Very, here's the link to the story
http://www.thedaisycutter.co.uk/2011/10/cutter-exclusive-new-everton-owners-announced-this-week/

The Cutter understands that an Indian consortium is in the process of finalising a deal to buy a controlling share of Everton FC with the buyout at such an advanced stage that it may even be announced sometime this week.

Our source revealed that the consortium of businessmen had no prior intention of investing in the club and indeed had no previous knowledge even of its existence until they flew over recently to conclude a complicated three-way transaction for a forty-acre land deal in the city.

Once in the UK they learnt about the Merseyside club that has huge potential but is crippled by a reported £45m debt and a ground issue that has proved to be a sticking point in past negotiations with suitors. The consortium shown sufficient interest to be courted by the Everton board of directors and, though Chairman Bill Kenwright has been notoriously resistant to selling his beloved football club to anyone he didn’t deem suitable, it seems they have passed the criteria he has set.

If the Cutter is wrong about this we are willing to publish a full retraction and apology along with a full-page picture of Tim Cahill punching a corner flag. For this particular journo that will hurt.

If our information is correct however it appears that a fantastic historic club might finally be close to achieving financial security.

Bolding mine for emphasis of satirical remarks.

Seriously?

Well, I know I'm a fool but I can't help but get my hopes up when I read something like that. Even though the story seems sketchy at best. If someone knows that this website is bollox, please put me out of my misery.

Well, if any website ever needed to be added to the frivolous list, this would be the one.

Liverpool grafter Dirk Kuyt believes opposition fans dislike him because he is “rich, handsome and a great player”. The wideman has come in for some rough treatment down the years by opposition fans and players alike prompting Kuyt to offer his own assessment.
“People are envious of me,” he spluttered through his mashed-up teeth. “I don’t have any other explanation.”

That was posted in fake news. This story was not.

I love where they say that the indian lads were in Liverpool to buy other land and just so happened to stumble across Everton being for sale and decided it worth be worth an investment even with the 45m debt.

What a crock of sh*t!!

What you on about? Don't you know anything about business? This sort of thing happens everyday - you don't need due diligence etc... deals are written on the back of fag packets (little known fact - these became legally binding documents during the post-war depression in britain, owing to a shortage of paper, and quills). This quirk of law has never been repealed since. Also - indians are notorious for randomly turning up in foreign cities and making massive investments in ailing organisations - the TATA company actually owns Coca Cola, and Mars - as these were in danger of going out of business last year.

Now, where's me bleach...?
