Who's your money on in the takeover 'battle'?

[kenada_blue]

All in all...I wouldn't trust Moshiri to pick a chippy tea never mind new owners

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Well
A. We know who we are dealing with
B. They will restructure the debt using funds from Dell family office.

That's more clarity and certainly than the other bids

That's no more clarity than knowing
A. Manoukian is involved and

B. He will pay off the debt with 400 million

Well, the point was in response to @BNJ1878 saying Bell and Downing had briefed their plan.

If they did, then at best, they briefed it poorly or it was an intentional over-egg.

... as for vote, you can change it as/when facts emerge.

I've already changed mine.

Think the Athletic article from Matt Slater came before the Joyce one? That just said MSD and Zeus Capital.

REM? that's him in the corner






I'll get my coat

If we get good owners then we'll all be Shiny Happy People













I'll grab my coat too

He's going to pick whomever gives him the most money

That's all his motivation will be

I'm confused sorry mate, so will just interrupt here.

Clearly someone isn't going to buy the club, without a plan for the debt. They'll need to demonstrate that to become owners, anyway.

Let's keep it as simple as we can.

Manoukian's bid is an all equity one.

The others' bid will borrow and put that extra debt on the club/the stadium.

I'm sure all will restructure debt, but if you're talking worry - Manoukian not making that debt even bigger should ease it considerably.

What do you understand by "an all equity bid "?

If it is simply that they won't have to borrow the purchase price then who gets what of their "all equity bid "?

If Moshiri wants let's say £400 million plus the buyer has to fund the remaining stadium build and pay the debt off that's a terrible deal for Everton but a great deal for Moshiri

That's no more clarity than knowing
A. Manoukian is involved and

B. He will pay off the debt with 400 million

But how do you know the £400 million is to pay the debt off as opposed to being the amount that Moshiri wants for his shares?

Apologies if someone has already posted this, but it’s quite interesting. The guy could be a complete wum or totally legitimate. Long read if you’re interested.

you lost me there lad.

As is his entitlement.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I'm not voting because;

1 - I haven't got a clue

and

2 - I have no idea who would be the best option

I'll leave all that stuff to better informed folk than I, and instead focus on posting dank MEME's until I get told off for it

Do you know the identity of all the Manoukian consortium?

Because if Moshiri wants 400 million for his shares that completely takes Bell and Downing out the running. The rumoured amount is 400 million for the debt and 25 million to Mosh

We should make a Pit and get all the prospective buyers to enter and they can fight to win control of the club.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

As is his entitlement.

Morally you'd hope that he would priorities selling us to people who will be good custodians for the club going forward, even if it means him making a little bit less than he would make otherwise, especially after his frankly horrendous performance as owner

He's shown himself to have little to no morality though, so it is what it is

Anyone got Tina Turner's number?
