Really? Leaving aside the bizarre comment about Americans (do you have a lot of examples of Americans asset-stripping football clubs?), how could they possibly make an easy profit from asset stripping? The only assets Everton has that can actually be stripped are the players, and you aren't going to make more than £200 million selling them.

We could easily get 200m if we sold every player in the squad.
Lukaku, Stones, Barkley could potentially recoup 150m alone.
It's a bit like working hard to pull a half decent bird compared to paying for a very attractive hooker. I know which one I would rather spend the night with.

Well perhaps "asset stripping" is the wrong term but its late here...
Other than Lerner i think every US owner i can think of has actually loaned the clubs money for high interest and also borrowed against future revenues and paid themselves from it.....Lerner is the only one who has put his own money in and written off loans.
Think you get the gist of my point...
An Asian owner could go one way or the other based on what ive seen....some of the unknown chaps in China for example have huge amounts of money but are relatively unknown....someone like that who had a passion for football would be ideal as would an Arab who wanted to boost his image etc etc
Americans are businessmen....thats fine but theres a risk that they will want to take a profit no matter the long term implications for the fans...
If they bought for £200mil...sold off Lukaku / Stones /Barkley for £200mil for example and replaced with Aston Villa type dross they could still put the club up for £50-100mil and make a profit.
Simplistic examples but they could easily sell players and sell the club at a profit.

Clearly the hooker as the half decent girl will continue to asset strip you every day you are with her whilst the beautiful hooker boosts your image in public and so your value increases amongst other women and also jealous men.
In terms of a takeover though its a marriage and we need to find Love rather than romance.

Problem is you might end up waiting 30 years to get balls deep in the good stuff...
5 trophies you said, so its a night with 5 top class hookers or spending 6months trying to get into some birds pants and thats after you aint seen any action for 20years.
I doubt many wouldnt pick the brass.
If I'm still getting balls deep in 30 years time, it will be worth it
1 night with 5 brass, or a lifetime of good sex with one decent bird. I doubt many would pick the brass.
I fear this may be going off topic however.........

If i had the money;
1-- Buy the club for £200mil
2-- Speak to Martinez and see what players he would need to have a potential title winning squad on a 5 year plan.
3-- Buy up as many assets as possible such as training ground etc
4-- Build a new stadium and surrounding land for hotels etc
5-- Bring in a Peter Kenyon type to boost merchandising and also a top marketing guy to build a brand name (see things like the rocky movie)
Thats what i would do as a fan...increase the assets and therefore value of the club and build a global brand
The thing with us is that we have huge potential but are a relative baby with a clean slate on the global level...founding member of the league etc etc won a load of titles....need to capitalise on this as a sleeping giant.
Need to be successful here but also play exciting football to get there.

How much would the girl of 30 years cost you....
For the same price you could have a different hooker every week...
I think a better example would have been getting one trophy under Kenwright is the equivilent of becoming a self made businessman rather than inheriting a business from family...
5 trophies rather then one would be brilliant but a much better feeling to earn one rather than do a man city and buying 5.
