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

Not arsed. Think commercialism and the money in the sport has killed it for me. They've created a league where you now need ridiculous amounts of money just to get midtable.

But I do think the history and what the club stands for can't be thrown away. It makes us who we are.

As for a club, we had our "oh look we've got money" moment and it almost killed us.

Getting some Sheik or anyone similar wouldn't be a game changer on the field (the system doesn't allow that now) but would just hopefully make us sustainable off it for the future.

Think that's all I care about now really. Everton still being a competitive club on and off the field down the line, that doesn't have to worry about not paying the bills.

I certainly wouldn't be celebrating like we'll be challenging City next year put it that way. It's just the way the sport has gone.
I would celebrate if they could make a really good board and system for the club to improve a commercial team just improvements like that. Stuff like that helps the club grow and bring money in. Like you say whover comes in cant just come in go crazy and bring in players,
 
Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. As such it’s fairly likely that members of the royal family are involved in their politics to a greater or lesser extent.

Obviously it needs to be seen *how* involved the individual is involved in the politics of the country - but as previously stated there is a massive difference between a wealthy Saudi citizen, and a member of the royal family.

We've been funded by a criminal oligarch with very close ties to Putin for years

If you haven't checked out at this point then it's hard to claim the moral high ground.
 

I’m done with Everton (and probably football as a whole) if we get bought by the Saudi state, or a consortium lead by them.

Some things are more important than football, and I wouldn’t be able to keep supporting the club without becoming a massive hypocrite who’s thrown away his morals, which is something I don’t want to be.
Where does your petrol come from?
 
If I was going to take my wumming into the Everton forum, I’d probably be more subtle and not post these 2 things back to back.

No need to be subtle, or anything else.

I really do love Everton.

Must really hurt to know we are not all the same :D

Yup. It’s pretty widely accepted that none of those oligarch types operated without say so from Putin.

I mean im not condoning human rights abuses in any way. It’s just that we can’t disconnect ourselves from the world. We buy products made in China, petrol and diesel from god knows where and the rest of it.

Just give me some competent owners please lol.
