Refused to meet 777 last September.

Not my place. I also believed it would be lip service. A PR exercise to try and quell discontent...

Afterwards - there was podcasts, tweets etc - a lot now deleted, that encouraged patience, calm. "Give them a chance" seemed the narrative. It almost felt briefed - 'dont rock the boat'. 'Give them time'. Claiming there was no alternative.

For all the stick he takes - fair play to Esk for not being cowed. He was the only one who met them, owned it and had the integrity to say "no, these are no good".

Oh, and questions need to be asked of the FA and FCA. I won't claim to know their exact remit - but both give approval to 777 to become directors of Everton.Spot on

Am I understanding right that this could actually be worse for us? That payment could be pulled forward(which we obviously can't do)?

Very unlikely as neither repayable on demand nor is the debt secured or enforceable.

It's why the constant drum of the whole institution being corrupt or full of self interest is loud.

It needs an independent regulator.

Mosh will now have to open the door to other interested parties though, which will be a painful failure on his behalf and hopefully a benefit to us.

He's probably on the phone to those Minnesota cowboys now though..

The Gerhardts?

….i wonder the extent of Thelwell’s involvement in this.

It could be anything from cosying-up, being the single point of contact and centrally involved in bringing them in, to simply being the bloke who sorted their seats when they visited. I have no idea;

All the evidence points to Kev being the ticket tout and the half time tea lady.

Don't think he's capable of anything more complex than that tbh

 

[MACCA75]

Starting to have my doubts about these.

We've got to give them a chance Macca. If they sell another 47 of their co owned clubs this week to pay our £265.37 weekly gas bill at FF, we know they're committed and deserve another month of patience

Hi Farhad.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Sorry but I just can't hand out any special acknowledgement to the Esk for repeatedly stating the obvious.

I don't know the bloke, I don't follow him and have never listened to one of his podcasts. For all I know he's probably a sound bloke that I'd get on with but I just can't praise him for this, the state of 777 has been out there since we were first linked..

I know what you mean mate. I don't believe in any poll we had on here or social ever had 10% wanting them.

Evidently, bad charlatans;



As you and Esk have said, it was obvious - I was surprised at how quiet the discontent was. Maybe it was the distraction of the relegation scrap? Maybe it was fatigue? Maybe some thought we had no choice. Battered fan syndrome...

Battered fan syndrome...

Thats a thing?

 

[MikeH72]

Very much looking forward to Moshiri‘s statement next week that he still believes they’re the right people for the club, believes in the multi club model and is hopeful they can get the deal over the line. As a result he’s agreed to extend their exclusivity period until September 1st.

Very unlikely as neither repayable on demand nor is the debt secured or enforceable.

Also I think whoever takes over the chasing down of money owed will be prepared to take a haircut for prompt payment or accept a much longer payback period. Whatever US Man Overboard debtt collectors are prepared to take on.

Hopeful that a new owner can pay back the capital and not the interest. This would make a big difference. If we can get an owner with decent financial credentials they could pay off R&M and the 777 loans and consolidate at 5% or so, meaning interest payments of £20 million a year rather than between £50 and £80 million. Once established in the new stadium we could start repaying capital whereas at the moment there's no prospect of the size of the loan decreasing.

This lot get a load of stick, but I’ve seen their 5 year plan and I’ve got to tell you that by the end of it, they will be almost half way through the buying process.
