The Takeover Rumour Thread.

[ijjysmith]

To be fair, Earl goes to more games than me.

Have we been taken over yet?

At the risk of being lazy and not wanting to go through 27 pages, does anyone really have an idea as to this Jain Group's financial viability? I only have seen vague mentions of it, would like to know before I get on the "Kenwrong Out" bandwagon.

The BU is has always been an irrelevance. This is about big finance. The echo article has done a really bad job of damping down expectations because whatever the outcome, all i've got out of this is that this rumour has some legs. Unfortunately, if due diligence is involved we have a long way to go. And hopefully, Everton can keep it a little bit quiet until the outcome - good or bad.

It was always going to be the case that any takeover wouldn't be announced tomorrow. I think the Echo article is Greg's attempt at warning people that this won't happen tomorrow, or the next day or the day after that. It's a long and complex process. He has said himself he wasn't allowed to quote anyone directly which is perhaps why the article leaves more questions than answers.

I'm just not sure where the potential to make money is for a potential investor. The amount they'd have to spend to guarantee champions league football for a period long enough to turn it into an overall profit is massive. The real money for an investor is in getting your championship teams into the premiership and reaping the rewards financially..

The real money for an investor in the case of the Indian company in question isn't in the club itself, it's in the fact owning the club raises their profile in the UK and gives them a chance to try and establish football in India. Sometimes the rewards aren't as immediately clear or tangible.

just about spot on , I'm not decrying the BU , they made the right noises at the right time and opened a debate between fans but this has gone further now , I believe meetings have taken place and more a due to take place , this is nowhere near dead in the water but at the positive talking stage

Spot on. If an Indian company buys Everton they will make a fortune out of developing football in India.....
