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

[davids]

Think any potential buyers will be following the City v Prem case with great interest.

I hope someone buys us soon and then spends money on naming rights for the stadium so we avoid any PSR charges.

[Exeter_Gently]

What good is that?

 

[jazzy]

That won't work

 

[Dublin blue 75]

How much more money needs to be spent on new stadium to finish it off

6 months at 15m a month has been the figure frequently quoted.

 

[Neiler]

What good is that?

He might come to the table with finance, say he wanted 45% for a few hundred million to invest in the club, pay off debt, finish the stadium etc, Moshiri could let him have operational control, like Ratcliffe at Utd, he only owns 25%.

Wow well this takes a shine off things.

So unless MSD/DELL are coming in as a shareholder this seems to be awful.

It's going to be naff whom ever takes control unless they cover the debt.

The biggest issue we've got is any gains from having the new stadium are basically negated for 'n' years as it'll be used to repay the finance.

This would get around the prem fit and proper test wouldn’t it ?
As he won’t be buying the club outright and speed things up dramatically

Apparently though were going to be his crowning jewel despite his team saying Roma will always be the centrepiece of a multi club structure.

Hed be a fool mate, the money is in the PL, if you can make a PL club successful you are making infinitely more then in Serie A.

Wouldn't make any sense from an investment point of view.

He'd soon change his mind once he seen the finance sloshing round the PL.

 

[Runub]

Good news that 777 are history and there is new interest from potential buyers but in a strange way there could be too many interested parties now and getting to end of this process could take forever.

No mate the threshold for having to go through the test is a 25% stake.

How likely would it be for the owner of Roma who has not invested into their team (sales higher than purchases) who has stated they will be the top club in a multi club project...

...to throw money into Everton with a 45% shareholding?
