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

[steken1]

Those crying out for new ownership should maybe look into the news that broke for Cardiff City today. This is just the sort of thing we could be up against.

Or Man City?

I love the way no one ever mentions Chelsea, Man City, Reading, Arsenal, Sunderland, QPR when they talk of new ownership

Beat me to it.

I'd happily change our name to Liverpool Reserves and wear red if it meant getting £100m!

Key word in my post was could. We could be against that under new ownership. I'm aware of the success stories, and I use the word success loosely when it comes down to Reading, Arsenal, Sunderland and QPR.

Reading - Promotion and now new money coming in to aid their survival next season in the Premiership, also a newish ground with excellent revenue possibilities.

Arsenal - Generating excellent revenues through their stadium and living very comfortably in their means.

Sunderland - Maybe not successful, but always had a transfer spend

QPR - Tired old ground, but investment in the squad made and new ground plans on the horizon.


All made more progress than Everton off the pitch

You just can't find people with money anymore. People don't want to buy football clubs. Anyone who wants to take over a football club must be a Venky's type character

Your wasting your time Cena mate.

Those that know, dont need telling and those that dont know, are way too stupid to grasp it.

Save your fingers lad.

IMO, and this is nothing more than speculation, the main reason the club has not been sold is that Bill needs to achieve a minumum amount for his shares as does Green for the Earl shares he paid for.

This means a arbitrary value has been placed on the club that won't change regardless of performance. The reason Bill needs to raise that amount is to pay back the loan he took out to buy them.

I also believe the club has only been for sale since DK got the elbow. If a company like Tesco tell you they can get something passed I'd be inclined to believe them. Regardless of what it would have done to the club in the long term it would have helped our true majority shareholder as there was a new ground and whatever else was to come. That makes it easier to find a buyer at a higher price. Now it's about cutting losses to the bare minimum but we cant find someone who is willing to pay over the odds.

As I say that's my take on the situation based on a few things;

Paul Gregg has stated that he was paid for his shares by Phillip Green.

Phillip Geen and Robert Earl to a lesser degree are handling the sale through a third party.

Moyes has mentioned in the past that he had to go through Green for funds.

I had it on good authority, though not first hand, Wyness was paid off by Green and Earl when he left under a cloud halfway through Kirkbycon as he voiced serious concerns about certain laws being bent a bit too far.

There's not enough paper in the world mate. They emailed him his Corrie lines...

They've never said he's running the club into the ground, they've said he's not taking the club forward. Since kirkby fell through, the club is rudderless

All the signs are that once again the manager is going to be forced to operate on a ‘sell-to-buy-with-a-limited-percentage-of-the-proceeds’ strategy this summer, and whilst it isn’t beyond the realms of possibility that David Moyes will once again manage to turn wine from water and keep the club afloat

If that isn't a statement that BK is not running the club into the ground i don't know what is. 'Isnt beyond the realms of possibility that Moyes will keep the club afloat'.
