Being reported today Textor has been signed a period of exclusivity with Everton.

Third time lucky maybe.

He seems to understand the club and its supporters more than the other bidders. Let's hope that this time everything goes smoothly although I doubt it will. He has to sell his CP shares and overcome the loan situation. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Agree mate I have a good feeling about this bid.
15 Aug 2024 20:05:11
He plays second fiddle at Palace and I’m concerned he could be another Moshiri in disguise. Franklin would be my first choice though if the Eds say Textor is the real deal, I’m up for giving him a chance.

Periods of exclusivity aren’t that exclusive anymore.
15 Aug 2024 20:29:38
Textor could yet join up with Freidkin and others to form a consortium, split Moshiri’s shares between them.
15 Aug 2024 20:34:40
Too right, Bobby.
15 Aug 2024 23:42:11
Textor wants full control so he isn't going to give up too much to Friedkin. 51% gives him majority but he needs more than that to have it his own way.

I wonder if Textor already has a buyer lined up for his Palace shares. Why would Moshiri give exclusivity to someone who is not in a position to buy the club yet. Then again!
{Ed002's Note - No, all he has right now is an unacceptable offer.}
16 Aug 2024 09:56:55
Thanks Ed. Think we are all just wishing this mess would get sorted soon. Doesn't look like it though.
{Ed002's Note - These things take time with huge complications in the £1B debt the club has.}
16 Aug 2024 11:05:27
Cant see Moshiri getting full value for is 450M unsecured debt though.
17 Aug 2024 09:21:15
Moshiri buys the club. Runs us into £1b debt and still wants money for his shares…
Whoever takes over will know that they are taking on such a large debt - no one is going to pay into take on the debt. My feeling is Moshiri will keep on insisting on a price for the club, no one will pay it and we will be dragged into administration.

It’s really not that exclusive anymore is it.

Parish at Palace spoke in good terms about Textor’s suitability and the model with the clubs already in the group. Hope this one comes off. The money in the Premier League remains and it’s not getting any less popular. Just need Mosh to accept a reasonable offer, hopefully there’s a compromise soon.

Yep that sums it up JB mate.
22 Aug 2024 13:14:42
Apparently and more worryingly it is claimed he's not got the funds.!
