If this Armenians got the dough he says he has.....

This Manoukian guy might be good as he is a lawyer, so we will essentially have our own, in house, legal team for all our FFP hearings. Save us some money by not hiring Silk.

Yep that worked fabulously with Moshiri as our in house accountant

Got a mate who’s well connected in the Saudi oil industry and he just sent me the following;

It could rival the poznan

@GrandOldTeam who do you want?

Heads falling off all over the gaff!

Actually, perhaps not the best turn of phase in the circumstances

Everybody change their vote to Manky this instant.

So Vatche Manoukian is the nephew of Vatche 'Bob' Manoukian...

Where did Vatche (not Bob) start his career...

Saudis? I've only been gone a few hours, this is mad.

I started off thinking that Bell and Downing would be ideal.

I'm far less sure now especially if Esk is involved.

Now I genuinely haven't got a Scooby who I'd prefer.

Clearly we need to know a lot more about each of the offers and their plans for Everton before we can make an informed judgement.
