I thought Bill was looking hard for investors ?
He has said there aren't any people willing to invest in football clubs during these hard times.
Fcukin LIAR !

Is Fcukin Liar the Arab investor?

Not to rub salt, but the Arab investor said he's willing to build them a new ground and training facilities…..

And Sunderland is bought by a Yank. But don't worry, Bill is looking for a buyer and has been for ten years. Boys pen and all that, you know. Trust ol' Bill on this one (too).

So, not having a new stadium is NOT the reason we haven't been bought yet? Fancy that.

I just think BK doesn't want to sell Everton to anyone.

I think he wants some [Poor language removed] with pots of cash to come in and say . .
" Here you go, Bill. There's £500million, now stay on being chairman and administer that money anyway you see fit "

I can't see the man stepping aside for anyone.

Its his train set and while Moyes is working miracles he wont leave, im afraid its going to take a huge turn around in our fortunes in order for the utter clown to ever sell. While we are making Cup Finals and high league finishes his warped little mind thinks hes being a success.

5th is wonderful, for a club that spends £3m net a season, its a miracle. But the miracle is being worked by 1 man. Sadly that man will never get the chance to spend any decent money, its a shame, we could be HUGE.

Enough money to compete and in my mind the best manager in the world, we could be a force again, but sadly Moyes will have to leave and then we will have to drop like a stone before the current board sell.

Clarky is spot on, Bill is looking for investment, but who in their right mind is going to give somebody else a huge amount of money and allow them to spend it, with little or no chance of getting the money back.

But also I think there are people that can do what Kenwright wants ie leave him as chairman and pump cash into the club. The thing is…non of the shareholders are selling so no investor can buy a huge stake in the club.

Look at Sunderland. Quinn is still chairman and the big boss man of the club but they had an American business tycoon as a large shareholder pumping money into it. He upped his stake and bought out the club. Arsenal have a similar situation over there.

So its not just Kenwright willing or not willing to give up his shares….all the big shareholders in the club aint moving an inch either.

 

[Clarky66]

I mean who in their right mind would buy Portsmouth ahead of Everton ?
I know he's an arab and knows fcuk all about the game, but fcuk me, he must be one thick ****.

This tells me that Everton is NOT for sale.

Pompey have more debt than us also….I think, and a stadium that is a country mile worst the GP.

Quinn is more of a figurehead really, hes Chairman only in name, I doubt he has any controlling interest in the Club, I dont know for sure, but I think hes just a mouth piece and go between, I could be wrong.

So any profit in the long term wouldnt benefit him.

But I hear what your saying, Kenwright gets the most stick, buts thats because he is so cringeworthy and tells constant lies.

Yes in an ideal world the other board memebers would be the 1s that left, but they are greedy people, who have no interest in the Club, just about making money.

I see Bill as somebody who is conflicted, on 1 hand he sees all the lovely money he could make and on the other he wants to see Everton as a force again. It would appear the other people on the board only care about the money.

How much is the guy actually going to invest? From where I'm standing, there is a big difference between Everton and Portsmouth, and the expectations of both sets of fans. You give Pompey a pretty, tin shed shed and they'll lap it up. Not us, we want more. Maybe Bill has fended off some of those that are looking at minimum investment, and maximum return.

But Kenwright's generally the same, aint he? If Quinn is just the mouthpiece that knows all about Sunderland and the game, Kenwright can do that, all that would happen is that he'd be taking off the burden of generating funds from his shoulders…

How much stake does Kenwright hold? 40%? There's 60% of the club out there then. But no one is budging so BK probably thinks…why should he?

And its not the case of finding the "right buyer".

Citeh are the richest club in the world and are giving Hughes another season to build a team…..

We have one of the best and respected managers in the country on the cusp of delivery everything the Citeh owners want….

Why would a business man want to balls that up by not letting Moyes does what he wants?

The only thing I can think is that the owners would bring in a player or two Moyes doesn’t want (like the Citeh owners did, and Abramovich) and them having a falling out. But I'm sure Moyes would sort out the fact would control transfers and everything he controls now. On business terms it would be stupid to chance an already winning formula….The only thing that needs to change is money.

The guy who now owns Sunderland has already said he's giving complete control of the transfers to the manager. I think its clear to see that the money men controlling transfers is bad for business.

And even if it went tits up and godforbid Moyes left…..you don’t think the club would be able to attract a world class manager?

Well…its not like he hasn’t got a pot to piss in so he's going to pump a substancial ammount in terms for what an "average" club generally spends. And that certainly will be more than what we can spend now.

As for the tincan…the tin can would cost more than £78million unless they struck up deals like we did. I'd like to believe that whatever Pompey spend on a ground, that same investor could spend redeveloping GP.

And the thing is….the guys mega rich…these people don’t go into Football expecting a return - you think that the Citeh owners are waiting for the £60million they spent last season to come back? They're doing it for fun in seems.
