Sounds like Bill has sold his shares so will have no power other than that given to him by the new majority shareholder. So his 'train set' can be taken away from him at any time.

Pretty depressing that some Blues are trying to turn some good news into another opportunity to have a pop at Bill. Just enjoy it FFS.

Go easily pleased by some money thrown waved around. Let's wait and see if it's actually spent first eh? It's a good start, but nothing's happened yet.

Actually it points out he was very trusted for hid depth of financial and investment knowledge

I am sure he is very good at what he does; all I would point out is that he seems to be associated with Usmanov an awful lot. If its his money he is putting in then good luck to him, but there really should be questions (not least over what kind of a deal it is to sell 15% of Arsenal for 49% of us) asked this "investment", especially as there doesn't appear to be (if it is just him) that much money behind him.

Who do I ask about the Arteta money now?

 

[Goat]

Nothing much to say at the moment mate, just waiting for further details.

The positives: Earl - GONE, control of the club by the board (up to today anyway) - GONE

The barriers to further investment have been removed, that's the best start.

I said earlier today we would have evolution not revolution, that's exactly what we've got.

At which point do we have to declare the share structure?

If Bill stays and suntan Bobby remains chief executive I think I'll hold off on the celebratory w@nk for now (although the fact that I'm in the pub does have a bearing on that as well)

Gonna build an emirates on stanley park arent we lids..

 

[joey_macmo]

Kenwright & Woods staying in their respective positions?

Meh

 

[orly]

So has anyone else utterly realigned their political leanings on the back of this news?

Think we should now have this on the side of the Main Stand

Maybe I just don't know enough about how ownership via shares work, but why 49.9%? Surely to be the majority shareholder he needs 50.1%?

 

[zirc]

This one can only be good news friends, as it's been announced the same day as my daughter has been born. No coincidence that.

 

[maccavennie]

How can anyone be "taught" to be an Evertonian.....

Not everyone is lucky enough to be born like us K so we sometimes have to teach the outsiders what it is to be a Blue ,)

If I didnt have 3 kids I would be in town, right now, with 3 for 50s on speed dial.

Anybody that doesnt have kids and isnt in Angels or the Lisbon rar now is an utter kopite.

I'm in York right now, does that count? Will have a toast on it in Liverpool later tonight.

 

[LinekersLegs]

So £75 million cash injection into the club? Possible, I suppose.

I need someone smarter than me to sort this out.

Me too mate, I'm just excitedly retweeting anyone who seems to have info and hope someone else will figure out all the details

But even the worse case appears to be that a major chunk of the club is now owned by someone with both experience in the league and business/financial acumen, surely an improvement on where we were yesterday?
