Is a LBO even possible considering the obscene amount of debt the club already has?

If there’s a leveraged buy out there’d be less moaning on here than there was when Benitez started Rondon over Lewis Dobbin and Ellis Simms ffs.
As for the takeover as a whole I don’t like the sound of this lot but until we know more it’s just an initial gut feel.
People blast Moshiri but ultimately he didn’t have to build a world class stadium. He could have had us in a car park off the M62 for a fraction of the price from day one, or he could have done nothing and kept us at Goodison. Instead we’re halfway towards what will be one of the most iconic grounds in the premier league when it’s completed.
He’s trusted the wrong people on the football side, and that includes those he kept in place like DBB and Bill. Perhaps he wanted to keep the soul of the club intact, who knows, either way it was a mistake in hindsight.
Fortunes change on small things though. If we’d bought Silva a CB in his second season and Gbamin Gomes Delph hadn’t all got crocked, he might not have been fired and we might have avoided all the carnage since and we’d be talking about Moshiri as a steadying hand on the tiller. Sadly it just didn’t turn out that way.
He’s got many faults but his positives can’t be overlooked as well. Ultimately though until someone sorts out a league one standard medical department and a recruitment team that buys players with no interest in being at Everton then it doesn’t matter how rich your billionaire is.

In all honesty I would lean towards the Moshiri option, as long as the football is entertaining. I have seen us win silverware but the most important thing for me has always been the enjoyment I get from seeing good football. I am not motivated by success for it's own sake, but if it is achieved by playing good football I will be very pleased.
My concern is that the Kenyon consortium would be equally happy to see the team simply maintain prem status, but still milk the club as you have suggested.
There is a theory that when an institution is prone to continual unchecked hysteria that it is compromised from one hasty desperate decision to another in a sort of bust bust cycle until it’s final form of ruin.
Narrator: the continual unchecked hysteria were entitled Everton fans who ended up putting their own club out of business, as they chanted NSNO NSNO NSNO.

What are they going to milk? If we simply maintain our prem status, we will never be profitable, and therefore there will be no retained earnings they can take out of the club in the form of dividends.
Everton football club, right now.

That's not true.
You and foreverblurt need to get over benitez. It's really boring.
We should all be so lucky as to reach our final form of ruin.
This hell won't end for us, for our children, or our children's children. Everton will limp along for eons!

It’s not about Benitez, that’s the whole point which a lot of people don’t understand. The same way getting rid of Carlo for the wrong tactics which some wanted wasn’t the right move, or firing Lampard after the Burnley loss wouldn’t have been the right move.
My point is that we have a fanbase obsessed with managers. The banners are all out when they didn’t want Pereira yet when it comes to missing a minute of football to protest 27 years of inept ownership, ‘nah cba kopite behaviour that lad’
As others have pointed out, if Liverpool lose a game FSG are being questioned. United fans revile Ed Woodward and the glazers. Kroenke can barely show his face in London. Meanwhile we still have fans who won’t hear a bad word about DBB despite the fact she’s achieved Jack since she’s been here.
We moan about Kenwirght being too sentimental but the fanbase is equally just as bad, we’ll put up with absolutely anything, 30 years without a trophy and barely a whimper….until it comes to managers where we’re quite happy to have them out after a few losses. We’re not bothered about the pathetic executive team behind them, or the crap they have to manage which have seen off 5 other managers. No, it’s all about getting one man out, and if his name is Benitez then even better.
I really hope there is a big mobilisation of fans if these turn out to be the wrong owners for Everton but based on the last 30 years I’m not sure that there’s any evidence for it occurring. Unless they bring back Benitez of course….
Its a perfectly consistent theorem sir. Applies to business often.

Me too mate im old enough to remember the glory days but just existing in the PL like we have been for 30 years is boring.
I'm not saying Kenyon if it happens will be successful but i believe we will have a better chance of being successful IMO.
This lot have just nearly had us relegated with a bucket load of cash over a period of 6 years, i cant believe even 1 Everton fan still wants any of them here.
'Better the devil you know' ye the devil that's left us in turmoil and transfer wise pot less due to gross mis-management. I could still be behind them if we had stagnated during his time but going backwards to the extent in which we have then no, just no for me.
