Everton takeover rumours

[micknick]

The thing for me is if that a buyer came along and Bill and co said you know what we've had our fun, we've taken a wage out of it for x amount of years we will sell for what we paid for it with a caveat that they buy for the £225m with the rest ring fenced for stadium development.

That would be nice wouldnt it.

Meanwhile, the club are sending out emails about half-season tickets.

Hmm.

 

[blulouie]

We've got potential. We've got the players and dare i say it the manager that can bring us success. We just need that little bit extra to get us there.

Sleeping Giant ready to wake mate.....just hope its soon.

To be honest it is quite a week rebuttal.

Not happening. Everton will be sold only after Bill Kenwright is not around anymore.

Can a takeover bid be valued by 'potential' revenue streams? The club cant capatlise these on to the balance sheet; they arent classed as assets.

Therefore can the revenue streams be part of the 'goodwill' element of valuing a company, hence the increased price?

FWIW if the club stay in the top flight over the next 5 years I think they will receive well over £500m in revenue from TV deal so feasibly there is a modicum of strength to such a valuation if they (increased revenue streams) are to be taken into account when valuing a business.

Is this a smokescreen so that they can announce that Stones has been sold during the AGM?

 

[toffeejack]

Can anyone explain the £225m price tag?

Seems way way too high.

you should always put the price tag a lot higher than what you actually need. it's not saying they'd accept anywhere near that amount if offered.

Hmm.

It's utter tosh isn't it.

Wouldn't it just.

Not for the size , history & pedigree of the club there isnt.

yup, and when they look at which clubs are for sale and which club would be best placed to take advantage of the growing American market, Everton are the only choice.

....just thinking of the song "Billy don't be a hero".

I'm not fussed about origin - I'm from Walton.

I just don't want another potential Peter Johnson (ie. LFC fan for life).

Right, but love for club is important regardless of origin. It's the end all be all, but I want someone at the top (or near the top) to see the club and not just dollar signs.

 

[Eggs]

Long way to go yet. Just a few months ago, Villa had a group doing due dilligence with the books, only to pull out.

....we're OK because we don't keep books, it's all in our heads.

 

[Toffeelover]

Don't believe these stories but when one looks at the table of clubs that would be worth a punt, Everton are right up there at the top.

 

[Mark Pembridge]

Could this be the one at long last??? Love there to be something in it but been here that many times havnt we

 

[Eggs]

Sorry this is mostly likely nonsense. Speculative reporting likely from a Twitter rumour no doubt.

Kenwright wants too much and the new buyer would need to clear debts AND build a new stadium. The new owner would need to invest around £500 million in that case.

Much cheaper options available and closer to London.

...Tranmere.

I'd settle for Kenwright living up to his promise about not being in it to make any profit out the club, sell then turn around and pay off all existing debt on the club, pay off the season ticket loans, and buy back the training complex from the council.

Hell he will still walk away with a profit after doing all that, do that, give the club a completely debt free clean slate for the new owners to go and achieve something with the club, we all know he won't though, he either will die before he sells, or will sell and take his profit and never look back the charlatan
