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

[Goat]

Nope - a lot, if not most (certainly on social) seem to think Dell is backing their bid/will have equity.

Seeing a lot of people thinking Dell will sponsor etc.

That will be due to the Joyce headline.

Yep

And that idiot from Sky Sports News. Kaveh or whatever.

The hope would be Dell would play the Usmanov role and fund the club without having direct ownership to skirt around FFP rules. If he is just loaning super bloos money, that is a HUGE no

Depends on the type of financing I guess. I read someone on here mention it wouldn't be a typical loan and more of an 'investment' but IDK I'm a financial moron when it comes to this sort of thing!

I guess the view of this potential takeover depends on how much you rate Bell/Downing and their intentions.

I figure it's just providing finance as they have to lots of clubs.

Mad really, the guy has more than enough on hid plate as the active CEO of one of the biggest computing companies!

Quite fortunate that I have no idea what he said, its ok, I dont need to know.

Having a new owner with the most net worth is useless. You can’t just pump private money into a football club anymore, it’s not 2005. Debt is also not a massive concern if it is very serviceable with no danger to the club. The person or people who take over Everton needs to be those who can make the business run the best, and who are able to make Everton makes its own money, basically through ‘sponsorship’ deals. We need the most connected people running the club, not necessarily the richest.

I'd like Manoukian...purely based on the fact he looks like a Bond villain.

Hilariously his Dad goes by, Bob Manoukian

As soon as I read Sultan of Brunei I knew it had to be a wind up.

mister dobolina, mister bob manoukian..ah ok, was going well there for a sec

He's not involved it's financial experts investing part of his money to make a return

If nothing else, the doors have been flung open to investors who appear to be queuing up at the door……

If he directly owned the club, it would probably be a lot harder for us with FFP. So a dream scenario is he is very involved without direct ownership. But I am very concerned if it’s just super bloos asking for a loan to buy a club they have no business running. That would be scary

I know mate, but unfortunately it seems a lot of Blues on social media have seen "10th richest man in the world" and blown their load thanks to Joyce, Kaveh and the likes.

And he also sounds like somebody who is about to be sanctioned.
