The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

[Chang Elephant]

Oh FFS what is it with these 'supporter groups' and their extreme stupidity. Would be nice that there'd be some credible actions taken. So now Kenwright is painted as a slightly deranged person in private atleast. But I don't see how that'd force his hand, and now the possible discussion route seems to be closed. Well done lids, well done. *

*) Alledgedly

It's always best to get a real handle of the calibre of the person you're dealing with. That interview did that.

After reading the BK ramblings, what would be the point, other than for the psychiatric profession, of reading further dialogue ?

Interpretation though...

You say its people not meeting the asking price....I see it as -

And Everton? "Ah," says Harris, with a sigh. "There the would-be buyers, both of them British, turned out to be very flaky. When they had to show up with the money, they disappeared. They led everybody a merry dance."

Yes. And then there was the other parties that Harris subsequently mentioned in his Radio City interview where he talked of three interested parties and compared the asking price to Blackburn Rover's asking price.

Yes. A merry dance like you try and lead people on.

Not meeting the asking price.....or seeing us as -

Keith Harris, the merchant banker who has orchestrated the takeovers of five Premier League clubs, said yesterday that he is making "no progress at all" with finding a buyer for Everton, because the club are not an attractive enough financial investment. The Everton chairman, Bill Kenwright, has instructed Harris to find new investors after admitting that the club cannot keep borrowing and with a planned new stadium at Kirkby yet to be financed.

Harris explained that buyers of a club would expect to make money because its value should increase by 5% to 10% every year, without them having to spend cash investing in facilities or funding transfers "unless they choose to". Everton, however, does not offer that prospect of profit, he said.

"The demographics of Liverpool as a city are not hugely compelling," explained Harris, chairman of the merchant bank, Seymour Pierce. "It is not a very wealthy city. Everton share the city with another club which arguably has been in the vanguard for the last decade, and they both have a stadium to build. So the economics need a lot of looking at."

So they bascilly made up a load of Jarg in that transcript.

Reversing going on here all over the show.

I know all this has sparked a debate lads, but if the majority of this is jarg or as others would call it "from memory" i wouldnt be getting hot and bothered.

The Blue Union have big time gone to ground.

Youre quoting stuff from 2008/09. I'm quoting a radio interview from April 2011.

I hope those lads videoed the interview. I've never seen a celebrity Evertonian in a strait jacket before.

What's changed?

3 years ...nowhere near near being sold

And if Harris has given a figure for how much the club is going for...doesn't that limited the buyers and effect shares?

It's up

That is absolutely fascinating and devastating in equal measure. I'm actually glad Kenwright has said that, but it's a crying shame it hasn't been made public before all due to the desire to milk early season ticket sales.

I think alot of Evertonians would understand the situation and embrace our underdog status if the board were simply honest with us.

No. If you put your house on the market does that automatically make your asking price go down?

Market fluctuations do that. Or make it climb. And Harris was comparing Everton to Blackburn in the same breath. Saying it obviously has a higher asking price.

It does. Just not as high as the board think it is.

Your ****ing loving this arnt you .

This is great to read, but sad to see.

If that makes sense.

Possible investors from Abu Dhabi though!

No mate. It hasn't been refuted it's been challenged as an underhand tactic (if indeed it was taped).

I know all this is difficult for you like. It cant be nice to see your icon come crashing down and that...

I think the battle ship has been sunk since yesterday mate, apparently some or possibly all of it is Jarg pending a possible legal action.

It would be a pity if this was a nail in the coffin for what could have been something i suppose positive to a degree - what were they thinking!
