bainsy4england · September 11, 2011

i know it might only be paper talk but the mail on sunday has said kenwright has put a £100 million price tag on everton, want to know peoples opinions on this matter?

The red side was sold for around £300m but their massive debts were also wiped out. Our debts are tiny in comparison

That is not correct. The new owner simply took over the debt from the bank. It was a "repossession".

The figure is more realistic to what has previously been quoted by Harris.

Seems reasonable at first but then you have to ask is that just for kenwrights shares or his and earl's?
If its just kenwrights does that mean he values the club at over 400m? or am i totally wrong?

Given what Blackburn got sold for, 100 million is a nice Round number and seems a sensible place to start negogiations

If it's in the Fail it's bound to be made up

That'll be for the 68% of the shares that the major shareholders own. On that basis, someone is going to have to stump up £130M+ just for ownershp.

They only need a controlling interest Dave K.

Its a made up story in a paper, there is no right or wrong answer.

That depends on how a new owner wants to set the company up.

CaptainBlood · September 11, 2011

Due to the money needed to be invested ie 40m debt, new stadium etc, Kill Benwright should be asking 50-60m

Couldn't he just take one for the team and sell for a quid? If he loves the club like...

He just wants to get rid of the club for a price he deems fair.

Selling for £1 is normally fodder for Portsmouth-like chairmen to come in and rape us.
