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

Not open for further replies.
Farhad Moshiri, desperate to offload Everton Football Club, finally finds a buyer. Not just any buyer, but Mr. Chuckles McGiggle, the world's most eccentric clown and entrepreneur.

Mr. McGiggle, known for his wacky inventions and slapstick humor, offers £20m and a Curly Wurly, which Moshiri, exhausted from years of turmoil, bizarrely accepts.

In his first act as owner, Mr. McGiggle announces a series of changes to the club that leave fans and players alike scratching their heads:
  1. Stadium Overhaul: Goodison Park is renamed "Giggle Park" and is redesigned to include slides instead of stairs, and a bouncy castle VIP section.
  2. New Mascot: Swoosh the Toffee, a life-sized toffee with googly eyes, becomes the new mascot, replacing the traditional blue liver bird.
  3. Team Uniforms: The team's kits are now neon green with purple polka dots, ensuring they are the most 'visible' team in the Premier League.
  4. Half-time Shows: Each match features a half-time circus performance with juggling, unicycles, and a pie-throwing contest involving the substitutes.
Despite these chaotic changes, Mr. McGiggle's unorthodox methods lead to some unexpected successes:

Year 1: The first season is a whirlwind. The team's new kits are impossible to miss, leading to an uptick in merchandise sales. Although performances on the pitch are erratic, the sheer unpredictability confounds opponents, leading to a mid-table finish. Everton becomes known as the 'entertainment capital' of the Premier League, with fans flocking to Giggle Park for the spectacle as much as the football.

Year 2: Mr. McGiggle's investment in a revolutionary new training program involving trampolines and laughter therapy starts to pay off. The players, more relaxed and fit than ever, begin to gel. Everton surprises everyone by securing a Europa League spot, largely thanks to their home record, where teams struggle to take the clown-themed atmosphere seriously.

Year 3: By the third year, the novelty begins to wear off, and Mr. McGiggle, inspired by his success, decides to focus more on footballing matters. He hires a top-tier manager who balances the fun with tactical acumen. This results in a stunning run that sees Everton finish in the top four, qualifying for the Champions League for the first time in decades. In the end, Mr. Chuckles McGiggle's tenure, which started as a joke, becomes a case study in sports management, proving that a little humor and a lot of heart can go a long way in the beautiful game.

ChatGPT via the prompt: Everton Football Club is up for sale by its own Farhad Moshiri. Please come up with a humorous situation whereby a truly comical new owner purchases the club for something like '£20m and a Curly Wurly' and then predict the club's success over the next three years

Nothing will happen quickly, the next stage is Moshiri agreeing a period of exclusivity and allow the preferred bidder to look at the books.
78% of the books have been redacted with only combinations of the following words remaining; It, the, can, regarding, with, therefore, and, miscellaneous
 

Dell, Bell and Downing sounds like a dodgy lawyers firm, but I’d take them over Moshiri that’s for sure.
