[royalblue66]

The Everton show is on Liverpool Bay TV in a min ... not sure if it's pre recorded or live, maybe something will get mentioned on there?

Hope they mention Bill Gates

Moshiri is not buying the club according to the Echo, he is buying a 75% stake. Maybe this mystery investor is the other 25% if it's going to be a complete takeover.

Its in the echo hes buying 75% ?

all confirmed?

I want a ruthless gangster in charge so I hope this is true

Been the nice guys too long .

Time to crack open this prime flake I've been saving and I'll sniff it using my machete .

Apparently wants to keep Kenwright on = 10 more years of Roberto. Thank goodness.

As if Kenwright would have any real say.

Goodison is to be renamed "The Mosh Pit" until a new stadium is built.

So if he buys out the current Everton owners, because Lord Grantchester will no longer be involved, does that mean we actually have an owner with less net worth?

Everton that.

We're moving to Mos-ley Hill, across the city

The other 25% is in the hands of minor shareholders and individuals and widely distributed. Doubt it means what you think it does, just means at this moment in time he is buying up the major shareholders in order to hold 75% of the club which has some meaning with regards to control and the running the club.

One reason for agreeing 75% is then pre-acquisition you can go to court for a scheme of arrangement to acquire 100%.
Another reason to hold 75% +1 share is that to all intents and purposes any resolution will be passed and the minority shareholders are left with little recourse unless you do something that is seriously detrimental to their interest.
The first option is the one that I would prefer.

It's about this time a new poster registers, ITK with solid knowledge of the new buyer, but can only give very limited info until the deal's signed. Who's turn is it ?

.........those Chinese New Year messages seem like a waste of time now.

For me it sounds like the Moshiri talk is just putting 2+2 together from the daily mails article yesterday on the mystery middle eastern buyer. Would be happy with this guy but at the same time would love it to be some mystery arab wealthy prince.

I knew it was something along those lines. Don't know a huge amount financially beyond what is common sense but had seen you and the Esk mention that figure of 75% as being important.
