Well we don't really know what the buyers are like. Perfect time for kenwright and co to sell up as the new TV deal next year is going to put extra millions into all clubs. Therefore it suggests the consortium see us as a good proposition and an opportunity to make money. Let's face it, as businessmen there is plenty of scope to revolutionise our commercial side which is a joke in comparable to other clubs of similar standing. The best question is can they deliver us a stadium to take the club onto the next level. If they do, I suggest they are in this 'project' for the long term as once again that will only raise the profile of the club and it's asking price. Looking at the wealth of moores, yes he does seem very wealthy but doubt he has the wealth, to fund the stadium itself, therefore it will be interesting what the contribution from the other investors will be.
I only hope that the 'investors' from this side of the atlantichave some know how of football and in particular Everton football club.

Moores can't and won't finance a stadium himself, think he will be looking for significant help in that regard either from the city or the rest of the "consortium". The baseball stadium he built was about 75% taxpayer money

Bear in mind what has been announced is just the first stage of the process.

Once they've done their due diligence, they will make an offer to the Board. Should the Board accept it the Board has to then put that offer to shareholders at a General Meeting.

In order to gain shareholder approval beyond the Board's recommendation to sell, the would be owners are going to have to show their plans for the club and how they would finance those plans. This will be the critical bit in my opinion as far as fan's acceptance goes.

Surely they could just by the boards holding to get a majoirty? Nothing to stop ordinary folk refusing to sell their shares at the price the board agree is there?

Some would see that as a massive opportunity mind. If revenues were being maximised, and we were still potless, then that would be a bigger problem.

Indeed. People often criticise that Kenwright and co. do not adequately manager such revenue streams putting us at a disadvantage.

Based on that rational, they must believe there are margins for improve such revenues. Surely that's attractive to investors? What we want to see?

I bet LCC can't wait to deal with these guys. lol
 

From the little bits I've read on both American rumours.

The Kansas City one sounded far more attractive.

So obviously we'll get the Mike Ashley sounding one.
