The Everton cup

[Yarrgh]

Ratcliffe looks like a 'kin derelict.

Imagine having that scarecrow sitting in the director's box as the club's face to the world. I'd rather stick with our fake billionaire than have that bell end.

Hahaha. My first reaction to that photo of him, was if he can't afford a razor or haircut he really shouldn't be wasting his resources on money pits like football clubs. Then I realised I too need a haircut and have a shifty amount of facial growth and look like a bit of ratbag too.

But I'm skint, so can't even buy a decent club in France. Maybe I'll have a look at Belgian clubs - I see that Antwerp just got devalued by approximately 1 Mirallas - they should be cheap enough.

RS in my office (Im in London) mentions this EVERY time I talk to him, he wanders over and asks how we are doing in the Everton Cup this year with a grin on his face. I get it is supposed to mean the best of the rest ie 7th place for the past couple of season and 5th going back to the Moyes era, but the way he keeps bringing it up makes it seem like a massive insult to us so I don't even want us to win it!

That's what Moshiri should have done.

Tell him you only talk football with other football fans, not followers of an industrial scale killing machine.

I don’t think Everton would even win the Everton cup....


Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s company INEOS considered buying several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Newcastle, according to the billionaire’s brother.

Chemicals firm INEOS recently completed an £88.77million takeover of Ligue 1 Nice.

Prior to that purchase, the company looked at the possibility of buying a team in England’s top flight.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe looked at buying a Premier League club
Ratcliffe’s brother Bob, who heads up INEOS’ football division, told BBC Radio Five Live’s Sportsweek that it was ‘pretty difficult to rationalise purchases in the Premier League at this time’.

“We’d obviously been looking at Premiership clubs as well. We spent quite a lot of time looking at Premier League clubs,” Bob Ratcliffe said.

“We looked at the valuation of Premiership clubs and £5billion in revenues for the Premier League and the top six clubs are being valued at £2billion and upwards, and £450million of net profit before tax.

“It’s pretty difficult to rationalise purchases in the Premier League at this time for us and then, if you look below the top six, they’re all £150million and above and you’re going to write a cheque for £50million and get in the ‘Everton Cup’.”

NEA what some tramp thinks of Everton.


For a moment there I thought it read "Sir Jim Saville"....

Has a look of a sex case to him....

 

[gonetomorrow]

He can ram it for all I care.

 

[davids]

Sad his top cyclist played 'look Mum no hands' and kissed a wall And this season his team Ineos have won what?

Tbf, his top cyclist won the Tour de France - Egan Bernal. His second top cyclist did indeed have that horrific crash but good to see we can laugh at a British sporting legend breaking his leg, hip and ribs and ending up in intensive care because the billionaire owner of his team didn't want to overpay for a football club.

British? And Bernal is a Sky signing,so hardly an Ineos masterstroke.

I got this on fathers day it's quite a good cup - my GOT cup is a monument on the fireplace not to be used....

 

[blueblue]

Spending 89m to buy an ordinary club in a poor league and he thinks that is better value... not too many would agree.

Who is this legend?

When's the open top bus parade?

 

[Yarrgh]

Ineos have made a business of running dilapidated assets and flogging the life out of them. Not sure if that makes their business model a good thing or not for buying us. I doubt he even had the resources to contemplate us. I bet he thought he could pick up a Watford or the ilk, as cheap as chips and do a Leicester. Quite a pointless exercise - to win anything now you have to compete with City or break the world record in key positions like the rs.

Get to France.

Yes British. And you seem to be veering all over the shop here. First his “best rider” crashed out and his team won “nothing”. Then when pointed out his team (and best rider) won the biggest prize in cycling you move the goal posts and say it’s nothing to do with the team, it’s all because of the old owners. .
