Takeover bid by Peter Kenyon

[AmericasToffee]

These

At least Moshiri actually had an interest in football...These guys have absolutely no interest in this club other than the riches that come with the Prem.

He has interest in making money and playing real life football manager without listening to the experts. Not any better at all, iyam.

Feel like Moshiri is lowballing himself at 500m.

Which would mean there is a significant skeleton in the closet ready to bite.

Now it may just mean Usmanov has switched off the taps and said get whatever you can. But could also mean stadium financing issues, serious FFP issues etc.

We’ve just nearly been relegated and can barely spend any money because we are so badly ran. I’d say it was a failure

And what club outside of a fluke title winning Leicester have broken the glass ceiling mate?

Only us and Villa have tried it and Villa will end up in the same mess we did.

Newcastle will only succeed by the Saudi's blowing apart FFP as they wont manage it spending £25 million on Chris Wood.

Meh. No to this group, but I'm ok with an American owner. It's silly to stereotype. The American in the lot that bought Chelsea is part of a group spending tons to let teams have success i.e. the Dodgers.

AC Milan are American owned now too.

As long as we get little USA flags to wave, put on our seats, we come running out to Born in the USA by Springsteen and Apollo Creed does all of our PR work, I'm all for this takeover.

Here’s a preview of the first halftime show

So if theres veracity to the reports it's a good get of jail free card for Moshiri. He can state he was apologetic about events but doesn't have to follow through on remedying matters

 

[davids]

One of them is big pals with Allardyce, just saying.?

Richard Keysy Keyes said the mosh man was putting the feelers out in the middle east about 18 months ago.

You're obviously gona bang the American drum. I'll never be convinced.

 

[windymiller]

I certainly believe we have changed approach,and I should think you also do if you are honest

I prefer to judge Everton football club by their actions not their club sanctioned Twitter rumours. I will reserve judgement until the transfer window slams shut. What I will say is that they've got off to a bad start offering JJK a three-year contract and taking on a cryptocasino sponsor. So far, so old Everton.

Think we all acknowledge he's made mistakes (hiring Benetiz, Alladyce) being one. But it's the same story over the past 5 to 6 seasons, the players on the pitch have been abysmal. He can only write so many cheques, hire so many manager's and DOFs, fund new stadium's seemingly out his back pocket. He can't do it all himself.

And over that period he cannot be accountable for it all, surely other board members and managers, DOFs and ultimately player's take the blame.

….he buys players himself, he deals with agents directly. You can’t appoint DoF & Managers and work on your own agenda, especially when you haven’t a clue about footy.

 

[ilikecheese]

Why hasn't the title been fixed?

 

[catcherintherye]

Which one?

If you mean Thornton the article was a blag mate they referred to the company he was chairman of's value not his own wealth.

The other fella mate.

Thornton is heavily involved with Gold Barrick. Hes a very serious operator. Gold Barrick is worth about 30bn, but that's not him.

Dont know how much hes worth.

 

[blulouie]

Richard Keyes been adamant for a while now Middle East/ Arab wanting to buy the club.

 

[TheBigIguana]

I never knew Moshiri played 11 positions on the pitch, managed his 11 doppelgangers and signed all the players.

Almost like he's an easy scapegoat.

Almost like he's in charge
