The Everton Board Thread

[MichaelEFC96]

Living through Moshiri’s dreadful ownership, I wouldn’t trust him to sell us to the right people. I’m not convinced with the 777 group. New stadium aside, it’s been an unmitigated disaster.

Just hope it doesn’t get worse

They aren’t vultures, they’re something Moshiri and co aren’t, business savvy. They look at every area of the clubs/businesses they have under their umbrella and look at how to improve it to generate more income

Look at how weak, for example, our sponsorship and kit deals have been over the last decade or more compared to most of the league, we don’t even run our own retail operations because of the Fanatics partnership

Name me one football club that 777 or MSP have bought into that they have transformed into winners ?

There isn't one. People just see a group of Yanks who have stakes in a few clubs and come to the automatic conclusion that they're top dogs which is naive.

We need top brass investors with mass amounts of money backing them on top of being business savvy.

These cowboys just want to flip us for a few quid down the line they don't want a legacy like Abramovich or Shiekh Mansour have created at Chelsea/Citeh.

Let's ask the important questions, what's their position on being put in headlocks? For or against?

Obviously I'm not in charge of investment management with hundreds of millions, which is why I'm posting on here at midday on a Thursday, but I could see the logic in investing in traditional football teams that you identify as being horribly run, stabilising and pointing them in the right direction and then flipping them for a profit as the sport continues to grow. At the moment I'd take that.

They do seem to have good people on board BUT if they are only acquiring say 20% how much say will those people have? If Moshiri comes into the room yelling “ANWAR EL GHAZI” can they stop him?

There’s also a serious question mark against anyone that would be willing to co-invest in any business run by Moshiri and his shady associates. I don’t want investors who are willing to simply turn a blind eye.

I don’t know what percentage of the club either are set to buy.

The supposed story was MSP, wanted to insert 3 persons onto the board which included Moorad, Hwang and Taylor, which Moshiri wasn’t happy with (Don’t know if that’s cause he wanted to sell more, wanted less MSP involvement etc).

So what you’re saying is these “Cowboys”, want to come in, make us profitable and then sell us for a tidy return.

In what instance can that be bad for Everton? Success and Profit go hand in hand.

Some people are taking some bizarre positions on this takeover/investment.

The club has never been in a more perilous position. Fans are divided, the board are inept and universally despised, the squad woeful, our reputation is being tarnished daily, oh, and we're 2 bad results away from potential administration.

This has all happened under the stewardship of Moshiri, Kenrwright and DBB. They are all parasites who have driven our club to the brink. Are 777/MSP the owners we'd all love? No. But the idea that they could be in any way more incompetent than the current clowns is laughable.

I do agree with the sentiment but then in fairness to the people panicking i'm pretty sure people would have said the same about Moshiri coming in, and about Kenwright taking over from Johnson etc etc. Forget the cliche, things can always get worse. And when you're Everton, they usually do.

This is the thing, its very possible to go form one bad owner to another or a worse one.

 

[liamefc91]

Any new owner can get the fans on side in one simple step.. launch the board into the mersey

 

[Blue gnu]

whoever treats kenwright with the least respect

Exactly.
Whoever boots Kenwright and co the furthest is fine with me!!

Let's all moan about the board then when potential investors come to the table moan about them aswell.


Blues are tiresome .

 

[Toffeeslam]

Not sure about these 777 folk yet if it is true but if it clears the board then that’s a positive.

The success trend with American buyers is not very good so it’s a little concerning it’s a full buyout

I don't think that's contradictory in itself though is it? Obviously the sensible approach is not to proclaim it as a good or bad thing until we've got a bit more to go on, people saying it's great are just as bad as people saying it's not.

That's fair, but my point is the club is 2 bad results away from huge financial difficulty and potentially administration - it's existential. I don't know how much worse it can get right now.
