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

[Brendan Janus]

I'm sure whoever buys us won't ever be good enough for us for some on here.

The last buyer didn't want Irene's newsagents on Goodison Road, but it comes as part of the club, as does the Goodison Supper Bar, so Bungling Bill pulled the plug !!

 

[Bluesnapper]

Yes, you're one of the people I expect will never be happy.

Without foundation....

Oh righ and they both effect how the clubs run how?

didn't Arsenal have something in place like that if shares went up for sale the current members got first tibs on them ?.

I don't know the details at Arsenal but that type of arrangement is not uncommon.

 

[hibbo'sclass]

It would if they're not his shares. It has been speculated on in the past.

Speculated being the operative word.
The beneficial ownership is stated in the accounts prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and duly audited.
Note the phrase beneficial ownership as this is who ultimately owns them.
In fact at least 5/6ths of "BK's" shares are held by Bill Kenwright 1878 Ltd.

And?

No, the buyer felt they had no retail value, & were costing the club thousands each year, don't forget, they take nothing six days a week, kept on the balance sheet for sentimental reasons, but they had negative equity !

just something i read about when that Russian fella was trying to get control of them, cant recall all the details.

So any serious buyer would complete the acquisition, and then attempt to sell off any unwanted assets, or if not able to do so just close them down. No-one who is serious would walk away for that reason.

This guy who's been mentioned. A poor kid who made his own path into his riches. Level headed, smart, and not afraid to spend money if it's for the right cause.

So these awful businessmen didn't want to drain the business of unnecessary expenditure..

How bloody awful of these awful businessmen.

That's total speculation, and if proved correct has serious consequences for many parties as you well know. The PL are satisfied as to the ownership as I am sure the auditors are.

The PL are a joke who would have turned a blind eye to whichever people owned Leeds from offshore if HM Govnt hadn't put a bomb up their arses.

Everton's shareownership: I'd put that in with Lord Lucan and Shergar as one of the great mysteries of our time, tbh. I wouldn't rule anything out.

But you are closing down peoples livelihoods, the memorandum & articles won't let that happen, Bill had it written in to them ! You can't do it, it's like the constitution if you like !

Whilst I share some of your thoughts re the PL, I can't believe Deloitte would be so lax as to allow a criminal act of such magnitude to occur under their watch.

Stop trying to live up to the banner under your name.
