[wolf277]

Aside from by 20 year olds who scored one good goal in the FA Cup.

could see that coming and was ducking for twenty minutes in anticipation

This thread has a kipper-like feel to it

That's a pretty high post rate for me -- I have an account on 2+2 forums (poker) for 10-11 years and I've posted maybe five times.

57 posts on 2+2 in 3 years for me. They just don't appreciate casual homosexuality and pastie references anywhere near as much over there...

I guess at this point it is nothing more than Chinese whispers...

im sure you guys have already read the article on the swiss ramble about why everton havent been sold, if not google "everton sale swiss ramble".. i would insert a link but cos of my newb status i cant post links til i have 20+ posts.

but anyway, hopefully these "chinese investors" havent bothered their arses to get it translated..

for me, to reiterate whats been said by others, i'd rather carry on as things are than become anything like city have in the last couple years. plus things'll change when you're only allowed to spend what you earn.

For the first time ever, I do not want any takeover. The reason is simple. Peoples Republic of China. Don't want the club to have anything to do with them, ever!

Not gonna read 115 posts as this sums it up right here.

Good post Axlshwk (still waiting for the pronunciation...)

If chinese take over, I am out. I will go and support Leeds.

Taken from wikipedia

Sir Philip Green (born 15 March 1952) is a British billionaire businessman who owns some of the United Kingdom's largest retailers, including the Arcadia Group. He is Britain's ninth richest person with assets worth around £4.43bn in 2008

Asset stripping
There have also been accusations that Philip Green is an asset-stripper as seen with his experiences with Owen Owen and the purchase of the UK arm of Etam which have seen a wide sell-off of stores. Philip Green denies this accusation.

Marks and Spencer, has been the target of three unsuccessful takeover bids from Green.

This is interesting

Football involvement
He is a keen football fan and is a Tottenham Hotspur supporter.[14] In 1987 he suggested to Irving Scholar the Spurs Chairman that Tony Berry be appointed to the board.[15]
In 1991 he helped Terry Venables raise the last £500,000 needed purchase shares in the club.[15]
He was also involved in the transfers of Rio Ferdinand from Leeds United and Louis Saha from Fulham to Manchester United.[15]
He is heavily involved with Everton Football Club due to his friendship with chairman Bill Kenwright, but has no intention of formally investing in the club.[16] He arranged for another friend, Planet Hollywood's owner Robert Earle to purchase shares from former director Paul Gregg during a struggle for control of Everton in 2004.[17] He offers business advice to the club alongside Tesco CEO Terry Leahy and helps negotiates player transfer fees with agents.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Green#cite_note-guardianarticle-17
