The Everton Board Thread 2015/16 [ Not takeover related ]

[SerenityNigh]

@Steve Wigan whilst I understand your position regarding Robert Earl, surely that can only be explained by a binding agreement between the 3 largest shareholders that they all sell at the same time for the same price?
If that is not the case, then someone could have bought RE's shares for a price that suits him, gone through the fit and proper person test for owners, and negotiated a price with the remaining shareholders.

How many people want to buy a minority position, and would RE sell early for a reduced price if he's expecting a full buyout?

No different than in most Board rooms mate lol

To be honest, I was making the case for "the Triumverate" having a deal amongst themselves about timing of share sales andd terms.
Didn't mention RE selling at a discount, in fact given his lack of connection with the club was trying to put forward the notion that RE could sell at a price different (higher or lower) than the remaining shareholders at any time if he wanted out and there were no agreement in place with JW and BK.
In fact, RE possibly needn't sell the shares but the offshore company that holds them if it is merely an asset holding vehicle.
BK could do the same with the majority of "his" shares which are held in Bill Kenwright 1878 Ltd, a UK company, just sell the company as ir's a pretty clean asset holding vehicle per it's last account.
Don't know how JW holding is structured,

Got a random message saying we are possibly being taken over by a Saudi consortium. Deal 2 thirds done due diligence passed . IF complete will be finalised by 28th Feb .

I'll believe it when I see it but thought I'd post it anyway .

In that case we should partition the govt for a national day of celebration on Feb 28th.

So, the plane's on again, is it?

Do we all hold hands & bow for the flyover, or wha' like?

How are the half season tickets sales going?

If we can't find investment, whilst we have this current playing squad, that possibly only needs a few adjustments to really be a force then I'm baffled, these assets won't stay here for ever, then what another 15 years of mediocrity.

A few good players is hardly a deal breaker


Goodison is outdated and the land worth buttons . The corporate facility's being none existent . It's also land locked and not in a great area to rebuild .

We don't even own the the club shop

We don't own finch farm

All this holds us back

All that doesn't help of course, just looking at it from the playing assets, if push came to shove there's a tidy profit to be made, against any potential investment, should a prospective buyer be put off by the redevelopment/new ground scenario.

In an ideal world, we the fans don't want that. Just trying to think of it if I was a businessman.

Which I suppose brings us full circle as to Who would be the best sort of buyer for Everton.

Robert Elstone : you're a director of one of the most famous clubs in England. You're a publicity seeking American. The last mention of Everton in your Twitter feed is January ; and it wasn't even by you. You're the worst money grabbing capitalist imaginable. You have no interest or comprehension of what the Club means to hundreds of thousands of supporters. Why don't you just bugger off ?
Thank you hot toddies and goodnight.

I hope this "Thanks, Bill" plane gets grounded.

Crystal Palace have just got a 100 million investment.

Being left behind by this shower of a board.

Clueless is too good a description for them.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Anyone else hear this on Talksport this morning:

Did anyone elses ears prick up when he was talking on Talksport this morning about Crystal Palace and said he has been told another 'top team' was due to be taken over in January by Americans but he didn't want to say who it was as he had been told in confidence.....probably a load of [Poor language removed] but could it be us?

I thought nobody was buying football clubs at the moment?
