Looking that way.
As I said above, it's a slight relief that Thornton ISN'T the main person behind the money.
(granted, I know nothing about Maciek Kaminski, but he's not Thornton so he's off to a flyer.)

Problem is he over sees the positions who made these decisions. I don’t dislike him I just think he hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing and that’s very dangerous for our football club. He should be smart enough to realise the people who are advising him are the people he should be firing.

The Peter Kenyon-led consortium bidding to buy Everton have secured an exclusivity agreement for talks aimed at clinching a deal.
Telegraph Sport revealed on Monday that Kenyon is fronting a group, including chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate Maciek Kaminski and American businessman John Thornton, trying to buy Everton.
Heads of terms have been signed and it is understood that Kenyon’s group have agreed a period of exclusivity to hold detailed talks with Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and to carry out due diligence on the club.
Everton and Kenyon’s group have declined to comment on the talks, which have been described as “positive”. Telegraph Sport understands that, while the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive is fronting the group, Kaminski is providing the greatest financial weight behind the bid.
Kaminski is said to be a very private individual and it is unclear whether his wealth is personal or if he has secured funding through his business interests.
Attempts to contact Kaminski, who was born in Poland and immigrated to the United States aged eight, have so far been fruitless but a source told Telegraph Sport: “Kaminski is the money behind the bid. There is not a lot of information out there about him, but the word is he has significant funding behind him.”
Sources believe that, should a deal be agreed, then Everton will be sold for more than £500 million, including the club’s debt, while any new owners would also have to fund the new £500m stadium.
Kenyon has been advising clubs and prospective owners for a number of years from his base in Jersey. His company Opto Advisers have been involved with the transformative takeovers of Paris Saint-Germain and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has worked with Atletico Madrid and Middlesbrough, and was involved in a bid to buy Newcastle United.
He is not thought to be in line to earn any commission on the purchase of Everton and the current expectation is that Kenyon would take a role as part of any new ownership.
Thornton is the executive chairman of Barrick Gold, one of the world’s largest mining companies with a net worth of £31 billion, and non-executive chairman of PineBridge Investments, having stepped down as co-president of Goldman Sachs in 2003.
The consortium’s bid is being advised by investment specialist Michael Klein, along with the US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges. Klein was an adviser to the Sir Martin Broughton-fronted bid to buy Chelsea. The group made the final shortlist

Yeah i get this but I’m pointing out that we’ll be extremely fortunate to end up with a billionaire owner or consortium that doesn’t have any tie whatsoever to a practice we find abhorrent. Great if that is the case but I doubt Moshiri is going to be bothered where he gets his money from (considering he built a career alongside Usmanov)

Peter Kenyon clearly isn’t perfect but who honestly is? What he’s got in his favour is that he’s managed two very successful football clubs whilst in those roles. Unless anyone knows of him failing at Utd & Chelsea?
I don’t believe that was the case? He’s already got far more football/ business acumen then both Bill & Moshiri

Things have developed very quickly since the story broke. I'd say this is more than likely to happen now. Ukraine has proved the end of Moshiri at Everton.
Even with FFP I don't otherwise believe a sale ahead of completion of BMD would have been countenanced. Events have forced his hand here, and forced the pace of developments.
These people will have no truck with Kenwright and the board, they'll all be out, there is no doubt about that. I don't see Kenyon coming on board in an official role, but he'll be kingmaker for the CEO job as to who gets it. The Chairmanship won't be given the same importance I wouldn't think. But we do need experienced leaders within football business to take up positions.

He is probably also going to sail off over Arabia in a money filled flying mattress once this deal is complete.
