Takeover bid by Peter Kenyon

[Noisy noise annoys]

Oh mate I don’t doubt it, but I’m just curious how anyone would plan to make money off us. Goodison can’t be worth much, BM is a building site and we have a squad of high earners who don’t wanna leave coz nobody will pay what they are on here. The situation is pretty dire as it is.

Agreed, but if you put all the debt on to the club, ALL the assets are yours, cost free. I cannot think of a single Anerican owned club where the owner doesn't rinse it. I am sure there are some but I do not know them. THis is business to them, Glazers,FSG etc all made huge sums from their clubs. Mosh, not a penny.

4 parties make approaches to buy Everton and end Moshiri’s disastrous ownership

Most progress has been made with a consortium led by controversial former Manchester United and Chelsea CEO Peter Kenyon, whose group includes a gold mining billionaire

The next partygate

Doubt Maddock has a clue.

For a start he claimed that Thornton is a mining billionaire when he isn't he's a millionaire who ran a mining company worth billions...

I mean in fairness, he probably is a billionaire, and will likely have some of the equity of that business given his position.

Can’t argue with that mate. Let’s see how it plays out, doubt moshiri cares who we get sold too tbh

That's my feeling. Richard Keys has said there is middle Eastern interest before.

I seem to remember a couple of Americans early buying the club, before Moshiri swooped in. Could it happen again?

The only other thing I'd say, is they may well have agreed a price, and be doing diligence.

I dont see Everton being particularly attractive to a raider/culture. Theres no cash on the balance sheets, and it loses money. Theres not really a quick leveraged turnaround here.

Was there at Burnley?

"The estimated Net Worth of John L Thornton is at least $3.76 Million dollars"

The other bloke named by Law apparently nearly went bankrupt a decade ago.

Honestly hope this doesn't happen mate nothing good about these fellas at all.

I’m honestly scared this could be the end of us.

DCL missing that header could have been the end of us.

I think three things are already clear now that this development has been reported.

1. Moshiri and Kenwright have utterly failed and need to go.
2. Moshiri knows that he needs to go - for financial reasons - and is open to selling.
3. This particular American consortium does not pass the smell test with their links to Trump, Bannon, and iffy Chinese activities.

So, as far as I am concerned, I can't see this one going through (not enough in it for Moshiri) and I wouldn't want it to go through. If we must have utterly unsavoury owners, they could at least be preposterously rich and should be willing to splurge a la Man City or Chelsea. Otherwise, no point in being asset stripped by Trump's mates.

If nothing else MEGA makes for a better hat than MAGA

He’s Canadian

hhmmm am not too sure.

To make it worse why is this happening in the summer after we just escaped relegation? That’s just what we need when trying to rebuild to stay in the prem, a whole new board and owners, who knows if we can spend or not now?

 

[Brownie]

Hopefully Jimmy the richest Briton will roll in and make a wild offer like he did for Chels.

If we hadn’t escaped relegation the prospects would have been far grimmer.

The stop oil guy will be straight out to buy some more tie wraps if that happens.
