What happens if 777 fail in their attempt to get the club? Do we rely on other buyers coming in?
1.) 20 Mar 2024 12:50:14
I guess so. Would be nice if FM put his hand in his pocket and tidied up the mess he's made, but that won't happen. I guess the eds will advise us.
{Ed001's Note - he can't though to be fair. His money came from Usmanov, now that is frozen he has no money to tidy up any mess.}

Bloody Putin lol.

According to Forbes he still has 2.4BN USD so he could help out a little. Great life. Buy it, f it, flog it. If he loses £50M it would be like us losing £5. We certainly got a bad draw with him.

But how much of that wealth is accessible Nick? You could argue I’m worth a couple of £100ks but I’d have to sell up everything and live in a van. Who knows where his 2.4 billion is tied up? It certainly doesn’t feel like it is at Everton….

Good point there BR23. However, accounts are good at shifting money about. It certainly should be with us. Beggars belief what he's done.
{Ed001's Note - you do realise that most of that value will actually be the value of Everton mate. Well maybe not most right now, but it must be a huge slice. The rest of his 'money' would be similarly tied up in assets that Usmanov had transferred to him in order to avoid having them frozen. It will not actually be cash.}

Would you know if there are any genuine interested buyers that we could turn to ed001?
{Ed001's Note - there certainly were others but the finances are now so entangled with 777 I am not sure anyone would be still interested.}

It's a bit like one of our politicians over here Ed001. He has a house which would sell for about 25M dollars but is valued at 200M in his reported net worth. Everton are in a financial mess and Moshiri neither has the resources nor the inclination if he did to bail us out, he wants to sell and get as far away from the mess as he can.
{Ed001's Note - let's just hope that someone does bail Everton out soon.}
8.) 23 Mar 2024 21:11:30
The problem is: I don’t see anyone coming in to sort out the mess. We don’t have any ‘Sir Ratcliffe’ types buy a stake in us.
Saying that, I do remember a rumour back in the 90s that Paul Macartney was a fan… someone get on the blower to him!

Disgrace the way the club is being treated. wouldn't do it to any teams in the top 6? Getting punished twice in one season is outrageous.
{Ed025's Note - we have made a lot of mistakes at board level Grantham, and we did deserve sanctions, but this to me is blitzkrieg mate and it seems they wont stop until plucky old Everton are dismantled bit by bit mate, i do believe they have an agenda against us..
01 Apr 2024 12:41:02
To put it bluntly we are in an absolute mess. Moshiri seems to have disappeared when it matters . Are 777 the answer? Not for me when you look at the other clubs they own . They are not happy. Are they hanging on in the hope that they get the club at a reduced cost?
Probably! Since Usmanov has gone it has turned into a s$%t show.
19 Jan 2023 11:38:01
Lets be honest! The club has gone to pot since Moyes left the club. Bill gets Moshiri in as the money man and unfortunately it hasn't worked out as the people employed are obviously useless. They Board need to look at themselves and resign. The sooner they go the better! Should be interesting at the weekend as both managers could get their marching orders!
{Ed002's Note - It doesn't work like that.}
25 Apr 2024 06:24:58
Totally agree BlueMike. They were brilliant tonight and couldn't cope with DCL. Long may it continue!
23 Apr 2024 16:54:50
Not being funny. Who would come to Everton? I think Dyche has done a remarkable job. If we had our points back we would be safe and it would be an improvement on last year. Just think of all the players he has inherited! Other managers signings. We need to keep Branthwaite but you just know that will not happen. As for Onana, I don't get it. What does he bring to the team? Sell him and let's get players in that want to give 110% every game. Realistically it will not happen because of our finances.
Would have to agree with most posters on here that the team needs to change its tactics. Maybe it is time for a new manager, But not Moyes. Sorry to rant on. Just gutted the way the club has been ran into the ground by a clueless Moshiri.

Bad ownership has been the problem. Did anyone see Carragher's speech on the tv tonight? If there is any truth to what he is saying it's very scary. Apparently 158 Million has to be repaid to MSP before midnight. If not paid does that mean we could possibly go into administration? If that's the case the future doesn't look good does it?
16 Apr 2024 09:39:09
The reality is, if we had our points back we would more than likely be safe. Yes it's not pretty to watch! Hopefully if manage to beat the teams beneath us we will stay up! Its a big ask but it's in the players hands now. The performance last night was awful. It makes you wonder if the player's know more than we do? They weren't playing for the shirt last night. My biggest fear is that we will go into liquidation.

It just stinks.
You watch the rules will be changed for next season! How you can get fined twice in one season is beyond me.
