    Mark Lawrenson's thoughts on Everton

    Don't get me started on Lawro, the man's a total bell. He wrote on his little BBC results prediction page before the Chelsea match that Rovers fans had been treated badly, the club was in a bad state, the protests weren't a surprise etc etc... he then came out after the match on radio and...

    The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

    Not sure this is neccessarily true. Rovers fans were always saying this when we were under the penny-pinching Walker Trust, but the right managerial appointments (Ince aside) ensured that even with a minus transfer budget (lowest in the league for numerous seasons) we stayed up comfortably. If...

    Jordan Rhodes

    Rhodes is going to be a very good player and will play at Premier League level at some point. Worth it if the price is right.

    Saha to PSG

    PSG will be chasing better players than Saha. He's right, it's lazy journalism.

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    To my knowledge WBA have not been approached. Wouldn't be surprised if their interest turns that way, though.

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    All quiet on the middle-eastern front at the moment. If there is a takeover close at Everton it ain't the Qataris.

    Bilyaletdinov requests move, in talks with Dynamo Moscow

    I see... kind of like MGP for us then. Except everyone now knows MGP is crap.

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    I'll try and make it clear in future what is my opinion and what I've heard from my contact, if that helps?

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    It's just a guess on my part mate, I never said this is definitely what they're going to do. It's just what would logically make sense looking at all the options available to them.

    Bilyaletdinov requests move, in talks with Dynamo Moscow

    Is Bilyaletdinov a bit of a "match of the day player", then, or has he just been misused by Moyes? You spent a fair wedge on him so I would have thought if he had the ability Moyes would have used him more... or is that not how it works?

    Everton 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers. Saturday 19th November @ 15.00.

    Can't see anything but a win for Everton here. Losing to Wolves would put you in big trouble, as one of us or Wigan will likely gain three points at the weekend. I don't think our match will be a draw. Everton 3-1 Wolves.

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    You're right, to my knowledge there's been no official approach to Everton yet. They're definitely interested, though, and I fully expect an approach to be made within the next few days. For the record, an approach does NOT mean an official bid. It will be similar to the Qataris communication...

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    The Qatari interest is real and Venky's statement is a bare-faced lie. They lie all the time - if people paid attention to them they'd realise this. From what I'm told Kenwright isn't interested in negotiating below a certain price. The Qataris will know of this price one way or the other...

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    I appreciate it must seem a bit strange! I've basically been following a potential takeover at Rovers for some time, the Qatari interest came out of the blue and my contact filled me in pretty well on their motives, wealth, etc. I genuinely believed for some time they were going to buy us so...

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    The deal itself would be done within days. In terms of the Qataris legally owning the club, it may take a little longer but it would still be very rapid. When you have the type of money they do things can be pushed along very quickly.

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    As I've said previously, they're lying. The Rovers fans are already against them, can you imagine if they came out and said they'd turned down a bid from actual, legitimate billionaires to buy us? There is no way they will admit that. An official bid was never lodged for the club, anyway. The...

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    As I said, it's a strange way to do business. But they've got the money to do it that way. I think even the Everton board may sit up and say "this is too good to turn down".

    The Takeover Rumour Thread.

    If this happens, it will happen very quickly. I'm talking literally days. These people do not want to wait around and they don't want a long, drawn out process. They want to get in, assess the situation before January and be ready to spend what needs to be spent.

    The Everton Board Thread (Inc. Bill Kenwright / Blue Union)

    Latest news is that this takeover business has caused deep divisions in the Rao family. Balaji has basically been told it's all his... Mrs Desai and her husband want nothing to do with Rovers and have wanted out since last season. If we spend anything it will either be on the back of player...
