Takeover rumour

I really hope so, Dave. I do have a soft spot for Bill, and I am convinced that he does want what's best, but he's got it so wrong with Kirkby.

As soon as it goes tits up, we can finally look at what's been staring us in the face, which is a slow redevelopment of Goodison. We haven't got the £100m for Kirkby anyway, and I can't see one of the financial institutions bankrolling it at the moment. Plus, who wants to blow £100m (and it will be that much in the end) on a pre-fab in fcuking Kirkby? Not me.

If Destination Kirkby fails there'd be relief at first, then the anger and recriminations would begin. I know he's teflon man and that lots of people still like him, but I dont see how Bill, after two failed stadium attempts and wasting nine years and fcuk knows how much money on KD and DK, could credibly remain in power. He has his shares, of course, so he'd be going nowhere in the short term if that suited him. But that stadium issue would still be the major project that needs sorting and Bill would be a laughable front man for such a project. How could he now (and his CEO for that matter) launch a Goodison redevelopment after blackguarding every single attempt to argue that case? And as for a build elsewhere in Liverpool, that'd require a level of confidence in Kenwright from partners in the public sector that simply doesn't exist (in fact, he and the last pair of CEO chuckleheads he's employed have burnt those bridges a long tme ago).

Let's hope it is about to go in the dustbin of history and investors with vision, clout and the club's well being in mind are waiting to make their move.
