Kevin Malone former LA Dodgers manager leading a consortium to buy Everton, this story is gathering pace.

{Ed002's Note - This was dealt with a couple of weeks ago.}

16 May 2024 12:19:00
Would not have thought a couple of months ago that we would be 15th in the league and a whopping 14 points above the drop zone before our last game this weekend, a massive thanks to Sean and the lads for how they turned our season around, looking forward to the window and the season coming up, COYB.

16 May 2024 13:19:25
Yano something Guernsey i honestly fought hand on heart we would get relegated mate with the style of play the late subs and players not putting shifts in yes its nice be 5 undefeated but the set up is absolutely shocking in our current circumstances with ffp-psr i would keep dyche the question is if we do loose pickford onana braithwaite dcl do we trust dyche an thelwell to get sensible replacements for the players i mentioned am not so sure but hey ho just my opinion.

14 May 2024 22:31:38
Spurs boss 'where you finish in the league is a fair reflexion of where you were at'. In our case absolutely not a fair reflexion.

15 May 2024 06:02:56
The 8 points deducted will also cost us millions in prize money due to our league position. The knock on effect of that means we are under more pressure to avoid further sanctions next year, which doesn’t seem really fair to me.

15 May 2024 09:38:35
Should be sanctions against the owners in fines, not points against the team.

15 May 2024 12:00:53
But it is the Clubs (by default owners) that voted for points deductions. Not from their pockets.

15 May 2024 12:55:36
The loss in prize money could be seen as a double penalty.

15 May 2024 17:11:27
It's is absolutely a double whammy as said, the extra league positions increases the revenue and obviously arguably it's definitely an extra penalty. However the rule and threat of a points deduction is like a nuclear capability. It's not meant to ever be used as it should scare the sh9t out of clubs to abide by the effing rules. So I don't buy into this point as a double bolloqin. We got what we deserved though the process and timing is arguably not well structured.

14 May 2024 19:53:41
It seems fairly obvious Moshiri is purely a front man for Osmanov, who apparently has been spoon feeding the funding the required cash injections, through 777, obviously to protect his investment in our club under cover of his puppet Moshiri.
It appears he still has designs to run EFC albeit at arms length through extending the exclusive agreement to. 31May.
Its time a thorough investigation takes place to establish the traceable links behind all this financial subterfuge.
If Moshiri is a skilled accountant he would never allowed this total financial debacle to have taken place.
All shareholders, committees and poweful political figures, and indeed the EFL, should band together asap to bring an end to this absolute fiasco.

{Ed025's Note - they are too clever for that Fancy..

15 May 2024 09:40:08
Don’t you just love conspiracy theories.

15 May 2024 11:27:42
Have a feeling you may be right mate.

15 May 2024 19:44:58
Harlex so it maybe but one thing is certain these people are more powerful than some Countries. Sanctions don't hurt them but people/ things around them. Banks are not going to refuse their money and others be it Country or individuals always step in to profit/ influence/ gain power/ influence from the supposed vacuum created by sanctioning Countries. In short those Sanctioned have not gone away.

16 May 2024 06:18:06
But isn’t that how the rich get richer DFS?

14 May 2024 17:16:31
It has been reported now on SkySports that Moshiri has given 777 until the 31st of May to complete the takeover or he will seek an alternative buyer.

Might aswell give them until July pal, or maybe August if they don't meet that deadline. Or even an unlimited deadline, it's not like it will impact on our summer business or those guys who buy season tickets every year to watch the club gradually crumble because of your total incompetence you absolute prxck. Get the f out of our club now.

14 May 2024 17:56:33
And don’t forget another 8 months before it gets the go ahead.

14 May 2024 19:23:07
Exactly SC. never ending circus. 777 have removed Wander and the other bloke from sports division, so Moshiri probs thinks they doing things better. It is the same business at the end of the day. Corrupt company. Want them nowhere near our club.

14 May 2024 13:04:18
Worrying if administration comes in b4 weekend, we could be docked 9 points unless I'm mistaken!

{Ed002's Note - It is not going to happen before the weekend.}

14 May 2024 13:43:07
How so Tomtom?

Even if we were docked 9 points, which Ed has already advised won't be the case, we still would not be able to be caught by Luton and would therefore finish out of the rallies.

14 May 2024 15:39:45
I asked a similar question a couple of weeks ago Ed said it didn’t work like that, it’s not up to us to say when any points deduction would be taken mate.

14 May 2024 16:43:47
OK as I said, I may have been mistaken. Not really understanding all this, thanks all ?.

14 May 2024 17:57:17
Nor me mate it’s definitely rocket sense.

12 May 2024 19:29:37
Any truth in the rumours Usmanov is behind the 777 proposed takeover.

{Ed002's Note - No, someone is teasing you.}

12 May 2024 20:26:57
Thought so cheers Ed.

12 May 2024 20:55:09
That’s brilliant! ?.

13 May 2024 08:36:25
? oh dear.

14 May 2024 06:20:04
Any thought on the idea he isn't out of the picture completely would be my theory GB. Of course it is only a guess.

14 May 2024 08:45:53
That was my thinking too DFS.

14 May 2024 10:29:14
So you think Usmanov is behind 777 taking us over GB?

14 May 2024 15:40:51
No? read the posts.

14 May 2024 17:10:28
I have GB, hence why I asked mate. Made no sense. DFS thinks Usmanov is still in picture and could be behind it and you agreed. ?.

14 May 2024 17:58:25
I think Usmanov is not totally out of it, only my opinion buddy.

15 May 2024 09:45:17
Usmanov has become an American citizen, lost 10st and changed his name to Josh Wander. He wears the hat as a disguise.

15 May 2024 11:28:25
Love it Harlex.

11 May 2024 12:11:30
A Premier League club, one of only 20, long underperforming, with a new stadium and a soon to be lower salary budget, with large broadcast revenues, and an owner desperate to sell……. Everton will be purchased by someone more responsible than 777.

{Ed002's Note - When is this happening? How long will it take? The situation is not perhaps as simple as you think.}

11 May 2024 14:58:17
Everton would be an attractive option if it wasn’t for the many creditors waiting to be paid, and the costs of finishing the stadium. Won’t even go into players wages.

11 May 2024 21:31:01
We’ll be on sale with an owner happy to escape with the shirt on his back and most of the buttons.

12 May 2024 09:31:31
I can’t see an easy way out of this. Administration is a very real threat, which would be a disaster.

12 May 2024 11:47:47
Weirdly enough it could be the worst thing to happen for 777 given the amount they have already invested. So it's really in their best interest to make sure the club don't go into administration, even if they don't end up owning it.

12 May 2024 14:29:15
We are not going into administration.

12 May 2024 20:05:55
Did I say we were?

11 May 2024 09:10:52
Wander and Pasko removed from 777.

11 May 2024 13:35:16
Hopefully Dyche will join them as unemployed soon to GB ???.

11 May 2024 14:08:41
They wouldn’t get rid of their Ace in the Pack mate, they will be listening to the majority of fans that want him, I hear he’s just signed a new contract to stay at Everton indefinitely.

11 May 2024 14:37:23
As janitor?

11 May 2024 14:59:27
GB a couple of weeks ago you were all for him going mate. What’s changed?

11 May 2024 16:02:57
He’s our best option mate he’s kept us up and that was the b all and end all of it, I reckon he deserves it see what he does when we are rid of some players.

11 May 2024 16:11:39
GB jumps the fence better than a race horse lol. Because his mate SD has supposedly saved us, he thinks we should put up with the same dross next season. Then it will be in out in out in out again lol.

11 May 2024 16:51:39
When the footy was so poor Harlex I didn’t think Sean would stay but so pleased he turned it around mate with a very good end to the season so yeah give the guy a chance to show what he can do.

11 May 2024 17:48:04
Fair enough GB. I’m not convinced but I hope you are right mate.

11 May 2024 18:11:02
100 percent agree with gb. Yes football has been poor but he kept us up and by some margin, that was the mandate and he's passed with flying colours while contending with points deductions and had to galvanise the squad. He has got a squad of poor players giving a lot of percent therefore I'd like some continuity.

11 May 2024 21:36:43
Can’t argue mate he kept us up end of.

12 May 2024 11:48:46
He hasn't got a squad of poor players .

{Ed025's Note - that is subjective Brass..

12 May 2024 14:19:43
He will if we sell all our decent players though.

14 May 2024 06:22:22
Pastor removed? That's him stuffed then.

10 May 2024 20:34:05
Ed, can you tell me why Rights and Media would try and stop a takeover from MSP but not from 777? Do they believe with 777 there is a much bigger chance the debt is not paid back and they have collateral in the stadium? Would they also try and stop any other parties from trying to take over?

{Ed002's Note - Because the money owed to Rights and Media is secured against the assets of the club and if the debt owed to MSP is not repaid, they can take control of those assets. They don't want to become involved in any lengthy legal dispute.}

12 May 2024 13:00:24
Cheers ed, Makes sense from a business point of view. we really have done ourselves bad with all this crap. hope we can pull through and come out like a shiny new coin eventually.

09 May 2024 15:31:01
What's wrong with Quatar investment now for goodness sake there's good and bad in every nation including Britain, let's wait and see before dismissing them out of hand.

09 May 2024 15:42:53
Some things are more important than football GB and I'd rather we retain our principles and values as a club.

But you of course are entitled to your view and your right they is good and bad everywhere.

{Ed025's Note - i feel like breaking out into "Ebony and Ivory" now mocker.. :)

09 May 2024 15:53:21
Don’t know how you can say that Mocker MSP is half owned by an Iranian / American billionaire as for human bights as you say mate they have nothing to crow about either, there's good and bad in all Countries.

09 May 2024 15:48:37
Brilliant Ed??????.

{Ed025's Note - cheers mate..

09 May 2024 17:30:57
So you would welcome Qatari owners GB. Their stance on LBGTQ is prison sentences if caught. Are you homophobic too? I'll stick with an owner who can demonstrate the values that we at Everton support.

09 May 2024 18:00:34
At this level of financing, all money is dirty. It is the ridiculous nature of the modern sports world. I do not disagree with the moral concerns. It would, however, be difficult to find a truly white knight billionaire.

09 May 2024 18:23:57
You can carry with that Nick are you going to say Moshiri is in the same boat as he is Iranian, alsonThe MSP part owner is an Iranian / American it goes on and on mate not many are whiter than white.

09 May 2024 18:37:12
What has anybodies sexual preference got to do with a working mans sport? It is as bad as all that George Floyd bend the knee nonsense and that is why it was so poorly received for the most part. The game should be separate to any outside talking points.

How a nation decides to run things on their own land is absolutely nothing to do with me, you or in anyway related to football. I imagine they won't be concerned with enforcing their rules in a foreign country and will keep things strictly sports and business related.

09 May 2024 18:47:52
For me it isn't just the human rights tho it is a major contributing factor. I don't like how the Saudi's or Qatar is getting too heavily involved in sport in general, I know it's the way things are and where all the wealth is but it doesn't mean I after like or accept it, this is after all the UK and when a question is asked everyone has their right to express their views right or wrong and long may that continue.

09 May 2024 16:09:41
I say that GB because it is my opinion. I was asked a question by a fellow poster and answered it. Simple.

It doesn't represent the club or city in my opinion. others will agree others won't. Not a problem to me.

09 May 2024 19:02:47
Agree mates I don’t like all the things that are bad in these countries either but not all investors are in that bracket wherever they come from, sport and politics should never mix as you say Mocker everyone has their own say on how they interpret it long may we have a forum like this one where we can eh.

09 May 2024 19:16:48
I don't go against any of your comments. They are all valid and said in a free country that to a certain extent allows free speech. What I'm saying is we have a choice because we are Everton and have our values. That's all.

09 May 2024 19:41:48
Amen to that mate at the end of the day we all want the same, and that’s what best for Everton.

10 May 2024 14:24:30
What are you all fighting about?

Moshiri is Usmanov's puppet and Usmanov is a Russian oligarg (gangster)

All billionaires have tainted reputations

Just find me one who will invest 1-2 billion into Everton.

10 May 2024 19:21:20
BN1878. We had/ have a saying, when we take the knee there is a rifle at our shoulder. Same as all that raised fist nonsense, they have no clue absolutely none. It is rewriting history and all crap. Don't care what religion, skin or belief a idiot is still an idiot.
