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

[Eggs]

......sugar daddies are few and far between, I think we have to manage expectation. We currently have a hand to mouth existence dependent on a succession of good managers. What we need is investment and business savvy governance.

Is there anything positive to be found about these two?

Plenty mate.

If the club is sold, watch the old employees come out the woodwork with the stories what went on in the past.

Keith Wyness will be the first to spill the beans.

Plenty mate.

What?

 

[Chang Elephant]

anyone who take over us will be doing it purely as a business proposition, what we have to hope for is that the best way for them to make a sustainable profit is by making us successful on the field and off, if it happened and its not a leveraged buy out then for a start that is a huge sign it isn't going to be a asset strip

Question for the financial experts (Esk etc) ........the random internet loons (Doug etc) can join in:

How quickly do we know/can we see if this is a leveraged buy out - big jump in debt on next accounts ?

 

[KevMirallas]

What?

There's pretty much one blog post doing the rounds from a pissed off Padres fan that is scaring people. From what I can tell, most fans there and people in the community quite liked them as they built a pretty slick new stadium and took them to the World Series while being pretty decent for the majority of the tenure.

Honestly, I know nothing of them really. But from the minimal reading I've done since this news broke, it still ain't all bad. Not that anything is likely to happen from it anyway, but who knows. It's a massive risk regardless.

One thing which can't be denied is that Moores knows how to make money having bought the Padres baseball team off Werner for $80m and after building a new stadium, investing heavily and after winning 4 titles sold them for $800m.

I asked mate in San Diego should I be happy or sad at this possible development. He said we should run fast! Gulp.

Wyness has never spilt beans in his life mate, you dont get a body like his by spilling beans

.....his step father was called Red Moores.

 

[BoysInBlue]

What?

Grew every business he's ever owned, in multiple different types of business, and successfully built a new stadium at the first time of asking (as opposed to overseeing 3 failed stadium moves, tons of missed opportunities for investment, and managing years of losses and no money).

He'd be a massive upgrade on our current ownership. Knows how to run a business and is far richer.

I remember some Russians telling Chelsea fans that about Abramovich.

Moneyball on it's way to Goodison. Rejoice! After all, what is there possibly to complain about for fans of Villa, Man Utd and Liverpool?
