Apologies if ready posted, but if this Dean Friedman takes over at EFC, can we thank our lucky stars? (one for the over 60's there).
No, no, no, you arent thinking like brilliant Moshiri has been. He tricked the wanna-be asset strippers to instead loan us 200 million and continue his plan to build the stadium, and then sell the team to the ideal owners.Then tried to sell us to the asset strippers 777 allegedly ....
9 months wasted .....No, no, no, you arent thinking like brilliant Moshiri has been. He tricked the wanna-be asset strippers to instead loan us 200 million and continue his plan to build the stadium, and then sell the team to the ideal owners.
Why would you want an owner who had briefed the press and has already stated he wants Roma to be the diamond centrepiece of a multi club structure.
We would always be 2nd to Roma.
No from me
I think it will be between 1 and 2.Do we have a complete bidders list yet? Important if we are going to crown a new ITK and run the others out of town. So allegedly there are 6 bidders. We know of:
The OG Five
1. MSP
2. Bell and Downing + DFO
3. A-Cap(minority stake)
4. Unknown Global Wealthy Consortium
5. ??? Textor but was based on PL granting some grace period?
New entrant
6. Dan Friedkin
If Textor was one of the first 5 known interested parties, and it was based on the PL maybe giving him a grace period to sell his palace shares after buying Everton....that means #3 and #5 are out. The media doesnt seem to think MSP are front runners right now, so does that imply its a 3 horse race between Bell and Downing, Dan Friedkin, and the unknown GWC(Global Wealthy Consortium as they call it)? Time may be short for people to start confidently declaring the "winner" before Moshiri makes an announcement.
If such worries are ever over (P&S gone, and a replacement which doesn’t stop an owner spending), then yes - the wealthier the better.Surely the wealthier the businessman is, the more competent they are ? (Talking self made here).
Seen this narrative a few times swilling around the fanbase which doesn't make sense to me.
Typically speaking, a bloke living in a 5 bedroom detached house will be more successful in the employment sector than one living in a bedsit.
Once our PSR worries are over, having an owner who can back us to the hilt in the transfer window is far more advantageous than one who cannot, or needs to borrow money off financiers / sell players.
The concern I have with Bell & Dowling, is that we may go full circle as a fambase and end up back in a scenario where if things dont go to plan, you'll have a split fanbase, one wanting investment and another being blindly defensive of two local evertonian owners who "love the club".
Bill Kenwright had manifested this plucky underdog narrative for many years and I still think a lot of our fans have a weak spot for it.
Truth be told, Kenwright lending money off Mr Green isnt a million miles away from Bell & Dowling lending money off MSD. I just do not see what is exciting about these pair if Dell is not part of a consortium buying equity in the club.
I see them as short term solutions to the clubs problems, I cant see how they manage to own a big club in the Premier League that has ambition to push on into the european places without pumping us full of loans.
VERY unpopular opinion, but Moshiri was actually the "perfect" owner in some ways.
He invested huge sums to prop up the spending.
He got his companies to spend huge sums on propping up our revenues.
He "built" a brand new Stadium.
What more could we truly ask of an owner?

Newcastle owners are worth 450billion and they need sales before they buy this Summer.If such worries are ever over (P&S gone, and a replacement which doesn’t stop an owner spending), then yes - the wealthier the better.
I don’t have much confidence that is going to be the case any time soon though.
