Think we should just agree to disagree mate - don;t get me wrong would love to be in City's shoes but one last thing - what would you want? He can't spend billions and all the money we generate goes on wages / sustaining us - so what is the answer?
 

Bill could easily of sold the club by now if he really wanted to i reckon, pretty sure some no marks will of looked at us so why didnt he do the right thing and sell? The types that have either ruined clubs when things were going well, taken large clubs backwards, or gone in with stupid ideas such as the clowns at clubs like Cardiff, Leeds, Portsmouth, Blackburn, Newcastle and proberbly several others. Yeah sucks Bill has kept hold other us rather than sell to anyone for the sake of it, come back PJ, we know you had our best interests at heart.

Sorry mate but you are wrong. The Glazers attend almost every home game at United and Mansour is a fairly regular attendee at City's home games.

Is Mansour the owner of City? Isn't he just the owners nephew or something? I'm sure I've read in many different articles the actual owners never appeared more than once at a match.

As for the Glazers, I'm sure given there's about 6 of them now as joint owners there's always one or two available for a jolly up smozzing session at the family play thing.

They bought shares off previous investors, they did not invest directly into the club. Just like if you buy some Shell PLC shares tomorrow, Shell don't benefit it's the seller who receives your cash.

Surely buying shares in any company is an investment Esk? Nobody expects their capital to be reduced when buying shares do they? Without Woods or Earl joining THB Kenwright could never have bought and kept control over Everton, so surely by definition he's found some sort of investment?

What people crave is a benefactor, Kenwright has surely fulfilled his promise about searching for investors.

I think we have to differentiate between buying shares already issued and buying shares newly issued for the purposes of increasing the capital available to the club.

The Board members are as much investors in the club as I am, we're all shareholders by virtue of having acquired previously issued shares. However they (and me) have not invested additional capital into the business and that's the distinction.

The beneficiaries of our share purchases are the sellers of the shares, not the club (or underlying company).

It's true to say they have invested in the purchase of shares, but it is not true to say they have invested in the club.
