Takeover: The nationality of our new owners will be (approximately) ?

[peteblue]

Delighted its not the Americans.

Farhad Moshiri would be fantastic.

On the face of it, this could be better for the club......

 

[turner]

Usmanov and Moshiri will be linked together for a long time to come. Moshiri owns 10% of Usmanov's holding company .

Interestingly their football holdings have always sat outside his main holding company.

Chinese walls and all that...

Oh God, now the Chinese are involved again.

 

[davids]

No to America owners

If they didn't have the plan to convince the supporters shareholding in Swansea that should have told us something.

 

[peteblue]

Does this mean the Yarmelenko deal is back on.

No mate, we're getting Messi instead.......

[Caolam]

It is like Antiques Roadshow

If they didn't have the plan to convince the supporters shareholding in Swansea that should have told us something.

The fact that they went for Swansea in the first place should have told us something........

 

[royalblue66]

Is it alright to say Good old Bill. ?

 

[Caolam]

No mate, we're getting Messi instead.......

He would look good in blue

 

[The Mighty Quint]

He told us but we wouldn't listen...

"There have even been suggestions an American consortium led by former San Diego Padres owner John Jay Moores could be completed by the end of the month. With serious interest from China too, the Goodison board has even suggested a timescale in many months rather than days, and Martinez seemed to confirm that on Thursday, as he spoke openly about the prospect of a takeover."

Senior officials at the club have dismissed those claims, and suggested nothing is likely to be concluded until the end of the season at the earliest – with at least three other parties still negotiating alongside the Americans. Everton sources suggest there is only a 50-50 chance of it being completed, but there is also interest from China and the Middle East, and there is a hope within the boardroom they can find the right investment to move the club forward."

From 11 February...

Middle East has been mentioned from time to time.
I still wouldn't be surprised if the "Mystery Middle East Group" isn't Farhad Moshiri.

 

[Khalekan]

Voted Middle East because I want us to be Man City

NEA

I would hate us to be Man City.

That club has become the Dorian Gray of football.....soul completely lost in the past few years.

Chelsea and City were crap when they were picked.

Chelsea were in the champions league
