The Everton Board Thread

[DualityNSNO]

I mean that's yet another complete misunderstanding/just plain wrong take but I don't want to derail the thread so we'll leave it there.

Yes, you and only you have the correct and understood point of view and all the world experience and you're correct.

Sorry I'm wrong and we're wonderfully ran and have a great scouting division that keeps finding players.

The one thing i like about this is that we'd be the crowning jewel and have our own scouting network throughout Europe and South America via these other teams owned by 777.

KInd of like a Red Bull i suppose.

Agree with this, 777 have interests in Sevilla, Genoa, Hertha Berlin, Red Star, Standard Liege, Melbourne Victory and Vasco de Gama

That's a bold statement to make with blue tinted glasses. Yeah we're in the Premier League, for now. They've got a stake in Seville who are in a European Semi Final.

If we go down do you honestly think our "brand" is worth more to them than Seville's?

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

I’m taking this as hugely positive news. It means a credible sports investment company has ploughed through Everton’s finances and decided that despite the poor performance of the playing team and the board, and the impending financial investigation, that they still see a way of making a successful return on their money. That would give me far greater hope for the future- even if we end up going down this season- knowing that there are people in charge who have a plan to turn things round.

Or they are absolute maniacs that are about to buy a multi hundred million pound business that may or may not get its value slashed by relegation, AND is currently on the hook for a penalty for which there is zero precedent at all, and zero documented minimum and maximum punishment. Totally unknown.

How on earth they have valued the acquisition on that basis is very very odd. Our value if we stay up and get a mild telling off is a couple of hundred million more than if we go down and get a 12 point deduction and 1 year transfer ban.

I’ve been a part of acquisitions where the price is contingent on the next 2 years profit (sadly this usually requires the incumbents to stay on and assist in integrating the business, so the better it’s integrated, the more they get when they leave after 12 months etc). We do not want that at all. But the potential variation in the clubs worth at this precise moment is staggering.

I’ve seen large potential acquisitions falter because a particularly invasive weed was found in the customer car park, and the cost of its permanent removal is completely uncertain.

Well no mate, once again you’re just proving the fact you’re not understanding. I’m not quite sure how anybody could look at posts saying ‘they’ve implemented it really badly’ and ‘the recruitment has been dire’ and come away thinking ‘this bloke reckons we’re really run and the scouting is great’ but you appear to have managed it. You’re replying to me as if my viewpoint is the exact opposite of what it is, I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to do at that point?

Nothing like Red Bull, these people hold minority stakes.


There will be no mates rates.

 

[kenada_blue]

I'll add to your last sentence. It'll just be a normal stable club always languishing in the bottom half and hoping to go on some sort of cup run.

Which is what we've been for large chunks of the premiership.

Don't forget Moyes punched above his weight, Martinez piggy backed off him...and the rest is expensive failures.

A couple years of a steady midtable side producing some talent would be a breath of fresh air.

In Hertha they have 64.7%, 99.9% of Genoa, 100% of Liege, 70% of Vasco from a quick google.

Edit: 100% of Red Star too.

Lots of talk of "vertical integration" on the sports portfolio section of the website too. Seville at 15% is the only minority position I can find.

“How much you got?”

Oh right.

I just guessed, never heard of these fellas and cba googling them.

 

[Blue peter]

I suspect this won’t be a full takeover….not sure how it could possibly be given the uncertainty (league / punishment if guilty) and how much Moshiri would want, but it may be a % stake enough to fund or partly fund the stadium, akin to what was reported for MSP, with seats on the board, with a view to a full takeover in the near future.

but there might be some half decent accidental scouting

I see what you did there

They want to increase their stake in Sevilla too, but they’re finding it difficult
