Deloitte know nothing. Absolute nothing about football finance.

Everton are the handout kings. Doped up by tv money. They're pretty much addicts who cant fend for themselves and just hold their hand out for the next fix.

I think Everton are putting an advert intop papers for more staff. It is headed Incompetents wanted.

we need a billionaire owner soon

Just to be run competently would do, £30m would have given us the Kings dock and we would be in a different stratosphere now.

Atm we are almost at the point were a new stadium would possibly not be worth the money if we had to pay every penny.

Do the people who defend Kenwright and warn of Portsmouth, Blackburn or Leeds, not see the irony of their warnings. The reason those clubs failed is because their previous owners sold for maximum profit will little regard to the suitability of the new owners to run the football club.

What exactly do you think the strategy is for Earl/Green? Do you really think that they invested in Everton for the love of the club? Hardly. They could see the tsunami of money that was about to wash over football and bought their shares for a song. At the minute, we've got a board of millionaires sitting tight and waiting for the maximum profit whilst the club stagnates. Make no mistake, when these bar stewards believe the Premier League gravy train has reached its maximum growth potential (record TV deal or not, there's more £££'s to be squeezed out yet) they will sell up to absolutely anybody willing to pay top dollar, regardless of whether they are a Venky's or similar.

And when it all goes tits up, the idiots can say "we told you a takeover would be a disaster"

I don't think Kenwright would sell us up the creek, I believe he is a true Evertonian, I also believe once we are sold the likely hood is that the next owners will only be in it for the money. why else??? It makes me laugh to hear people on this forum saying certain people are only in it for the money, well tell me some owners (besides fabulously rich arabs) who arnt in it for the money.

They did. They said an independant group of professionals to oversee finding people interested in the club and discussing the sale of the club with the current board.

Elstone said they wouldnt do it that way (and besides he reckoned he would be replaced - not wrong there) and the worlds greatest Evertonian also said he was the clubs best salesman.

Two years on and what have we got. Feck all and another stadium site handed to them on a plate is about to disappear into the ether.

Could you name me a club that was ever sold anywhere in the world where this was not the case! and that is exactly why when the club is sold its rarely to the clubs benefit.

Jack Hayward @ Wolves, took about 5 seconds to think of one

Not all buyers are like Kenwright mate.... buy cheap, invest nothing, sell assets, load debt. We might get a reasonable buyer this time.

Jack Hayward sold the club for a quid ,nobody expects Kenwright to sell for a quid but his consortium paid £20 million for 68% of the club so where does the £150 million valuation come from?

In the way I was questioned about how I could possibly know Robert Earl's motives, can I ask how you could possibly know Bill Kenwright's motives?

I find it incredulous that you have such complete faith in BK's intentions and yet you are prepared to scare-monger as to the intentions of future owners, people whose identity is currently unknown!!! Your crystal ball is obviously the real deal.

I'd love to hear how any future owner is going to be in it for the money because firstly they're gonna pay absolute top whack to buy the club and secondly we've hardly got any assets left to sell-off.

 

[Visitor22]

Stunned by the admission that there was a get-out clause last year and they decided to go for four more years of Kitbag

And if the Umbro deal is so great, why aren't they attaching a number to it?

Damo reverting back to using different colour fonts as well as bolding, italicising and sizing.

That's worked out really well for them.

 

[Moomin]

Considering they got relegated to league one, now only in the championship and have no access to the mega TV deal money. Their board had completed part of a redevelopment on its stadium got planning permission for another stand but are doing a redevelopment of it Academy and training facilities first.

While us with the greatest TV deal in history have erm........... We lease our training facilities and had a marquee in the car park.

EVERTON, WHAT'S OUR NAME? EVERTON

The poster asked if any club in the world was sold to benefit the club and not the outgoing owner

As I said it wasnt hard to think of one and im sure there would be many others around the world

Yes, but are a premiership club, have always been and have a squad of players that Wolves can only dream about, in fact we were linked to two of Wolves best players early in the close season, much to the disgust of many on here.

However, I do agree that a new ground is vital and goodness knows how it will ever be delivered.

I want a better solution , not just any solution.
