If they're doing due diligence now, surely they'll run a mile once they see the books.

Kenwrights lemo bill will defo put them off

 

[Brendan Janus]

have you seen them then?

And when the find out they will own Irene's Newsagents & The Goodison Supper Bar, both on Goodison Road !!

 

[orly]

no

Man Utd
Sunderland
Liverpool ( hicks and Gillet)
Vietnam
Villa

Er, ignore the debt mate, they've never been so successful as a business. Their revenues are unbelievable.

They've also won the league and the CL under Glazier stewardship

The accounts are on public record.

I doubt there'd be anything uncovered in the due diligence that would create an issue or isn't already known.

A Utd fan would say different but I do agree with you . The money they now bring in is frightening.

From the owner of Chang wikipedia page

"In late 2015 strong rumours emerged that Sirivadhanabhakdi was close to completing a takeover of English Premier League side Everton, a club which Chang Beer has been principle sponsors of since 2004. His favourite crisps are Space Raiders and he has a fit missus who he likes to STBOOIAP on a regular basis."

Seems legit to me

Not just disgruntled fans writing blogs but if you read up about these people and ask around there's seldom many who has a good word about them.

I agree with the need to twist than stick but @The Esk said it before I would be interested i their plans and to know if there's other feasible offers on the table like we've been led to believe.

They don't sound the best match and I wouldn't want to put Everton in long term jeopardy for short term boost. Even if we've got neither short term or long term boost now.

Let's not drop our knockers too easy, they're pulling up loads of flags.

So from reading about them both, they are clearly v shrewd business folks. Moores started Peregrine Systems, then BMC Software (I worked there for 6yrs), he finally got his wish and also purchased Remedy (Service Desk software).
Between him and Noelle, they run JMI - a vc company specialising in software company investments.
10yrs ago Moores net worth was $730m, although it is understood to have grown since then.
The fact they bought the Padres a new stadium and also sold them suggests they maybe looking at putting us in a better position with a view to selling us on again at a profit to themselves.

I'm a little freaked out as I was originally employed by Remedy, then moved over to BMC as part of the acquisition.

I have nothing but love for BMC as I met my wife there and had 6 fantastic years working there. BMC themselves were previously a publicly traded company that took themselves back to a privately held company, with annual revenues of $1.5b.

There's clearly money with these guys, I guess the 'concern' is that they're looking st this as a short term opp to turn us around and then sell for plenty more than they bought us for.

Pics?

Not a bad return for the board for not putting a penny into the club.

WOW

 

[MartSlinger]

so getting in 4th, being in a better league position, becoming worth more money, having a new stadium, but the owners take some money despite us becoming better.. isn't succesful?

how's that work?


also this is just one mad theory based on nothing really..

If anything we become an easier sell and if that happens ill be chuffed.

So you would be happy with owners who go the other way and claim personal ownership of property they haven't invested in (moores owns stadium, didn't pay for it), no investment hardly in the team (drop down league, for example newcastles model).

Or better yet, instead of owners refusing to sell to us, imagine having an owner who prices the club so high that no-one in the world would buy us? Over 15 years he added about 500 million dollars onto the price of his baseball team so the club can't be sold to anyone as the lack of progression and success on the pitch under him makes the club pointless.

the board right now are tits, but you would be happy with an owner who is buying us simply to pocket the extra tv money coming in rather than actually wanting to develop us?

what i am saying isnt speculating anything, this is literally what this fella has already done once, and profited a hell of a lot because of it at the expense of his team. I'm not saying it will happen to us, or that we are being bought for shady reasons, but considering the amount of money flowing into the club as of next year, it wouldn't be too far from the truth based on his previous record.

remember when them lot got a us owner and it all went tits up and nearly bankrupted them? not too far different a situation.

I don't mind owners taking a bit of money if the club is making enough money to sustain its self and investment is made into playing squad and other facilities.

But that is the point mate, his baseball team didnt see the money on the field. They were better run yes, but it wasn't for the teams benefit, it was for him. the only time they saw the benefit was when he first took over.

So yeah, i'm not saying this will happen to us, but its a possibility based on his track record. By all means if we benefited from it then its win win for both, if we did move up to rival the top 4 of the league then its a success, and the fella can run a business behind the scenes, but so can ashley, and you see first hand what that can do.
