Club Statement

[davek]

While this is all true we'd sell easily imo. Someone with enough money, 10 billion plus type of investors, would happily buy into us assuming they're looking for a football club. Or some consortium perhaps. All the hard work with the stadium has been done. It's just the form on the pitch that needs changing. That alongside Bill K getting turfed out the door and some competent board members put in place to get better sponsorship deals etc and a new investor is laughing.

No mate. Sorry. For a number of reasons that possibility isn't available.

This club overnight is a toxic brand; it has hundreds of millions of debt about to fall on it as key figures will depart the scene; we have a delapidated stadium and we need a new owner to come in and - over and above clearing our debts - lay out another £600M-£700M on a new stadium; and we have a playing squad not fit for purpose lying near the foot of the table.

A "10 billion plus investor" is having nothing to do with a car crash like that, because people who make £10B plus didn't get £10B plus by making decisions like that.

Everton FC will be the biggest cultural victim of the Ukraine War. Make no mistake about that.

There will be a prospective buyer out there. Whether a sale can be made is hard to say, but there's no evidence that no one would be interested.

To say the club is totally toxic is just another of your enormous overexagerrations. We have cut ties with Russian linked sponsors. So did Man Utd, so have other sporting organisations. Are they all toxic as well?

Why are you bringing up £10bn as well? Chelsea are for sale for 3 billion. Why are you acting like it would cost 3 times more to buy us? Try 3 or 4 times less maybe!

Someone else brought up £10B.

Someone else brought up £10B.

Fair enough.

It's a ludicrous figure whoever suggested it. Abramovich apparently wants £3bn and they are european champions. The figure to buy Everton would be more like a quarter of that, and maybe far less than even that

 

[Dougie]

If farhad puts yeh club up for sale for a £1, I will buy the club. But I will need some of your help lads giving the toilets a fresh paint job this summer.

 

[degsy]

Roman can throw £1.5 Billion into Chelsea's pot then say; 'All yours lids, I'm done here' and just walk away.
and that's Financial Fair Play??

This is so unimaginably Everton

Who knows, maybe someone will want to buy us and they'll actually have a clue on how to run a football club?

Could be a blessing is disguise this if it leads to clueless Mosh sodding off

Liverpool winning the Premier League, Champions League, League Cup and beating us in the FA Cup final, with us having gone 2-0 up..
The ground going tits up and us getting relagated..

Now that’s proper Everton right there.

Not likely mickey, if you were a billionaire would you look at Everton as a profitable investment? Well the last 4 seasons show something like a £100m loss on average per season. So that's not a good start.

If your an investor who is not looking for a profitable business but moreso as a fun project like moshiri, abramovich the saudis etc would you go to Everton? Well no.... because Evertons accounts are showing losses totalling the brink of ffp over the last few years and they won't be allowed to spend anything without breaking the rules.

You also would have to fund a new stadium just to add to this. So who do you propose is going to come in and take all this on?

Everton that

Some were already converted to equity as far as I remember

Yeah but a lot of that loss was caused by Moshiri running it badly, a sensible billionaire could see the potential. I think Everton would be a good investment right now, dont forget you might be able to get it for a lot less then you could of done a month ago, same with Chelsea.
A club with a major project like Bramley Moore on offer too, its a good investment, only problem is the globe is on the edge of war, nobody might want to make any major moves right now, but even that brings the price down even more.

He will sod off because Usmanov is up the creek, sanctions might go on for years, well hopfully anyway, they are in this together, lose one we lose them both and the situation has pretty much put an end to Usmanov.

Bramley Moore isn't really on offer. It would need to be funded by any prospective buyer.

 

[4737carlin]

Bramley Moore isn't really on offer. It would need to be funded by any prospective buyer.

Yeah but i mean the project is on offer, you know if you buy Everton you get that plan with it, its a better buy then buying Everton at Goodison with no plans for a new stadium.
