hahaha no Chinese owners will be allowed near the premier league

But Saudis will !

Just to add to this...

The play for the Americans would be to buy the club from Moshiri.

Restructure the business from top to bottom + open the stadium.

Then bring in the Chinese.

Nothing like a chow mein to celebrate a good restructuring...

Any takeover is going to be less than ideal to some extent, unless it's a sovereign state buyer. Other than that, there are very few consortia/individual investors willing to pump large sums of cash into a club.

That said, some proposals are better than others. Let's hope there is more than one interested buying group.

Moshiri is a very, very wealthy accountant. Accountants seem to take their slice from society's labours by knowing every trick in the book. Given his wealth, therefore, its hard to believe he doesn't know what he's doing with finances and that he'd muck it up.

To be fair he blew 800 mill on us to get progressively worse and he wont make a return on that.

Not sure id trust him with the weekly big shop.

Its a no from me.

There is no upside.

To be honest after the season we have all just endured, any change to the current status quo triggers a small degree of hope and excitement for better times.

It says a lot that I’d much rather some fella from Qatar swoops in and buys us instead. Would much rather be his plaything and him throw tons of money at us than have the Yanks come on board and look to turn a quick buck.

 

[SingBlue]

Being a contrarian for the sake of it doesn’t make him cool. He was an utter failure as a football club owner and now spends his days taking shots at others who, however incompetent, have still done a better job than that Just For Men guzzling little gremlin.

Also we can thank him for us signing Tim Cahill, for refusing to pay his agent fee. So there's that....

Imagine coming to Everton with the aim of making a profit lol you would have to question their supposed business acumen

This seems a bit light for Thornton but im also not sure where Esks enormous figures have come from.

These guys are real money men and it would be interesting copying their stock pics.

I find it challenging to see how they would be successful operating a football club.

That's a fair assessment.

The fund(s) they manage are worth lots of money. They are very competent people at business level.

I have asked about football competency, and some suggestion this is covered by Kenyon, who is deemed to be an astute operator.

Will look to pursue an aggressive strategy, whatever that means.

Mericans are going to get the PL to develop their own global broadcast deal imo. Jib off Sky, BT etc etc, and do it themselves. $10.00 a month for any PL game you want to watch, with 100 million subscribers, worldwide, is a pretty attractive idea. As long as you get the clubs to agree, I guess.

Pretty much what Boehly said a few months ago for his aim of buying Chelsea, he was mentioning how lucrative streaming in house could be for clubs.
