Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[Big Fat Sam]

I'm up for the cheerleaders ... unless it's a cold day like.

Quality. Bring it on. Damn, I am pumped about it already.

I bet Bill puts a little asterix in the terms and conditions ensuring the Gwladys Street is renamed the 'Sir William Kenwright OBE Boys' Pen'.

Should get Vince McMahon on board, hell of a businessman.

Z Cars to be replaced by Thunder Kiss '65

Is this just to get the half season ticket sales up? Linked with Messi next week no doubt

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Hope Zcars is replaced with this, and the players all have to run out of the tunnel in such a fashion:

One thing that's been overlooked Is the fact it's a consortium Is arguably alot safer for the club's future than one single individual. Until the consortium's full personel/investment plans are revealed we won't know if this group will be positive or not but everything aside the current lot we have Kenwright who is skint, Earl who doesn't invest and Woods likewise.

I'm all for twisting rather than sticking, and if it goes wrong, well it didn't do City or Liverpool any harm having businessmen with contacts sell the club's on to Mansour and John Henry.

will they make us play with their oddly shaped balls?

It's a prolate spheroid, thank you very much.

I never really understood the fume against Kenwright and co. I felt they may have kept things a bit safe at times but trusted them not to go mad, its been a strange 10 years in football (finance wise) and in fairness I am glad the board kept things country at times.
Maybe I dont understand the business of football but I am seeing it as a business now.
I like to shout at Howard for being a statue or Osman for being a big girl or Marcus Bent for having treacle for a head but flying banners and protesting against the board is a bit like standing outside your in laws house throwing them V's through the window or farting in your own breakfast.
Not going to throw the "better the devil you know" out there but consortiums mean business , they invest to make money , if they dont they depreciate to sell at a sufferable loss.

Think about it , if you had 300million in the bank and you werent one of us (i.e an everton fan who stays up past his bedtime on forums) would you spend 200 million to buy us?
if you had 3 billion would you?
so wheres the incentive for them?

The question is what is the collateral?

 

[mezzrow]

It's the turd-brown kit that will disappoint.

Yep. And fish tacos for the pies. Goat will wither away.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Maybe. Who knows. I'm sure he's already had more from the club than he put in anyway, so he'll be sound with it having no worked. Now he's just after that payday.

None of the directors have taken a penny out of the club.

 

[mezzrow]

I just hope if they do takeover they can successfully lead us to the world series pennant and add another page to our storied history.

Get in line. Behind the little bear. Don't make me go all 1984 on the Padres. Steve Garvey... (spits, gets faraway looks in eyes)

These wounds are deep, dave. If you knew how deep, you'd understand.

 

[USABlue]

I want a big massive Costco next to the new stadium, corndogs and Coors Light at half time and cheerleaders lining the pitch pre-match. Get us a new shirt sponsor, preferably Reece's the chocolate brand, so they can replace throwing Everton mints (do they still do that?) with Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.

Get in. USA USA USA!

i know you're joking but peanut butter cups are ace.

Would also be satisfied with Butterfingers.

The FC Butterscotch Butterfinger Field.

 

[pfim]

No, shut up.

These would be majority shareholders whose interest it would be to move us forward and make the club as a whole more valuable.

Earl is in it for the payday TV deals and eventually selling up; he's never had any intention of us getting better.

By changing hands we'd have to invest and improve for the new guys to turn a profit. No problem with that.

Plenty of ways to profit from the club, they don't need to improve the on field performance.

None. The notion that a significant stockholder of a club would put the welfare of the club above his/her own financial goals is embarrassingly naive. And clubs like Chelsea only benefit from Abramovich's vanity because it just so happens that his goals and those of the club's supporters are temporarily aligned.

Have a read about Jack Hayward, he defied the wishes of his own family and sold Wolves for £1 on the condition Morgan invested the true value into the club.

When people call Kenwright the biggest blue of all this is the pedestal they put him on.
