How do we go about this? Happy to buy 4 at market value, should be about 5k

Current market value is nearer £3,000 per share - there or thereabouts.

What a ridiculous idea, just the thought of contributing to this to make a millionaire even richer makes me feel ill.

As much as I hate the decline he's caused this club I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

Like a child holding their toy crying to not get if took off them.

Yeah except it's not HIS toy. It never was.

Do you think he is just going to walk away? He owns shares in a multimillion pound organisation, he isn’t going to give it away.

Seems pretty obvious to me that Moshiri can’t get rid of Kenwright whether that’s due to contract issues or the more tinfoil hat blackmail issues then the result is the same. Kenwright only leaves when he wants to leave. Stalemate

More than expected but would still take 4-5 shares

He doesn't have any power with those shares though, I'm sure there's a few horrible people who own shares in our club who also have no pull over it. Sack him, and he's cooked.

I will buy his shares for the equivalent value in 10p Freddo's

Again and with the utmost respect, you need to listen to the entire discussion before making a judgment call.
We're painfully aware that while Moshiri holds 94%+ of the shares, he is to all intents and purposes in utter control... but, he's in utter control now and can't seem to oust BK.
The podcast offers a germ of an idea and a potential way to force things in the manner most Blues appear to want... removal of the Chairman.

On Monday, Paul said he'd be gone by Wednesday.

No surprise Wednesday passed and that didn't happen

The above message seems to say that Moshiri can't actually oust Kenwright or is struggling to oust him. This is after saying on Monday that he was leaving.

I think people can rightly question that and ask for a simple answer without having to listen to a 1 hour podcast with the person who has made a statement that hasn't happened (once again)

I'd rather he was a shareholder unwelcome at matches
yea, where he's concerned I'm a bitter and twisted a-hole

GTFO of Everton ya greaseball

Sorry Andy, that's not true.

The current market value is whatever price is set between the buyer of shares and the seller. Several changed hands last season at £3'500, I heard rumours of one recent trade at £4'000 but I have doubts. Either way, as its not a publicly traded company, there's no price dictated by reality.

When Moshiri converted his last loan to equity (100m) they were calculated at £3'000 each. (But if somebody is buying bulk shares in a company like Everton they'd expect a discount on the current traded rate)

The true market value (as discussed in the pod) doesn't matter, it's up to the buyer to offer a price the seller accepts.

As for the crowdfunding to buy out the Chairman it's a nice idea but I suspect it would fall woefully short.

Evertonians talk a good game but when the crunch comes, what happens? The marches were reasonably well attended and those organising them should be applauded but there were 2 x the number standing by taking videos on their phones.

The post season protest at The Liver Building, again...a great idea... but everyone was 'Evertoned out' which is why only a couple of hundred showed, despite it being a gloriously sunny day.

The Shareholders Association partition over their vote of no confidence in the board got what? 12/13'000 signitures? That was free to sign!

Kenwright has 1'750 shares. The price ranges talked about are 6 million to what @The Esk said was 8.7 million. That's between £3'428 each and £4'971.

For arguments sake, let's say Bill is feeling charitable and sells at £3k each. Looking at the most popular choice in the poll (50 to 200) that's an average of £125 pounds each.

You'd need 42'000 people paying £125 pounds each. Just over a capacity Goodison. Well over 3x the number of people who signed a free partition!

I like the idea. I just don't see it.

Obviously I mean 'petition'

I just checked and it eventually got to just over 15k.

Thats a long way short of the 52k needed at £100 each (provided BK accepts a discounted rate)

Also, we know BK has thicker skin than a rhino. He wouldn't give a toss about any negative press. (plus he'd have his pet journalists pushing his side of the story)
