Am convinced there will be investment soon. It has to happen some time

Welcome to Everton Rumours Mr Kenwright. (Wavertree Blue)

How good is jordan rhodes I think his move to Blackburn prooves he is a born striker think he is worth a shout even at 10 million 27 goals this season

Ant Wharton

Looks like we mist the boat again

A friend of mind has good relationships with the majority of league 1 and 2 club officials. He has told me that he was talking to the Huddersfield chairman at the end of last season and Rhodes to Everton was a done deal until Blackburn gazumped us with a bigger fee and better personal terms at the last minute.

Hi Ed am sure something is happening at Goodison you could see on Moyes face he was in the know this could at last be the investment we have all been waiting for, GuernseyBlue

When was this Guernsey? Is there a video or something?

BitterBlue

I believe he's referring to the interview Moyes gave to sly earlier toaday, Bitter. You know how Dave is, he looked just as glum and had that look as if his dog had just died as usual. Nothing to see here I don't think.

Also, with foreign oil-rich owners you are CONSTANTLY worrying over what will happen when they've had enough

''with foreign oil-rich owners you are CONSTANTLY worrying ''

Sir you address us in the manner of a non Evertonian, e. g. your overstating of CONSTANTLY with caps.

No Everton fan has had the good fortune to worry CONSTANTLY about '' foreign oil-rich owners''

It's an experience most of us would like to have in fact.

Please bring on the worrying without further delay.

Rupert Towers Esq.

My point is, although foreign investment can be enjoyable and fruitful in the short term, in the long term it may well be disastrous for your club.

Ive supported everton threw thick and thin and when I've seen what mancity have spent and what we have spent and they our unable to beat us money mean very little we need a new stadium yes and maybe 1 or 2 players but we our not far away I know moyes has his bad points but he has far more good points. imwt belfast toffee

Totally agree with you belfast toffee

any true toffee should not get on kenwrights back, the man deserves our respect for puttin the club 1st and its not his fault he's not a billionaire,, we dnt want to end up like portsmouth or leeds, FACT

We are true toffees, we are concerned at what is exactly going on with the club, all we are asking for is some transparancy, ie is moyes going. let's face it the only way forward is investment, if kenwright is topping this, he needs to step down sooner rather than later.
Patsyblue

The man's a charlatan, and him and his cronies are responsible for malfeasance of the highest order. Can you not see through him? He's full of sh*te

Putting the club first? Is that why he wants over 100mil profit for the club, despite the fact that he has stripped this club of all its assets?

I do admire him for what he did for the club, but time to move on, but he does not want to let go of his train set.

I hate the argument, do you want to end up like Portsmouth or Leeds? how about if we end up like Chelsea or Man City?

There is always some risk involved in these decisions. It is life really, there is a lot of things in this life that are a "sure thing".

''we dnt want to end up like portsmouth or leeds, FACT''

Silly use of the word ''FACT''

Here's another ''FACT'' you have a tendency to overlook ''FACTS'' that don't add weight to your argument losing you all credibility in this case.


Sorry can't resist FACT!

Rupert Towers Esq.

Is that you, rafa?

Living near Portsmouth, I've watched what has happened at Pompey over the last few years and listened to their supporters who are worried sick whether they will have a club next season. I'm not a Kenwright apologist, but I don't believe he will sell just for the sake of it and do believe he has the interests of the club at heart (it's Green and Earl who worry me). For all those wanting him to take the first offer that comes along, be very careful what you wish for.

After 11 years he's surely had more than 1 offer? We could've sold to Sheikh Mansour in 2008/2009 but he wanted the stadium move to go through to increase his profit margins. Look how that turned out.

Sorry 11 years is how long Moyes has been in charge. I meant since 2004 when BK became the majority stakeholder

Quiz question for anyone old enough to remember. 1970s efc at home to coventry. Z cars comes on teams runout and Gordon west trot s out only to face a barrage of abuse
From glad end? Why? If you know your history! (mushroom man ) will post back if no one gets it by tonight

He wore a red shirt because Coventry where were wearing green.

Was that the reason Gosport? If that is true then it is a bit pathetic. Unless it had a bloody Liverbird on the shirt then who cares what colour the goalie top is?

Mike

Big Nev wore a red shirt for similar reasons in the ECWC final in 85. I don't remember anyone giving him a hard time over it.
Smithers-Jones

The only one giving Nev a hard time was himself. The man is a Blue legend!

Toffee ace

Mike the booing was good natured, he still received the 'Gordon' salute when he came to the street end.

Ed, do you think Kenwright is lying or telling the truth about this potential takeover would love it to be true but we have all been led down the garden path before what is your thoughts Ed. {Ed025's Note - im unsure stef, as you say, we have heard these story,s before, but surely there has to be someone out there who would love to buy a club with the history ours has..
