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

[Encoder]

How many months of exclusivity for 777 and now there's bidders bouncing out the woodwork like ti's going out of fashion.

Farhad Moshiri and the Admin Acolytes are all absolute flutes.

Mad how billy liar couldn’t find a buyer for 16 years

I hope he's squirming in his grave with embarrassment for the bare-faced lies he peddled for two decades. Horrible, selfish man.

This article confirms what I'd suspected.

Dell isn't interested in Everton. Would just be loaning the money.

I think we all knew that except the Esk, king of the contrarians

Wonder if we should reset the poll now the headlines around Dell backing has been clarified...

Any bets on Blue Bill doing a Lazarus and offering thirty bob and Uncle Cyril's pushbike.

That's a shock, Dell only providing a loan to Bell and Downing, I thought Esk said it was different?

He says a lot of things.

It sounds like there's no MSP/ Bell Downing option in reality, but the Bell/Downing option is still correct

Can someone get over the pay wall?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Please don't post paywall stuff, sorry.

Vatche Manoukian an interesting one, his arl fella has all the money but there’s little info on his actual worth. He does part own The Dorchester with the Sultan of Brunei apparently…..
Sounds like Mosh and Uzzys kind of guy tbh…..

 

[vintage-toffees]

So if downing and bell don’t have official ties to Dell as a partner

Does that mean Dell or his companies would be free to sponsor stadium at an inflated price
Given it’s location and significance there is no others ground to compare it too for brand exposure so it would be the benchmark for fair market price

Out of all the names we've been linked with, Vatche Manoukian is the one i hope ends up taking over, he is a genius and very successful in building businesses

You should be able to read the linked story using ‘reader mode’ if you have an iPhone.

If Dell isn’t going in on a stake and is only loaning, that changes things drastically. The last thing we want are skint owners putting us in even more debt. Would be Bill all over again.

Matt Slater hasn't got it quite right there.

Edit. Will involve taking equity
