a guy on the ground d on this side of the Atlantic...Would they pass the old criteria, nevermind the new rules(?) brought in after the horsepunchers take over.

Is it a case of...anybody's better than Moshiri...are they 'not our sort of chaps' and even if they're not, do we have a choice if Moshiri want to sell us out from under.

Edit:
Q) is any billionaire / very rich dude / businessman 'our sort of chap'
A) probably not

Newcastle, richest club on the planet, currently can’t spend loads on the worlds best players because of FFP.

But they can spend loads if they want too.

Thanks to their last owner being an absolute minge. Probably in the top 3 'best' run clubs on that front. They'd need to go absolutely mental to fall foul of FFP.

I'm actually a little disappointed at how sensible the new owners seem to be. They have got pretty much every move right so far.

There stuck on the part that says Bill has to be kept on.

I would expect this group will see through him like a cheap suit. He no longer has the leverage he had when selling to Moshiri. A dispensible employee now. No more than that In their eyes.

 

[Librarian]

Bill will survive this like a cockroach strutting out of a nuclear reactor

Need to stop posting as soon as I open my eyes. lol

That's better.

That old model of a businessman buying the local football club as a community asset, and they invest in it with no expectation of ever making money, is long, long gone. You still want that, then you need to go to non league. But no, just blame everything on “the Yanks.”
