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

[Chang Elephant]

Like Leeds once Bates got control, you could never tell who owned the club and he sold to like minded fraudsters

That would be fine. But these are not the investors for that. They're after clubs with (relatively) low debt to leverage onto. If you think this is dislike because of 'oh businessmen', not at all. But Swansea have knocked this lot back already. Ask why. They could have really used an injection of funds to push them up the table too.

Swansea didn't knock them back, they knocked Swansea back. You're not gonna grow Swansea, they're the size they'll always be & they already have a new-ish stadium.

He has a track record of building a new stadium to grow a business. Which is exactly what we need.

I see the if it goes wrong it's all The Boards fault are out in force. I'll be in Top Balcony , CL in 3 years, or league 1, might be a bit draughtier, liver notwithstanding

Right everyone please pipe down for a minute!!!

Let's not get too excited about this before we know the answer to the most important question. Because if not then we could be getting our hopes up for no reason!























...















Are they going to be building a monorail?

No one has said 'be careful what you wish for.. ' yet.

Standards are slipping.

just waiting for esk's opinion of the financial matters....although we don't know the whole story yet

The thing that should interest us is their business plan to develop the club and the business - what they pay shareholders is irrelevant to all but shareholders - it's what they do with the club after acquiring it that's important.

Doubt there will be any detail of this whilst due diligence takes place (assuming press reports are accurate).

That sounds like us now! Earl is 2nd largest shareholder with nearly 25% of the club, yet has zero interest in us. So why is he involved? Vibrac? Green??

We're not exactly the most transparent model of business.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

lol at those already calling the prospective new owners without hardly even knowing who they are ffs!

At least it'll give you a reason to carry on with the Bill hate for another decade at least if they turn out to be wrong 'uns eh........dem yanks

Qatar Investment Authority.....Mansour........Ambani........dodgy yanks

Nearly 80% of people who voted in this poll wanted a change in the board, presumably any change or they'd have gone down the "Can't decide" route ?

To be fair, I know nothing about these people so can't judge if they're better, or worse, than the present lot. Might never happen anyway, time will tell.

People on various forums had reported key dates in Feb for a few weeks now so it fits.

they'll have to front much more to build everton a stadium I reckon. can't see the city of Liverpool giving them 75% of the stadium cost in tax money

I reckon the mayor will gladly stump up 75% if there is a monorail in the plans.
