Still no news on exclusivity
Maybe it's nothing to be concerned about, but Moshiri's history of flip-flopping has me suspicious

Same. He’s a crank.
They don't have to announce exclusivity.
The I's and the T's are being crossed according to Bobble.
We just need to sit tight.

I very much doubt these two would be involved in running the club as was being suggested. They may be involved in the deal in someway, potentially through Keith Harris, but they certainly aren't fronting it with backing from two unknown billionaires.
Nevertheless, the point of the discussion was that the Vinci Group were somehow preferred over Friedkin despite there being next to no information about them in the public domain. The information that is available i.e. these two 'Directors' does nothing to prove their credentials.
I own my own company and have owned others, you can form it yourself online in about 5 minutes for £50. Anyone can do it. Who's to say these two aren't a pair of loons trying to buy the club with a fake bank statement?

Too many people are handing a free pass to this lot without knowing what their plans are. They're desperate not to see us go into administration and are prepared to see us become a relatively insignificant pawn in some yank's empire to avoid it.

When did he say this mate?
No news is probably good news. If they had pulled out of the bid or Moshiri refused them we’d have heard about it by now I’m sure. The early reports did say Friedkin wouldn’t be rushed into it and would do things on his own timescale.

We've had interest from Saudi's and other billionaires and the only reason we haven't gone with them is because Moshiri wants what's best for him and not the club.
777’s “period of exclusivity” was because they were bluffers stalling for time. There’s no reason why these owners have to have a prolonged period of exclusivity. Why do people think that a takeover has to follow the exact same step by step process as the 777 farce.

Yes you’ve got that straight, except the billionaires are being introduced to Everton and they will take over and run the business.So let me get this straight, you'd prefer these guys over Friedkin?
One lives in a 4 bedroom house in a suburban street in Basingstoke with a questionable history of company involvement/ ownership. Whilst the other has next to no background to speak of at all apart from a stake in his birds skin care business and his own sports finance business, both of which were formed last year and have overdue confirmation statements.
You believe these two blokes are backed by two high net worth individuals who are willing to give them £1billion in cash to buy and run Everton?
You find it very easy to believe the background of the two chaps, I don’t know where they live or what businesses they run but gangsters live in huge mansions and so did Phillip Green who also had a huge yacht, it’s not where you live but how you live.
Correct. If they have proof of funds, they are reputable and there’s no obvious red flags it should go through a lot quicker.

Whilst that's undoubtedly true, the caveat here is that if newspaper reports are to be believed (and take them with as much salt as you like), the Friedkin offer is the only one where debts are being cleared rather than external finance being used to restructure them - so technically, it looks on the face of it as the best financial offer for the club as well
That will all come out in the wash like, I'd expect Friedkin might be refinancing some of the debt as low-ish interest shareholder loans himself
Honestly our fans are far too deep inside their own heads at times.
