Said before... he'll bring investment in.

Stay in the league. Keep Lampard. Future will be brighter
It’s his kin train set. He’s the head honcho, the main man. A crap one, but he thinks he isn’t.

He walked away from Arsenal because the owners (rightly) identified him as a buffoon.

Everton was his ‘I’ll show them’ moment. Playing second fiddle to no one. sod the fans, or the league we’re playing in.
 
So he purchased 49% of the club for around £200m, then apparently has thrown another £500m or so in and now owns more than 90%. He needs £700m or so to break even and we haven’t even got on to the stadium that requires funding. And the restrictions on spending and probable player sales to attempt to balance the books on a club that loses a hundred million a year.

People are expecting him to make a massive loss, this investor/accountant. He will sit tight and bring what he promised, the stadium. Maybe then if the time is right and we are above mid table he looks to cash in, as things stand the reason the vultures are circling is because there’s a chance of a profit to be had if he takes a big loss.

Now things change somewhat if the £350m wasnt his and he’s been told it can be written off, then maybe he sells. But beware any potential owners, especially ones that are interested in a basket case of a club like ours. Any decent potential buyers wouldn’t be anywhere near us at present.

Got a train set and somehow found a way to manage it worse than the actual Rail Services.

Remarkable.

Getting some more money men onboard makes that a little bit less of megalomaniac as he'll have others to answer to

There's the side regarding cash flow from those who have had their cash flows 'interrupted'.
In business terms we are still attractive to a degree, we had a decent forward looking plan, built around BMD, but just employed lizards to carry it out.**
