"They obviously have their own interests at heart in even considering a takeover" - who doesn't have their own interests at heart?
Anybody who invests in anything expects to see a return. The best way to get a return is by making Everton more competitive on and off the pitch. If they do that, happy days.
We really need to wait and see what their plans are before writing them off.
I haven't written them off, merely expressed some reservations - no need to take umbrage. I make no bones about not liking their background, which you seem to have no qualms about.
The speed at which Moshiri is looking to exit the club should tell you he was nothing but a front for Usmanov and now that money has gone Farhad certainly is not going to use any of his own capital to prop the club up. Moshiri is a wealthy guy but its paper wealth not disposable cash, when you add in the costs of a stadium its beyond him and if he had to cough up for it all his own fortune would take a serious hit.

Exactly - we might not like the next guys but getting Moshiri and more importantly Usmanov right out of our club is more important than it's ever been, from a financial point for view but more importantly from a legal point of view - the Moshiri Usmanov relationship we know is cosy and under scrutiny and, while they've clearly taken steps to keep Usmanov formally away from the club, if it were ever proven that the power behind us and the money coming in was from a sanctioned individual we'd be in existential trouble.

Yeah sort of. It’s how they attempt to achieve the turn around that worries me. None of them apart from Kenyon are football people and these type of investors (in general) tend to rip businesses to the bare bones in order to make the books look good in preparation for the eventual sale and ROI.
Kenyon is a step up on any our directors or owners though. Depends how much they listen to him. If they are backing him to run the club then it makes sense. He is the advisor and the go to for the decisions with his experience.
The asset stripping is a concern but what assets do we have to strip? Buy now while the club isn’t at its peak, stabilise it, grow it and then when BMD is up and running the clubs value grows massively. Once we are at that point they may look to sell and at that point we may have mega rich buyers suited as the facilities will be top notch.
Even Chelsea is a similar buy in the means of they build a new stadium and they can shoot the value right up.
It’s Moshiri not giving a toss who or what clauses are in the deal that concerns me as much as anything. For all of Abramovich’s money and dodgyness of late, nobody can say he didn’t care about the club and he’s put things in place to ensure the clubs safety over 10 years.
Dont actually know the answer to that mate - I'm sure it could be arranged if @The Bobble preferred that but you can just click on his name and click postings to see all his posts. You can also follow him to get notifications etc.
