I think its a case of heart ruling the head were he's concerned,I personally think that there has been at least tentative enquiries about the sale of the club but Bill has been waiting for a wealthy version of himself

They wouldn't become a majority shareholder, in much the same way that Kenwright isn't a majority shareholder.
You'd need 17,501 shares to be a majority shareholder
Approximately half of the shares not owned by the directors (circa 15%) are owned by the estate of Sir Phillip Carter, Arthur Abercromby, Lord Grantchester and I think one other person. The rest are held in relatively modest numbers by over 1000 people, so in my opinion it would be nigh on impossible to co-ordinate for starters.
Interestingly, the majority of BK's shares (over 7k) are held via a limited company. I seem to remember reading on the old Everton Shareholders Association that part of his holding was in his own name and part by some other guise which I think was a pension of sorts.
If I'm wrong, I apologise, but can't find the info on the Shareholders Association website now.

Cheers mate.
Would they be able to at least have the "significant interest" tag added if they were unified and represented by an individual.
Do you know how board members are elected etc??

In your humble opinion small sos. But not allowing Gregg to clinch the Kings Dock, trying to maroon the club in a shed in Kirkby, and knocking back seriously wealthy investors such as Qatar Investment Authority are not the actions of a genuine Blue.
The significant intetest tag is 10% which is laid down by Premier League rules. As mentioned in my earlier post, the problem is getting 1000+ people to act together.
With regard to directors, the Directors can appoint a director who has to retire at the following AGM, by simple majority.
There is nothing to suggest that directors have to retire and be re-elected, so on the face of it, if you have the support of over 50% of the shareholders, your there for as long as you have their support.
PS. Philip Carter, Lord Grantchester and Arthur Abercromby own about 15% between them, there wasn't another person.

All of which is either conjecture or subjective opinion and nothing to do with the simple fact that he's patently a blue.
Given the context of the comment in amongst the rumours about his health, I find it repulsive that you stil feel the need to continue with your seemingly never ending character assassination, and using it as yet another opportunity to ply your boring, tedious and one eyed agenda , but completely in character as far as you're concerned. Vile.

But when he took charge we took huge strides forwards again.

All three are factual and point to the fact that he's not a genuine Blue. It's got to be more repulsive that you're deliberately using speculation about Bill's health on a public forum, and drawing that into unrelated debate about his performance as Everton chairman ?
As far as I'm concerned, "Vile" = capitalising on others misfortune by buying repossessions for profit. I can see why you like the board though , they bought a distressed asset cheaply and have just sat on it awaiting a profit......very similar behaviour.

Maybe from a team performance perspective, but there was more than one period in which the bank came knocking on the door. Assets had to be sold to keep the club above water each season, Moyes went two and a half seasons without signing a first team player. Its all easily forgotten now that the bumper TV deals are kicking in. We have also had a few opportunities to try and progress beyond mid-table, but they were wasted due to us being the only Premier League club to not have a penny's worth of investment in over 15 years.

True, but before Kenwright became the boss, we flirted with relegation alarmingly often.. since he became the boss we never came close.
Financially we are still abysmal in terms of shirt sales etc.. but since when was progress defined by whether we own an average training facility compared to renting a world class one?
The amount of awards won for our catering, user experience etc and the quality of our team indicates we are still moving in the right direction, and whilst Bill doesn't have the money to progress us.. the board do, hence my comment earlier about the board.
If we went for it financially using what was within Bills control... i.e increased loans, when we had a chance to push on for Europe but then failed to progress in that competition, we would likely of been forced into a firesale, and look how much money we would of lost out on by not being in the Premiership now.
Increasing our income is essential but its not like we couldn't of just sold a player to appease the banks, Kenwright did everything he could to back Moyes as much as possible within his control, and he succeeded in that.
What he failed on is selling the club, getting a new ground, being rich and convincing the rich board owners to actually spend some money, but we still progressed despite this.

The catering at other stadiums must be exceptionally bad....
Premier League clubs to top NFL TV earnings by 2017

thats just mind numbing. The TV deal pays for almost literally every aspect of an NFL teams playing squad because of the salary cap.

The bubble and that's what's it's become, will burst and many including us are going to be left on our backsides.
PL by any standards of years gone by is becoming far less entertaining. I believe it's killing itself if I'm honest.

We have progressed for sure, maybe not as fast as we wanted, but on thing we always have to keep in mind, is in the time that Kenwright has been in charge so many clubs have gone backwards. Apart from Man City, who have lost there soul and tradition, the list of people who have gone in at clubs and its all gone down hill for them is something we have to be glad we avoided.
Randy Lerner might of handed loads over to spend, which would of been nice, but aside from him we could of ended up in the place that Leeds United are in right now.
