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

[DanB90]

Ratcliffe wasnt weeks.

It took 2 years and 1 month for him to complete the deal.

WHY WOULD YOU TELL HIM THIS??

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Feels like this right now...

Cakes?

 

[BNJ1878]

ok so we know all these have the funds

unlike 777

so why does it have to take ages to be passed

when radcliffe was in weeks?

I'm sure you're on the wind up with this machine gun style if questioning.

Radcliffe wasn't a takeover.

He's taken a minority stake in a publicly listed company.

Besides which, he's the head of a multi-billion pounds chemical engineering company (amongst other things) The source and scale of his wealth is plain to see.

Besides, it isn't as though his involvement was rushed through, it took that Glazers over a year to decide between his minority offer and Shk Jassim full takeover.

The ball is in Moshiris court. Once he identifies his preferred bid they'll have a period of exclusivity to examine the full state of the business before attempting to complete any deal.

We'll do well to have new owners confirmed and installed by Halloween. Genuinely.

So calm down.

In August 2022, Ratcliffe expressed interest in buying the Premier League club Manchester United,[40] a team he has supported since childhood.[41] The following January, INEOS announced publicly that it had entered into the formal process of bidding for Manchester United, after the current owners announced it was looking for new investors.[42][43] On 24 December 2023, Manchester United announced that Ratcliffe had acquired a 25 percent stake in the club, marking a significant development, as INEOS Sport assumed control over football operations.[44] The purchase was completed in February 2024

We are a completely different kettle of fish to Ratcliffe/INEOS. They were dealing with the Glaziers for one.

We simply have a single 94% majority owner who wants shut of us.

I know mate, I just wanted to take Mattys head off.

But this wont be done in weeks, thats for damn sure.

 

[BNJ1878]

Id prefer MSP over everyone mate.

They at least have a whiff of professionalism about them.

It would be quite the novelty around Everton.

And also, theres a very good reason that The Premier League is the "biggest" league in the world.

The PL sell the rights to China, The Middle East and probably North Korea, so if you truly wanted to take a moral stance you really should have NOTHING to do with modern football cos its truly repulsive.

The PL would sponsor Isis if there was a decent return from it

How we do know they dont already?

 

[rochdaleblue]

For those who have any knowledge in these matters, which of the runners and riders who are bidding to buy us, gives us the best chance of stabilising the club initially and then moving us forward.
In saying that I have zero confidence in Moshiri choosing the right one, after all he was the only person who saw something in the 777 bid.

 

[DanB90]

Offseason Matty is just as bananas as relegation thread Matty.

The X-assits league would have a whole different take wouldn't it

I love all versions of matty

They will get us ship shape.

He’s the best of us.

The Vatche bid looks best to me at this point.

Manoukian and his consortium have proposed an all-equity offer which would not take on additional debt and would aim to create a sustainable, long-term strategy.

They see Everton as a "sleeping giant" of English football with potential to secure a place "at the top of world football again" through the new stadium being built on Bramley-Moore Dock.
