Takeover bid by Peter Kenyon

[Neiler]

What do you read into that mate?

I'm speculating of course mate:

I believe one of the named investors is a former president of GS - so he was either involved in the financial negotiations of investing in the ground or the investment opportunity was put to him through that route and he's put together a consortium of investors, to look at a possible takeover. Where Kenyon fits into this is anyone's guess - portably as a industry expert representing.

Id be guessing the reasoning is, if they fund the ground anyway - why not own it as opposed to just getting the interest in the investment and bet that it will be worth more 500mill + interest, if they sit on it for a couple of years, buying the club lock stock is an additional expense amongst them, but again an asset they would look to appreciate - though its a basket case, but sweating the stadium could help. Ive also wondered would they look to do something different with the Goodison legacy - its a big piece of land and site they could look to turn into something more profitable then what is planned. I think they are looking at fixed assets - Goodison, New ground and Club itself and seeing dollar signs if they can appreciate with minimal investment. For once we're fixed asset heavy.

A fear would be them separating church and state i.e. separating ownership of the ground from the club - though I've no reason to suspect that.

It would be nice to have some people with experience of running successful clubs owning us for a change.

Absolutely won't be said as Bill will keep his position as a board member somehow.

That wouldn’t be a surprise to me either

I see that posting Steve Bannon's name has got my adverts aligned to my interests

Rumblings about other suitors in the press now. The hope is that Mosh has leaked this deal as bait for the bigger fish. It worked for Chelsea, hopefully we get a few more interested parties too!

If that were the case I doubt he would have given them exclusive right , as is reported.

Theres reports that this current consortium has an exclusivity arrangement in place with Moshiri early stages though but it seems like if they want to pursue the deal they have first rights

Choose your fighter:
1. The neo nazi loving Y*nks
2. The idiot Iranian
3. Red Bull Everton (with badge change and the works)
4. Blue Bill saves his beloved Everton *again*

I have never heard of any of these people... apart from Peter Kenyon.

I am not going to get worried about a project that may never happen with people I haven't even heard of.... at least not yet.

If you are the money man behind a £500m-1billion takeover and you have little to no information about you in the public domain (including reputable sites such as Forbes etc) then something doesn't add up.

These are real estate / US venture Capitalists looking for a quick buck.

We are in for a rocky few years ahead.

How will they make a quick buck after putting a billion pound down? If they do make money, it won’t be quick, and it will be from the sale of the club, just like Moshiri has done. The club would have to be in an attractive state to sell it for more than one billion.

I'd never heard of Moshiri. lol

Never a dull moment as a blue, even in the summer

 

[BenToffee79]

Just one summer where there isn't massive upheaval to worry about would be nice Everton.

It’s needed , Moshiri and Kenwright and his super agents ,and his lack of any football nous has taken this club to its lowest ebb in some time

I assume we can, we wont just stop operating.

It seems odd that theres talk of four groups.

However one suddenly has exclusivity.

Chelsea have done things for the benefit of the fans long term.

This doesnt look good for us in comparison.




How on Earth did Moshiri speak to this group about financing a stadium...its so random.

Is there talk of exclusivity, or is it just saying the initial terms agreed subject to diligence on either side?

If it's the latter, theres plenty to go, and it could be being used as a tool to see if any other buyer wants to firm up.
