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

[davek]

1. Plant bomb in Goodison
2. Wait for board meeting
3. Detonate bomb
4. Get new owner and board
5. Build new stadium where old once stood
6. ????????
7. Profit

That wont happen mate. Nothing ever good like that happens to us.

 

[Ihaters]

Kenwright seems to think so after zero investment.

The bigger picture is buying for a good price and hoping to make it a success, just like any business.

You dont buy something for £20 and sell for £10.

Ask youself why, after 10 years of him supposidly saying his shares have been up for grabs, and the years proceeding that looking for a buyer, that there is NO ONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD that is A) good enough to buy us or B) legitimate to buy us C) think we're a good enough asset to buy in a BILLION POUND sports industry.

This is not down to your Arabs or Russians being dodgy, this is down to your genuine businessmen looking at us and saying "nah". You can talk about the ground, the RS shadow, etc etc as Citeh, Forest, Reading etc all get bought out, but the bottom line has to be the price.

If Forest is worthwhile putting x amount of funds into to get x out of it for a lower tier club. Putting x amount to buy Everton who is a part of a global billion pound machine watched by millions, is surely a good proposition to look at getting x amount out of it.

That is, of course, if the asking price is too high in relation to its return.

I agree the asking price is probably too high.. but.. in a billion pound sports industry as you put it, with all those options, why would you take a club in debt, with an old stadium, losing money, no assets except the team and in need of huge investment to improve on its current finishing position and financial intake?
Why take a club where if you only spent 50mil on buying the club, let alone what is being asked, then add 100mil on a new stadium and 100mil on a team capable of a POSSIBLE 4th spot... where failing to get that 4th would probably see you gain 5 or 10mil, that's providing you gave the money to the club as loans, instead of the bank loaning it in which case read that as losing 5 or 10 mil. Either way its a long, long time before you get your money back. In fact you'd probably earn more from leaving your money in the bank acruing interest.
Chuck far less money at Forrest and your set to make a big profit within a few years.. i.e as soon as you get promoted.
From a business sense its a no brainer imo. But I do agree, our asking price is clearly too high, I do however honestly believe there are a lot of other factors (of the boards doing) that make us a very difficult team to sell.

Very true

Go back 150 pages and I've probably said this before but

A buyer with the kind of money to push us to the next level will not be looking for a club that costs £15m

Kick off on talksport this morning apparently. Reporter Tony Evans saying Everton are in more trouble than people think and that Blue Bill is holding the club back, but people are scared to say it...

Anyone hear it or am I blowing smoke?

Can you listen to thier shows on repeat? I'd love to finally hear someone question the messiah publicly.

I bet the sycophants didn't know what to say.

How long can the owners go on doing nothing other than picking the bones from the loan mkt, clubs gone bust, not putting a penny into the club, the ground and finally still asking for 150m.

Nobody wants another 5 more years of this.

Evans is a dirty kopite [Poor language removed] so I'd rather someone else pointed it out rather than that one eyed [Poor language removed] gloating over our predicament. We finished about them bellends so he wants to look closer to home first.

 

[Pblueman]

Definately about time some one said it publically

I don't want another five months of it. Were stuck with it for a while I reckon.

Until a few board members pop their clogs probably.

I heard it, mixed in both facts and bolloxs and loved it.
said we were so badly run that we outsourced our catering....WTF! (yeah we use sodexo but dont spunk 35 million on Mandy Carroll)
pointed out the FF rental deal and said we had mortgaged years worth of season tickets - only the new TV deal would keep us afloat.
He did mention that BK had "an emotional attachment" which made it difficult to sell.

It was gloating more than anything.
He also said that several deals to sell the club had definately fallen through at the last minute.

Give him a lifetime season ticket and a cleaning job as part of the deal.

Should keep him happy.
