So much for the smokescreen for the Qataris.

 

[kiss the crest]

Imagine if we had the Newcastle owners. Nobody in here would give a toss. lol

I have got to to the stage in my life I just want Everton to compete again, how they get there is not my concern.

Are there any good US owners?

In all honesty if people aren’t concerned about the Bannon links that’s fine.
But it’s worth noting that this character operates across the world acting as a conduit and consultant to Neo-Nazi groups throughout America and Europe including this country.
His self declared aim is link the far right groups , he is dangerous.
Personally I would not welcome or accept anyone who is a close associate of this vermin at Everton.
I am aware many such as yourself couldn’t care less which is sad but is exactly what people like Bannon rely on to further their aims unobstructed.

Where have I said I couldn’t care less?

It’s not a case of pick your poison though, they’ll all kill you one way or another

Human rights abuse
Terrorist money laundering
Ties to war criminals
Cheap labour abuse
Betting market profiteering
And yes…undesirable political affiliations

Try finding a billionaire without at least one of these on their rap sheet.

We either turn a blind eye to all of them or we reject all of them equally (and the lack of competitiveness that comes with it) but what we can’t do is run the right wing sympathisers out of town and then gladly accept the pound or dollar that has been made by other nefarious means. That’s just hypocritical.

Actually reading the article it states that Thornton isn't the main person involved.

Are there any good US owners?

The vermin across the park seem to be okay with theirs

 

[wm02]

Which PL clubs are British owned?
Spurs, West Ham, Palace, Brentford, Brighton

Is that it?

 

[Zatara]

I think this will happen.

 

[Axlswhk]

They didn’t? Walsh was never a DOF, Koeman failed in every job apart from Southampton, Benitez hadn’t done anything since 2013, Silva had just been sacked, Brands was the only one with any sort of record of success and that was in a bum league. They were all terrible clueless appointments.

Plenty of folks were happy and supportive of moshiri when they were appointed. Nobody had a clue it turned out to be disaster after disaster.

Not much of complain except for fat waiter and big Sam.

You ITK

Absolutely not mate

Yeah that's obviously true but it's not surprising people are against Bannon seeing as how public his dealings are

I really, really dislike the guy but I never thought I'd have to think about him in a football context

Peter Kenyon-led consortium given exclusivity for Everton takeover talks​

Exclusive: Telegraph Sport understands that Poland-born American businessman Maciek Kaminski is providing the greatest weight behind the bid

ByMatt Law, FOOTBALL NEWS CORRESPONDENT14 June 2022 • 4:46pm

The Peter Kenyon-led consortium bidding to buy Everton have secured an exclusivity agreement for talks aimed at clinching a deal.

Telegraph Sport revealed on Monday that Kenyon is fronting a group, including chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate Maciek Kaminski and American businessman John Thornton, trying to buy Everton.
Heads of terms have been signed and it is understood that Kenyon’s group have agreed a period of exclusivity to hold detailed talks with Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and to carry out due diligence on the club.
Everton and Kenyon’s group have declined to comment on the talks, which have been described as “positive”. Telegraph Sport understands that, while the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive is fronting the group, Kaminski is providing the greatest financial weight behind the bid.

Kaminski is said to be a very private individual and it is unclear whether his wealth is personal or if he has secured funding through his business interests.
Attempts to contact Kaminski, who was born in Poland and immigrated to the United States aged eight, have so far been fruitless but a source told Telegraph Sport: “Kaminski is the money behind the bid. There is not a lot of information out there about him, but the word is he has significant funding behind him.”
Sources believe that, should a deal be agreed, then Everton will be sold for more than £500 million, including the club’s debt, while any new owners would also have to fund the new £500m stadium.

Kenyon has been advising clubs and prospective owners for a number of years from his base in Jersey. His company Opto Advisers have been involved with the transformative takeovers of Paris Saint-Germain and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has worked with Atletico Madrid and Middlesbrough, and was involved in a bid to buy Newcastle United.

He is not thought to be in line to earn any commission on the purchase of Everton and the current expectation is that Kenyon would take a role as part of any new ownership.

Thornton is the executive chairman of Barrick Gold, one of the world’s largest mining companies with a net worth of £31 billion, and non-executive chairman of PineBridge Investments, having stepped down as co-president of Goldman Sachs in 2003.

The consortium’s bid is being advised by investment specialist Michael Klein, along with the US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges. Klein was an adviser to the Sir Martin Broughton-fronted bid to buy Chelsea. The group made the final shortlist, but missed out to the Todd Boehly-led consortium.
