Elstone refusing to allow shareholders who are also Blue Union members into meetings

[edge]

If most didn't there would have been a bigger push towards that. The fact is most Evertonians DO want the club to be sold to the correct buyer. However in reality who would want to buy a club with such debt and such a poor stadium? It's a massive massive project.

and who has let the club get in this state. DEBT increased no ground improvement in nearly two decades the blue union or blue bill and now its down to them to sort out for him. Call themselves everton fans should be ashamed of themselves should be like the band on the titanic play along as are club sinks into the murky depths

Find investors.

Not the responsibility of the fans.

The owner should a ) lower his asking price to a realistic, market value level; and b ) employ professionals from the world of finance (in the same way Liverpool did, and Manchester City) to find a potential buyer(s) of good character, background check them, check they have the money and means, check they don't live in one bedroom flats in Manchester and claim to previously work for ICI, you know, that sort of thing.

A fans pressure group which has made numerous, perfect valid suggestions that the club continues to not only not heed, but actively ignore, issue banning orders/ultimatums such as this one, and attempt to libel groups with claims made on national radio last night.

TBH, its not the debt (£46 million is not that much in PL terms) nor the "poor" stadium (which still takes nearly 40,000 people) that puts genuine investors off, its the fact that we are based in Liverpool and there is precisely zero chance of ever getting the money that would be required to turn us into regular title/CL contenders back under the current system of football.

Let's be realistic. Who in their right mind is going to want to buy a club with 50m debt and an out of date stadium?

They, much like Bill and his mates, have no idea how to sell football clubs. That's why they suggest employing specialists who do.

That said Frank Butcher, Arthur Daley and Dell Boy Trotter combined couldn't sell the club for what's being asked.

I honestly don't get what (probably) grown men get out of (bad)internet wind-ups.

 

[By god I'm blue]

Find investors.

This is a wind up.....right?

 

[BoysInBlue]

But that's good business. You make profit you reinvest. Our board members especially Kenwright has not got £25m to throw in every season. The only clubs that have are owned by billionaires or are much more marketable than us.

It's not good business, because you are constantly, unrealistically, relying on the manager to unearth gems, which he can then coach up to a higher standard and then sell on. As a result you are no longer building a team, because every few years you sell a key player. This is precisely why you end up with a small squad, always fall away from greatness just as you're about to get there, and why the club never finishes in the top 4. That is why the best clubs succeed, because they INVEST in the infrastructure.

The fact the club isn't 'more marketable' is because no investment is made in the club. It is a self-fulfilling cycle of neglect, and end result.

A person or persons who would buy the club for a realistic price - not £125m that the club have stated that they want.

Lower the asking price - a suggestion made many times, and many months ago, by members of the Blue Union.

So other than Abramovic and City owners. Which other investors would be able to buy current board out,Wipe debt, build a new stadium and put a first class 11 on the pitch. How much is that likely to cost. The fact of the matter is we missed the boat a decade ago.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Pretty pathetic really from Everton really...

 

[Bluesnapper]

It's not, but instead of putting a negative outlook on the club why not do something positive. Why would the club allow these people back into meeting when they stabbed them in the back last time. To spread more negativity over the club? They'd be absolutely mad.

Whats this negativity are you talking about?

Righto then.

Lets all just stay as we are.

You should be on the board.
