Latest Takeover Rumour. The Moores / Noell one

[degsy]

It will either be all our dreams come true or all our worst nightmares...knowing Everton, probably both at the same time.

If they redevelop Goodison and sack Martinez then I'm for it...just

I looked long and hard at the cheese on toast option

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.

I think that's a nice story. But the current owner (who is selling now) has pumped in more than the 30 MM promised and now he's reportedly selling the club for... 30MM. It's quite possible that the club wasn't worth more than £10 when he bought it.

Something big has changed from them offering £30 million for a % of swansea to offering £200 million for Everton within the space of a year. It'll be interesting who the members of the consortium are, especially those on "this side" of the antlantic.

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!

But how to teach a Scouser the correct pronunciation of Coors Light. Probably a @mezzrow job.

Actually once you have agreement from the Board to sell, you only need pick up another 7% of the shares which would give you 75%. Once you have 75% a scheme of arrangement gives you the remaining shares.

Just woken up so apologise if this is a bit woolly-headed.
I get it that 100% takeover is the target and this is the only certain way of acheiving it in practical terms, but could this not be a PR disaster for the new owners?
I mean, your first action as a majority shareholder is going to High Court to buy the minority out seems a bit drastic.
Would have thought that if the board recommend the deal, and Grantchester, Estate of Sir PC, Arthur Abercromby, Willy Russell, Keith Tamblin Cliff Finch and Jimmy Mulville all sell up, you'd be up around 87/88% mark, so you only need 20% of the remaining shareholders to hit 90% at which point the minority an almost be ignored as long as you don't act in a way that prejudices them.

Edit - story just over 24 hours old and already discussing if it's a good idea to go to court to oust the minority!!!
May not get past due diligence for God's sake

Oh god...how would they say that? Would it include an unnecessary 'u' and 'ium'?

Good to see the poll results so far. It's prudent to see all the options on the table with takeover as the more you look into these lids the worse the feedback gets.

We need to change ownership so it's being reported there's multiple options on the table, I hope all with merit are explored.

I don't want new carpet baggers anywhere near Everton.

Oi! This is my part of the fence you're sitting on. Find your own.

+1. We need the right people. I don't know whether these fellas are right or not, but let's hope Bill and the Board do what's right for Everton on their way out, and not what suits them.

I just got all excited and voted yes, probably will for any other interested parties that may come forward.
Naive perhaps but NEA, just intrigued by the stirrings.

So the club is valued at circa £200mil now ?

With the TV money and other revenues that appears to be a cheap price...

How much would a new stadium cost approximately as that appears to be the only benefit for bringing in these American chaps...

Seems a strange time to sell if it isnt about a stadium..

 

[Screech]

300m, the 200m is for the 3 primary shareholders to be bought out

 

[hibbo'sclass]

In fairness, that's the chair of the shareholders association who has seen no proposal saying that.
It would also mean that the value of the club had increased by about 75mil in the time since the Kansas consortium were looking when the value of the club was reported at 225 mil tops.
I personally think that the cash price will be nearer 200 than 300 mil but it's a wait and see job really.

Why mate ?

In the grand scheme of things it really isn't important.

The repetition, the modus operandi, the disassociation from supporters.

On these boards you see how much people place and attach and invest so much of themselves into Everton FC, and these situations display how irrelevant they are to the business. It's a game, not what happens on the pitch, but off it.

I stopped being concerned with it a while back. There's their Everton and there's my Everton, our Everton, as long as we remember that none of it really matters. Fk 'em.

Man city lark is getting us all wanting some sort of global everton enterprise thing. Just wanna see everton win some cups
