The Everton Board Thread

[Groucho]

I'm sure the moderators would frown upon such behaviour if you reported the constant fingering of every post you make by the Dalai Of Ditton.
@Groucho would almost certainly be annoyed having told folk to stop being titheads

Hello mate.

Yes. That would cheese me off. Pray tell, what’s the issue?

 

[Groucho]

Should you report a poster if you think they are doing that?
Asking for a friend.
Board oot.

Yes

George Downing is a Crosby-born property tycoon, a hugely successful businessman.Andy Bell is a Liverpool-born hugely successful investment pioneer whose firm now manages £42bn of assets for 172000 customers.Both huge Evertonians as well. Competent people, more so than BK & DBB

Andy Bell you say, well he deserves a little respect.

Ooh sometimes. No actually he deserves it always.

I suggested this a few months back. Could be a possibility. Let's see how it pans out. Interesting developments, for sure.

Isn’t the stadium and land not owned by Everton under the Everton stadium thingy

I don’t think Blue sky holding(whatever it’s called) owned it

Sorry brain not working lol

 

[MrGrumpy]

Could also be that the sale is for the club, not the stadium, given Moshiri owns other properties (Pier Head etc). We’re all hoping we end up owning our own stadium but who knows what the barking mad walnut is going to do?

Moshiri isn’t selling anything, if what the Esk is saying is true then as an example Moshiri owns 97% and 13k shares MSP are going to be issued 14k shares meaning they own more then 50.1% if the club but Moshiri still has his 13k shares but down to 48.1%

* all figures are for example

The funds are being used to finish the stadium.

New board will be commercial in nature. The Club has not been run well commercially. The investors are not sentimental. This is a business deal and the goal is to make a profit for investors.

Good about time we stopped being run like a sentimental tribute to a once great institution,and started acting like a modern day Premier league club.

A bit worrying that they picked the wrong type of business for that...

Not when the club is sold for a profit in 5-7 years.

So they're not coming in to be successful on the pitch, only in their pocketbook?

Lovely.

I would argue they go hand in hand for us.

One doesn't happen without progress on the other.

Moshiri came in under the same auspices and failed...not going along with that line of reasoning again.

Creating a more modern and commercially focused board which is soul purpose is to make us more attractive to investors to provide more revenue to make the squad stronger SHOULD HAVE BE DONE FROM DAY ONE Moshiri but he thought he could use is cash as a cheat sheet to buy Top 4.
