Will we be attracting investment with current form?

He has converted his loans to the club into shares.

So, if he sells he's guaranteed his pay back ?

You know that the value of shares can and do go down.

£200 million for Villa and only circa £120 million for Everton ?
The great Randy learner is not quiet the saint he's made out to be lids.

Yep. Of course they can. Just as much at Villa as at Everton.........

IMHO, the jurnos get direction from John Thompson the sport editor at the echo. This is the fella who has been the gatekeeper for the club at the echo.

This this the same Echo that when the situation demands, posters on here call 'The Red Echo' , the paper that 'loves the RS but not Everton'?

Loving Bill Kenwright/his board and loving Everton are two completely different things.

And to think the Milwaukee Bucks, the worst team in the NBA this season, have been sold for $550m this week. It took the owner about 4 months to sell the team, and the new owners (two investment funds owners) are even matching his $100m contribution to go towards a new arena!

Yet people don't buy sports teams according to Kenwright.

Exactlly.

If paper reports are to be believed then their business is more attractive and the price pitched at the correct level.

He is a well known RS, by not promoting Everton achieves all that he needs to from his role.

'If paper reports are to be believed' Glad that you at least agree thats a possibility, Mr Blue! So you reckon Villa are worth more than twice as much as Everton ? (Given that the usual suspects 'acceptable price' for Everton is around £80 million)

No. Investors would only invest in something that would make a decent profit, and we don't.

Last time I looked, Milwaukee was a long way from L4 !!I've a house here that would probably be worth three times as much in the US!

Learner is brilliant mate, he has the whole world believing hes a great owner who has been hard done by bad managers - truth being he takes 15% of their revenue out of the club in Interest on the loans/money he has given them - that what he charges on loans not the loan repayments themselves. I find that extrodinary given his favourable media profile. Thankfully i dont think an Everton owner would get away with it.

See this article towards the end under the picture of stars in their eyes, he runs Villa the same way as he runs MBNA and they love him for it. Bad carpet bagger - but in a way admirable that he hasnt been cottoned onto.

He's not long turned a 100m debt into equity! No comparison what so ever.

Didnt know you had a competition regarding possibility.

As for price, I dont reckon anything.

If you say Everton is worth £80 million (£130 million minus £50 million debt) and isnt attracting a buyer but Villa are attracting a consortium that includes 2×Texan billionaires then Lerner is a better salesman than Kenwright has or our price is too high, maybe a combination of the two.

 

[The Hairy Splinter]

Bloody marvellous, isn't it? Villa have a buyer hanging on to see whether they stay up. Everton can't be given away, apparently, despite having been in the top six for years...

...how do you account for it?
