Everton Rumours Archive May 27 2016

This is only a rumour but I believe has some credibility.
It is believed that the result of the Champions League final will have a massive bearing on who will be our new manager. If Real Madrid beat Athletico Madrid then Zinedine Zidan will remain as manager and Unia Emery will be named as our manager, however should Real Madrid loose the final then Zinadan will be replaced by Emery.

It doesn't have any credibility.

28 May 2016 13:49:37
It's a fair assumption and just as good as anything else I have read or heard, and for once it does not mention Moyes. Must admit the silence is quite exciting and, great to see we are not airing our dirty washing in public like the Man United and Man City sagas for example. FM is a true billionaire at work.

Ed002 did we actually have a serous look at Favre? I thought he'd have been really good for us. We presumably could have competed with Nice on salary if we'd wanted him, although I guess living on the Cote d'Azur is worth something.

{Ed002's Note - Everton certainly considered Favre but he knew he was not going to be first pick. Nice gave him an offer, they have a nice new stadium and, as you say, the South of France is a better place to live than Merseyside - although perhaps not Nice itself.}

27 May 2016 19:37:59
Have you been to Bootle, Ed? I'd swap it for Nice. So if he knew he wasn't first pick, does that mean they had an order of preference from the start or just he knew he hadn't impressed them that much after talking to them?

{Ed002's Note - The club has potential managers where they want to guage their interest and they don't want to make a knee-jerk reaction even though that is what many of the fans want.}

28 May 2016 07:31:30
Spot on. Look what happened last time.

28 May 2016 07:58:34
Again, last time Martinez was appointed on 5th June. 2 months after Moyes has given notice. Wasn't a knee jerk reaction.

. Usmanov has now decided he wants to possess a controlling stake in a premier league club after Stan Kroenke further acquisition of shares at Arsenal yesterday and is said to be considering Everton football club as a viable destination because of his long standing friend and business partner Farhad Moshiri. this would be unbelievable if it happened - just to get a perspective on the situation in hand here Usmanov net worth according to Forbes = £13.9 billion. Abramoovich = £11.1 billion. ah ermmmm.

Thing is, wouldn't that be 2 people who desperately want to run a PL club?

In the same club to boot?

27 May 2016 14:28:27
The original post is an interesting speculation - and I can see why people think it - but where is the concrete evidence that Mr Usmanov really is considering relinquishing all of his shares in Arsenal and buying a share holding in Everton instead?
I'm not saying it couldn't happen - it's a perfectly reasonable analysis and many Everton fans would love it to come true!
One thing is surely clear: many (most if not all! ) Arsenal fans want Mr Kroenke out of their club and they'd be devastated if Mr Usmanov sold up and left to go somewhere else and left Mr Kroenke as the absolute and controlling owner. However, that's not our concern - we just want Everton to become a winning club on and off the field.

{Ed025's Note - thats right sid..

Honesty I think Moshiriis Usanov's nominee. Not wonder if it happen.

27 May 2016 14:44:00
Probably buy Koppites so him and his bezzie can pit wits against each other.

27 May 2016 15:31:48
The theory started as Moshiri bought his stake for Usmanov, if he was unable to topple to Kroenke then he would buy Everton. Moshiri made his money exclusively really from first working for and then with Usmanov.
The reality though I find hard to stomach. Who will be buying the Usmanov shares in Arsenal?
Ultimately to answer an above question it wouldn't be two owners at us it would be one and I would imagine Moshiri would then take the reigns from Bill as chairman.
As stated before this is a very simple rumour to create given their previous working relationship but I just can't see it.
I would also like to stress that those fans who think we are now rich are deluded. In premier league terms Usmanov is very rich Moshiri is doing alright but hardly rolling in it.

Do you eat 'negativity' for breakfast only, or do you snack throughout the day mate?

27 May 2016 15:53:07
Usmanov agreeing to buy up Moshiri's stake in Arsenal was all a bit "convenient" to say the least! Moshiri only owns 49.9% of Everton with an option to purchase the remainder Why?
Under stock market rules the extra acquisition of shares by Kronke might trigger a compulsory offer to other shareholders.
Watch this space, too many exit and entrance points to be mere coincidence!

27 May 2016 16:11:05
Hope there is something in this, but, due to evertons structure, stock market rules do not apply.

27 May 2016 17:04:54
Svenny is right. Positivity is great when it's rooted in reality, but when it's not it just leads to the sort of disappointment and bitterness we see too much of on here. People will be disappointed if we don't get Simeone, moan if we don't qualify for the champs league within 2 years and if we don't have a stadium in 3. It's ridiculous. Moshiri is the 8th richest major shareholder in the prem (not that it matters because it's his money, not the club's) and Everton have the 8th largest turnover in the prem. I feel way more positive than I did a few weeks ago but a bit of realism wouldn't go amiss sometimes. It's like with people hating Moyes for not signing a contract so we could have a payoff from Man U. As if he could have said to a prospective employer that he'd take the job as long as they were happy for him to sign a contract with us that would cost them millions. Utter naivete.

27 May 2016 17:58:26
It would explain why Moshiri only purchased 49% shares.

27 May 2016 13:10:20
Has there been any more contact wit De Boer Eds?

{Ed025's Note - not as we are aware of KR..

27 May 2016 11:04:43
Press suggesting Marc Overmars will become our director of football. Due to him doing this job at Ajax it backs up the appointment of Frank de boer as they have already got a good working relationship. Having won 2 league title whilst working together.

Sounds good enough to me.

27 May 2016 12:09:12
Sounds good to me just like to get it sorted now but all hear Is no contact made with Frank as of yet but just hope he can bring some of his backroom staff with him if we get him but also make sure we can keep rhino and big Dunc.

27 May 2016 13:02:24
Konehead if Frank de Boer does become r manager jaap stam won't be coming according to sky sports he in talks with reading about the managers job.

27 May 2016 09:38:11
Heard a few whispers that Joachim Low is high up on the wanted list. Low apparently wants a crack at club football, ideally in champ league, but also supposedly interested in us as he could easily put his stamp on with our money. What are your thoughts Ed? Would be the high profile manager we need as well in my opinion. Defo attract some names into signing.

{Ed025's Note - he would do for me kingo, i feel that its unlikely but you never know mate..

27 May 2016 09:51:33
Supposedly Klinsmann has had a say on this as well saying he's interested but wants to see if champ league club comes after him depending on the euros. Has he ever done anything at club level (even managed, yet alone won anything)

27 May 2016 10:37:27
He had a stint at Bayern where he made a few changes to their player development. He got sacked for losing the champions league quarters against barce. His league record was ok but probably not good enough for them. Although they have since said they regretted firing him.

27 May 2016 08:43:39
Marc Overmars DOF?


Interesting!
