Mystery Takeover?

[GrandOldTeam]

Everton are the target of a takeover bid by a mystery South African businessman. (People)

Tell you what, if it develops it would be interesting to see some of the TW lot reaction to this.

 

[Namdrater]

YES ITS ME, IM THE SOUTH AFRICAN BUSINESSMAN!
But more seriously, if it was anyone in the world, I would definitely want him to be South African!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I'm sure the TW'ers could dig up some old apartheid link or dodgy diamond trading practice or something to discredite the poor bloke

I bet you its the bum that part owed Manny, he is supposedly looking for a prem club to take over, as far as I'm concerned he can get lost, his back ground is a lot less than honest:angry:

 

[Ct jr.]

Is it Nelson Mandela? That would be fantastic! It would make a nice retort to Man city's Thai embezzler/criminal owner.

 

[Cal]

It's Pienaars 3rd cousin

Supposedly this is the guy...

Maybe TX Bill could fill us in a bit, as they are apparently in the same industry?

Sorry but no.

Don't know much about them at all.

This is the fella who is organising the takeover.

Has a personal fortune of 700 million.

Get him in and get the money spent but i bet its bollocks the sunday papers will be filling in their spaces now there is no transfer window

Just to clarify, just because someone valued at £700 million is said to be interested in buying the club doesn't mean Moyes will have £700 million to spend in January.

Unless he goes trading at Crufts...

 

[bluewoo]

Always expected any takeover to come from a bit closer to home. Phil Green or Terry Leahy maybe... how about Sly Stallone?

 

[Robert Jarvis]

Load of bleeding cobblers, absolute nonsense. how can anyone read anything into this, he is not a billionaire and therefore not rich enough. To beat all, the last words are "Committed Evertonian" ffs, what bullshit.

Never happen. Close this stupid and meaningless thread.

I just hope that if we are taken over, its by someone with standards and are looking to long term commitment to the club and not like the guys who have taken over the barcodes or Man city.
