dose anyone know what has happened to swan haven't seen him on here for a long wile eds any idea.

{Ed025's Note - i will check tomorrow to see if he has been banned muff, without knowing his IP its hard to check..

27 Feb 2016 22:13:53
sound just wondering thought he would of said something today of all days.

27 Feb 2016 23:31:21
Swans never recovered from us winning three games in a row. Spoil this whole season😀.

27 Feb 2016 23:55:49
ive a feeling you has too much stick here and bailed.

28 Feb 2016 01:57:45
Sabbatical I think. But probably banned lol

28 Feb 2016 09:40:40
woeburnblue, don't think that is it mate and don't think Swan is a big a critic of RM as I am to be fair and I am still here. You will note of late how RM is now covering his rear, such quotes as 'even if we win the FA Cup, this season would have been a failure' coming out of him is really something. I wish and hope with all my heart that our new 49.9 investor (astute business man by all accounts) either manages a. to buy the final .2 percent and/ or b. Sees the inadequacies of our present Manager and tells Bill that in no uncertain terms.

28 Feb 2016 12:41:48
Agree Dunc mate, and I hope he gets rid of the jobs for the boys that Bill let in for his nights out.

28 Feb 2016 15:57:04
Banter Dunc just banter. Hopefully a new owner will bring a change in humour on this site.

Is Ed002 swan by any chance.

{Ed025's Note - definitely not coby..

Just because we have a new director, why should it make players want to stay at the club? Players like Lukaku want glory now not in 5 years and even if the new investment puts money in, success could still be years away. A team has to built, you have to have a good manager, do not carried away with what has happened.

{Ed025's Note - pissing on your own parade seems to be a trait of a lot of supporters these days milomj,a glass half empty mentality and the craving of instant success is half the problem with the game, this applies to players supporters and even directors and unless that changes we will always be one of the nearly clubs, we need to look to the future and embrace the challenge imo mate...the future is blue..

Lets hop so.

There must be something in this rumour as Arsenal have now confirmed that Moshiri has sold his shares to Usman. Moshiri for me is the better option. and not because of the extra money. he is totally familiar with British football fans and would not turn Everton into a franchise.

Several days ago I asked the question about whether the imminent take-over was the Americans or someone else and I was firmly put in my place by Ed001 who told me that it was the Americans and if it was anyone else we would have to start again. Now seeing Ed001 is a Liverpool supporter and I have never in my 76 years known a Liverpool supporter to be wrong, I can only conclude that all these rumours are false and that the Americans are the only ones close to taking over our beloved club.

{Ed001's Note - put you in your place? That is just a childish petty little whine, I did no such thing, I just explained that the Americans were in place so it would be likely to be them. If it was someone else, they would have had to wait to do due diligence until the last week or so. Unless they just choose to buy without any kind of due diligence in the way Ashley did with Newcastle, then it will be months away if it is anyone else. I also pointed out that NDAs would mean that no one will actually have any real information, only supposition and guesswork. The only things we know are that there are a number of interested parties with the Americans given a period of exclusivity, which precluded anyone else agreeing a deal until recently.}

27 Feb 2016 12:17:43
Ed001 go back and read the full discussion and my comment above was tongue in cheek. One thing I have noticed about Liverpool supporters is that they never admit that they are wrong and they definitely don't have any sense of humour.

{Ed001's Note - if you say so. Personally I just get sick of morons digging at me on these sites and so it becomes difficult to know when someone is just making a joke when you don't know them. So I apologise as I never realised, after the last 16 years of doing this, you lose all hope of other people actually making jokes in the main.}

27 Feb 2016 13:07:48
Ed 001, knock knock. (Sorry, couldn't resist mate)

{Ed001's Note - who's there? ;-)

27 Feb 2016 14:15:25
Shouldnt have told them u were a kopite. atleast you have diverted the howard abuse. don't hold being a red against you, possibly the doctors may find a cure.

27 Feb 2016 15:01:45
Ed01 you have been rather bullish in your approach to us when telling us it's the yanks me thinks ed01 is a little worried that the blues will for the first time in 30 yrs be able to outspend the kopites and take our rightful place as the more attractive option on Merseyside I can see it now Liverpool stuck in the Lego box with no more room for expansion while the blue just grow grow and grow how are your palms ed they sweaty yet hahaha were the pride of Merseyside I won't call u ed 01 no more I will call you NORWAY hahahaha see ya later Norway.

{Ed001's Note - why would that worry me? Man Utd and Liverpool spent huge sums over the last couple of years and got nowhere. What would worry me is if you sacked the Spanish Mr Bean. As for the last bit, that is just pathetic, bit like if I called you Welshie as that's where a large portion of your support comes from.}

27 Feb 2016 15:30:41
Ooooowwww calm down Norway lad it's banter :) ~.

27 Feb 2016 15:39:09
By the way Norway you didn't explain how you got it so wrong on the yanks I am only Avin a laugh though mate don't get offended u call me welshie an I smile it's because I enjoy the crack an by crack a don't mean like a crack edd just the laughs all harmless fun lad! Also I will have you no Norway there are more registered Everton st holders on Merseyside than there are red ones and that was proved by the red echo.

27 Feb 2016 17:02:36
Ed001, if you noticed the tone of my comments I am never rude to anyone, I don't for example call anyone childish, I don't call them morons or suggest that they are having a whine. Years ago Everton and Liverpool supporters could have a little friendly banter without resorting to gutter remarks. How things have changed. I do think that you Ed's do a great job but I suggest that you lighten up a little, ignore the idiots and take the rest as it is, just friendly banter.
In the meantime if it is true that a wealthy person/ group who is about to take us over and who is able to improve the status of Everton just be happy for us please,
Mike.

We get taken over and we still moan. Cheers Ed001, you were only passing on what you knew, can only imagine how much of a pain it is to be asked the same question 14 times a day.

So does he now have majority shareholding then? Away from the rest of those money-grabbers.

{Ed001's Note - sorry to Mike above, I did type a reply out, I must have cleared the ed's note window out by mistake. I was not referring to you with the morons comment. I was meaning the posts that get deleted, the trolls etc, they end up dragging you down and I apologise, I should have looked at your previous posts before assuming.

As for the next, my info was clearly wrong, I did say it could only be supposition and guesswork a number of times though as any parties involved would be bound by an NDA.

The new guy is the largest shareholder, but just shy of being the majority shareholder. In practice he will run the club though, unless every other shareholder voted against him.}

27 Feb 2016 20:40:48
Though I am not an expert but do know a little on this as my company is involved in several acquisitions I would say that to be fair to Ed001 when it's an acquisition there is a lot more hoops to jump through whereas with this scenario because it's under the 50% there is less red tape so it makes the process so much easier! All that has to happen is to ensure that there are no things like funds from illegal gains or fraudulent activities among other things and it sails through fairly quick and smooth!

27 Feb 2016 21:31:33
Thanks Ed001 appreciate it. After waiting for many years for Bill to get some new blood into the board I think most of us will be extremely happy with this latest development. I just hope that Bill gets well soon and can be rewarded with some type of silver ware and either an improved Goodison or a new ground,
Mike.

Southern Toffee has it pretty much spot on a purchase of less than a out and out controlling stake is easier to push through Ed001 and Ed002 both gave us the information they had at the time. NDA's if signed would have meant that the club would have been unable to keep us abreast of what was happening. I am just happy that investment has been found and Bill is regaining his health. If we do get additional funds into the playing side which is what has been reported within the media. I just hope its used wisely.

Whats the story with all these takeover rumours earlier it was a russian takeover now its a middle eastern one deal due to be finalised by tues according to daily mail.

{Ed025's Note - it seems to be all up in the air shogs, there are so many stories being bandied about that its hard to separate the wheat from the chaff mate..

27 Feb 2016 10:05:31
I'm sure whoever it is Bill has vetted them as well as them looking into us. I've always been against a Mansour type takeover, I know it's a long shot but if he has a similar kind of wealth then hopefully it'll give our best players a reason to stick around after this summer. So fingers crossed.

27 Feb 2016 06:02:05
The Daily Fail now says we're being taken over by some middle eastern investor with the deal to be concluded in the next few days. There seems to be no real conclusive lead on this takeover. Wake me up if/ when it's over.
