Everton takeover rumours

[USABlue]

wonder who the two "serious" parties Bill is speaking with at the moment are?

no idea but can't see why heineman would make up nonsense. That being said I could see others passing as well. Like other's have said the stadium issue is probably a turn off for potential buyers

"Not the right price" would be my first guess

probably goes hand in hand tbh. I'm sure even 225m would be fine if we were in a newer stadium or Goodison had been renovated in the last 10 years haha

true..hence the asking price is ridiculous and won't be getting any takers

It's been rumoured that the Hunts (owners of Kansas City Chiefs) are. Just idle speculation probably though

Is it just a Kansas thing ?

Haha. Dorothy's been getting her funk on it would seem

Robb Heineman seems to suggest a few serious parties, but it seems your typical Bill's mate before the AGM pumping it up hey?

 

[toffeejack]

maybe there's no such thing as the other two, they were made up to make KC pay a higher fee?

 

[Chang Elephant]

Could it be argued that the stability which has been created is the bedrock on which a new stadium, the extra income, etc, become potentially very profitable in the medium and long term, with the right owners, with capital to invest inn the right areas?

No

 

[Woolly Blue]

But I think there are some serious groups that are in the mix and I think it will get solved in the next few months

Well, I doubt Heineman would say that just to do the board a ( supposed ) favour before the AGM, so I'm going to be eternally optimistic or totally clueless ( take your pick ) and hope he's right.

Cant see the stadium thing being a turn off as the planned Kirkby Shed and the rumoured criteria for soon to be scuppered WHP would mean we have dodged two bullets.

The carpet baggers have set an unreal price for the club - a club needing major infrastructural improvements and squad financing on top of the price being asked for shares. If you're a buyer you look at it and think two things: 1/ WTF have these people done to ask for cash like that?, 2/ It's a sales pitch based on revenue from a volatile source that can leave the game just as soon as it entered it.

In short, you'd need your head feeling handing over £225M for a PL club with no new stadium facility, no massive commercial arm to it, and a good but not top 4 class squad.

We'll be like this until Kenwright leaves. There's not a buyer out there who'll touch this club with a barge pole.

Odds on these Americans now buying a club like Newcastle, seeing them pumped with cash and challenging for the league, just like the Arabs did with us and City?

How is WHP a dodged bullet?
