The Everton Board Thread

[Oasis1878]

Nobody seems to know. They’re apparently very private individuals whose personal wealth isn’t known in the public domain. There’s plenty of reasons, some rather obvious, why they’d keep that sort of information to themselves. A lot of mystery surrounds them with the Polish born fella in particular who like to keep a low profile. They could be absolutely minted and the best thing that’s ever happened to us, or they could be a disaster. NONE of us know at this point. One person who will know, is Moshiri. We can only hope he’s been here long enough to actually care that the new owners would be good for us going forward, and not just sell to anyone who gives him a fair price.

Let’s hope so. All good having billions spare to pump in, but if we’re ran how we are now it means nothing!

All for change of ownership. Just not to a bunch of cowboy property owners who think with a bit of US of A sparkle it'll unlock a financial goldmine for them.

Just look at what the new Chelsea owner has been saying. That Super League idea isnt the only trick up their sleeves trust me

PPV is gonna be coming in strong.
I have absolutely no doubt about it. Why let sky sports have £40 a month, or whatever it is, when you can take that for yourself.
Netflix style model, and keep the advertising revenue as well. It's gonna happen.
Can see a time, not so far off where PL clubs will be swimming in money.

Bet we will see them buy rights to other leagues as well.
£10 a month? For all the football you would ever want. It's coming.
It would smash to pieces other sports, mind. Probs see the demise of Sky Sports as we know it.

I don't get to as may games as I would like. But I would certainly pay a couple of quid a week to watch every Everton game at a time that suited me. That's where the money is. Plus the advertising. License to print money.

Utter baloney that Telegraph story. Has been from the start.

There may well be a takeover because of the necessity to get investment and build the stadium, but I'm almost 100% sure the Kenyon/Thornton/Kaminski consortium is utter tripe designed to drum up interest or commit another interested party to get serious.

….do you think the story of them visiting FF & BMD with their sons is untrue?

Its just that I remember you saying the rumour of us being interested in Andros Townsend was baloney.

I think the bigger question here is whether you'll give them your full support, as you did Moshiri in his quest to destroy Everton.

….I never get this ‘give them your full support’ statement. I’m not even sure what it means. I don’t pretend to know anything about how good or bad this consortium will be, i‘m not for or against it.

I’ll judge any owners by what they do for the club. I liked Moshiri being here because of his investment but his mis-management of the club became increasingly apparent and then he appointed Benitez!!

My question to you was genuine; if you think the story of this takeover is baloney, is the recent report of them visiting FF and BMD with their sons false?

Yes because you buy smarter. Good example is buying the next Harry Winks not the current one. Instead of paying 40m for Sigi buy the next Sigi and then turn a profit on him.

We spent 500m and we have 2/3 players we could realistically sell for a large profit

I just don't see any reason to believe that the club will suddenly get smarter in its dealings. If anything, this only reduces the chances of some of what they throw at the wall happening to stick.

Not if you change the people in control to competent people.

If you employ decent board members and get an owner who doesn’t interfere all the time

And you really think a bloke from the Real Estate games 30 year old trust fund son qualifies as a decent board member who will get the right people in?

Wake up man !!

I think that's what they want but I don't think it will happen because of how complicated it will all be (and a huge investment in infrastructure).

They want their club's fanbase to pay a subscription fee for their individual games, not spread across a league.

The amount of money made from United charging their international fanbase £9.99 to watch their games live would make them an astronomical amount of money.

The issue though is... Brighton for example would fall way down, TV money would dwindle, and it changes the whole ecosystem of European football. At the moment the tv money is spread across the league, club's makes money outside of that how they want.

You may as well have a European Super League like they've wanted.

And the "Netflix" model is a debt riddled hole. Even the NFL gamepass doesn't have live games in the states (they're replays straight after the game) where as internationally, they're live.

Basically...if would be the international fanbases that will benefit. Not us.

Add this to the long list of great achievements from Farhad..

Six years since his takeover and were losing our best players to Spurs and scraping around on the bargain basement
