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

[tommytowne]

Hi mate ! Sorry for the delay.
My Italian mate is pessimistic because he thinks they will be more likely to go for a bit of a quick fix trying to get a few names in using a scattergun approach rather than building the club up trying to build a young vibrant team which my mate wants us to do. He suspects it will be quick buzz but not have strong foundations so will fizzle out and we’ll be back to square one. In fairness he’s not making it as a firm prediction, just a strong suspicion.

Tell your mate that myself and I suspect a good few others would settle for a quick fix right now.
Guaranteeing us leaving GP and seeing us into BMD whilst still a Premier League club would count as a success story.

Lots of rumours that Jarrad is in Manchester today. I'm hoping he turns them down and aims higher next summer.

Can go where he wants, doesn't matter if they don't meet our valuation

 

[allezlesbleus]

I know!! I was thinking that as I wrote my mate’s opinion down!!!!

I really hope that this is the case.

The dude gets some extra £££ in his pocket and now has Everton with a brand new stadium as his 'premier' club.

He might tell us we're his premier club but secretly prefers Roma.

Some of our fans will see a negative out of every situation.

Think it’s a case of once bitten, twice shy.
Or whatever the evertonian equivalent is.

Also probably coping mechanism. Expect the worst, and you’ll never be disappointed.

This is me.

So that when the worst DOESNT happen and something good DOES, I get a double boost of endys.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Surprised by the amount of negativity in here tbh. Suppose it's been drilled into us though in all fairness.

Guess a few different options have been dangled and people will have had different favourites, but compared to how things were looking over the last few months this is dreamland stuff really. A month ago we were discussing whether the club would be best taking the 9 points for administration before the season ended.

This is me.

But so far that when the worst DOESNT happen and something good DOES, I get a double boost of endys.

I remember convincing myself when Benitez joined, that it would be an absolute disaster and anything else would be a bonus. But it still turned out worse than I ever could have imagined.

So there’s always that.

Agreed, its not unicorns and rainbows yet, but the mushroom clouds have disappeared in my view of the future.

Everton wise, we are still very much getting nuked very soon in the real world.

 

[DanEFC92]

Maybe the new owners are the friends we made along the way

So theirs always that

Yeah, but it didnt hurt as much, cos you knew deep down every second would be a living hell.

We’re good comedy value, if nothing else.

Everton that!

We’re good comedy value, if nothing else.

Imagine supporting City and winning 64 Titles on the run.

BORING.

This is a sign. I have watched football at 2 stadiums in my life. Stadio Olimpico and Goodison Park.
