777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

What is the Owner's and Director's test anyway? Can someone study for this or is it like a handshake, you get one attempt and the judgment is subjective?

You have to prove you don't oversee a brutal, abusive regime and that you don't oppress women and gay people and that you don't chop up critical journalists.

Just kidding; you need to prove you have lots and lots of money.

If and let's be clear this is IF there were such a terrible owner, would it kill any journalists to write a damning story to be published in a major newspaper about how terrible these owners are?

My guess is it would at least fast track that aspect of it as he will have a current "pass" on the OADT. The issue is likely to be on the Palace end, where whoever is buying his stake would need to pass the test before that deal was ratified, and that deal would need to be ratified before he could buy Everton.

Do you reckon he could join up with Downing and his mate to form a consortium ? How rich is Textor, does anyone have any idea ?

John Textor’s personal net worth is unknown.

I've seen it estimated at a couple of billion but who really knows. Certainly Downing and Bell need some more money on board if they want to land the club and he might fit the bill. No idea what Textor's feelings would be on that but he's not got mega wealth (in PL terms) so he might be open to co-investors, I dunno.

He may be a "my way or the highway" kind of guy, but at least he has a "way." Let's face it, Moshiri and the rest of his clown show never lost their way because they never had one to begin with.

The texton stuff making headlines, feels like a long shot

I think alot of people are ecstatic on what it potentially represents even if he isn't making an approach, just the fact there seems to be interest from more reputable business entities and he vaguely alluded to other parties being intent on acquiring the club

Along as the guy isn't a naive football rube like moshiri id be cool with him at this point and he's seems to be legitimate unlike 777

 

[Nymzee]

Is he still involved with Lyon? Not a bad team to have a partnership with if so.

As long as he gets relegation.

As long as he gets relegation.

Going by the past couple years of his ownership I don't think moshiri comprehended relegation other than when someone tells you're near it you hire fat Sam or dyche

Probably very close to the truth.

 

[Curtis]

I wish for anyone other than Farhad Moshiri to own this football club. That is a very carefully considered decision believe me.

I've been trying to find the clip where he celebrates a goal in a bewildered state making a touchdown gesture, the clueless knob
