It is inconceivable how even a low cost ground redevelopment can be paid for from debt even as broadcasting revenues increase. The cost of repaying and servicing the debt is similar to the likely revenues earned. Secondly piling on debt would remove any flexibilty in the short term for financing transfers. We would be limited to selling to buy, or at best restricted to funding purchases from operating profits.

Everton's biggest problem is its balance sheet. It desperately needs recapitalising either from existing shareholders, dilution from a totally new investor or complete sale.

Nothing can happen until one of the three events occur.

And neither of those three events will occur until we unite as a fan base and push together to get one
 

Thanks mate

Kenwright is 20-something million right?

I would say more than that - his Everton shares are currently worth £14 million, and if the figure quoted is to be believed, if the club is sold eventually for £125-50 million then worth £25 - 30 million approximately. I can't remember offhand the profit figure for his production company, but that obviously has some value.
 
Well quite

Just want to make sure I have facts and figures straight before going off on one

It's called "journalistic integrity". Someone should make Brian Reade aware of what that is

Lets get this straight, you're writing AND you have 'Journalistic Integrity'...Degsy's tip of the day...don't give up your day job...or

Q) What do you call a Journalist with Integrity

A) Unemployed.
 

My worry with this whole situation is that everyone seems very angry and finally fed up of the board, but nothing much is being done about it. I've heard of no protests planned, no ideas of how to apply pressure.

Just lots of people on the internet running their mouth (myself included) We really need a plan which the majority get involved with.

Bill Kenwright Films made a profit of around £14million last time I looked, a couple of years ago, but this was almost exactly the amount the company recieved from UK Film Finance to produce a Michelle Pfieffer film, which eventually covered costs but no more. Bills stage stuff keeps him going, and his pension is his personal ownership of rights to Educating Rita and the film version of Stepping Out, I believe. His touring shows turn a profit, being usually budget versions of guaranteed international hits or pop nostalgia shows like the Buddy Holly or Billy Fury stories. Bills earlier ventures incidentally, were the crutch upon which Greggs refurbished theatres leaned upon for profit. Bill was very intrumental in and contributed greatly to Greggs success. He also recently spent a few 100 thousand trying to keep a theatre open in the South Midlands, but in the end it had to be closed from the last report I had. His new venture The Glenn Miller Story, base on the film and featuring his buddy Tommy Steele, is smashing it with advance bookings and should turn a profit. When Steele leaves, another verteran will take his place.
 
Who is currently tasked with promoting Everton to potential new owners?

Hmmmmmm.........been silent for a while hasn't it! I think Bill is still searching 24 x 7...........................not!

We clearly are not for sale and never will be until the new generation Doug Ellis decides to let go!
