Come on lads don't believe the middle eastern rumours its all BS heard it all before

Rumour going round that a middleast. Group intrested buying Everton for 125 million?

You mean it was said on a web site The board want £125 million and there is interest.

He means Stan Collymore said it on talk sport. an he heard of a source. Probaly some bint he met dogging.

Here we go again. Season tickets to be renewed by any chance?

Everton responded to Collymore's questions and that was the answer? Interest could just mean they emailed a PDF of the prospectus to someone and that's it no more.

No doubt another fella in a 1 bedroomed flat in Dubai.

I know these rumours appear at this point every season, but it's surely only a matter of time before someone does see the massive potential of our club.
The debt isn't insurmountable, the fan base is massive and passionate, the history is is there in black and white and we have a great youth set-up. (In fact only Barca and Ajax kids are rated higher than ours).
We would probably sell for around 100m and 50m for the manager would surely bring results. In today's market that isn't a massive outlay. I know we need to either re-develop or move, but this could be done in a few years. Success on the pitch would generate more money and a higher profile. I'm not after Arab billionaires, I would be happy if we got someone who could guarantee us a 15m transfer kitty each season. JMO

After the Wigan match the fee has been changed to 125 pounds.

Twoold, why would anyone go out and buy a season ticket because we there might be interest from someone to buy the club? can't stand people like you who post this every single time.
If there is speculation regarding a player, people like you say the same thing again and again and again.

£125 m?. can anyone here tell me how much is the football club worth? I mean how many assets have we got and what are they valued at?. plus what is the current debt. add these figures together and they don't come to anywhere near £125m. now would you pay X w (well over the odds) when something is woth y (well below what it is worth). erm NO you wouldnt. so why do you think astute business people would pay 40-50 million more than EFC is worth. ANSWER they won't! end of. this club will not be sold!

Oh yeah forgot. plus a NEW or massively developed stadium needs to happen before these astute business people (and remember it is business and they want to see a return on their money) will put any money in. so now were saying £125m plus we need to have a new stadium. what another £200m. yeah right!
This present board have invested zero. yes zero not 1 p into this club not a penny and you wonder why we are in this predicement?. THINKABARRRRRIT!

Do you know how much a 1 bedroom flat in Dubai costs!

This is what I like about Everton fans. We know we're being lied to, but we still follow the and support the team and club blindly. We shouldn't have to do this. There has been no transparency for years! No AGM, constantly lied to.
1) Kings Dock Money Ring Fenced
2) Tesco are giving us £90m for Kirkby Stadium
3) The ground will fail its safety certificate. and many, many more.

We've been asset stripped in front of our very eyes and we've sat back and done nothing. You have to give it to the RS, they wouldn't put up with this, they'd pull this rotten regimes ivory tower down around their ears and send them packing!

I'm not renewing, until I'm satisfied where my hard earned cash is going? It's not being re-invested that's for sure. The Blue Union were right all along, they saw this coming 18 months ago. I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to open my eyes!

Dave M

Dave M? Moyes that you >>>? The only assets we have are the players! End of!

The bottom line is from a sellers point of view its reasonable, from a buyers its not its a starting price how many of us have bought houses in the past for 50k done nothing to them & tried to sell for 150k same thing. Also as a business you could go to potential buyer saying new TV monies mean if we continue at our current rate i. e. 8/9 in Prem looking at 100 million min from TV alone. That's what you've money back in about one year not bad

Er why would the board sell this season when they have the TV money coming in next year? Surely they will wait till its in their pockets before even considering trying to sell the club?

Can anyone confirm why Fellaini did not attend an event for sick kids today and Naismith did it instead?

I think its quite clear that the fans who hurled abuse at him at the game had clearly got to him and considering he is now scapegoat number 1 it was probaly wise not to attend as he would have only got more abuse. I think it would have been a poor decision to let him attend when feelings are raw.

Why throw the "sick kids" bit in?
Andy The Chef

He was supposed to be at the Everton 2 shop in Liverpool 1

It had nothing to do with "sick kids" or anything remotely charitable. Ot was a signing session at the club shop designed to shift more merchandise.

Why are people always so desperate to blow thing out of all proportion?

I'll tell you why it's because he's a complete T**t!
When he gave the ball away at the Wigan game, he turned his back. The Fans in the Bullens Road where telling him to turn around as the ball was still in play, he then gestured to the fans that 'if they could do better they should replace him on the pitch' They again told him to turn around as Wigan were boxed in and still had the ball. He gave the Bullens Road the V sign and was subbed. He went straight down the tunnel, changed and got into his car and drove off! That is gospel! I hate him now! He can f**k off to Chelsea or wherever he wants to go. He quite clearly doesn't want to play for us. I will never clap him when his name is read out again. Treated like a hero, treats his loyal fans like s**t!
Dave M

Disgusted in Fellaini if am honest. The money he earns through us the fans makes me sick to my stomach. He should be fined heavily if he's done that on the pitch. 4 weeks of his wages would probably buy a very hungry youth team player that has a bit more desire than that lump

Hi ed's and fellow blue's just thought I would let you know a web site (which I don't like) at 7pm tonight claims that they have spoke to an official from EFC and asked lots of questions about;
Takeover's/How much the club is for sale/ Moyes contract/ Why don't we hold AGM meetings/What happened to the 30 Million that was ring fenced for Kings Dock/What exactly is Phillip Green's involvment with Everton/Why does Kenwright want so much for the club when we have no assets and debt/Why have the board allowed Moyes contract to run down this much/
and much more, seems worth a listen. 7PM tonight lads, a web site we should all listen to see if we hear anything new or the usual BS

Moyes keeps saying that his contract situation isn't having an effect on the team, even though we all can clearly see it has! We're not the same team that bullied United's defence (namely Fellaini) on the opening day, and we haven't been since Moyes said he was going to assess the situation at the end of the season. We're in an awful run of form, we're out the cup, Liverpool have overtaken us, all down the contract situation and the lack of purchases in January. So Mr. Moyes should let everyone know what he is doing now, either put pen to paper or leave.

(sorry I wrote this out and then realised I hadn't signed in. )

celtic manager neil lennon is being linked to replace moyes at the end of the season source daily record dailr mirror and the courier {Ed025's Note - i hope not!..

No chance he will stay at celtic a lot of people are saying to go for martinez

Oh dear, no!

Why would he leave Celtic - massive crowds, European football every season, better finances, etc. , etc. - for Everton? Unless its too easy for him at Celtic in Scotland and he fancies having to play competitive matches every week.

If celtic sell there top players then he may leave but I think he will stay I would have him at everton he's firey and would get the best out of the players he's doesn't alow any player thinking he's bigger than the club

I don't want that creature anywhere near EFC

And what's wrong with neil lennon he's a good manager {Ed025's Note - says who?..

11 Mar 2013 22:00:03
I'd rather have Keith Chegwin than Lennon.

"Who says Neil Lennon is a good manager" - why, Mrs Lennon of course, and all the little Lennons.
We'd do better with John Lennon - imagine.

He is a good manager lol he does manage 1 of the biggest clubs in the world got them to the last 16 of the champions league with no money spent regardless of what people think he's a good manager

It's quite simple to finish top four you need someone who can score 20+ goals or two three players who hit double figures we have not got that but everyone was sure Jelavic would be the man and I still think he will score plenty of goals but we have not won games we should of our top scorer is felleni I think then baines probably we need to achieve what we all wanted at start season that was to get back into Europe and we can do that, yesterday was a huge set back I thought we could get to final and win it but let's not forget our target top 4 was a bonus we have played bad last couple of months but moyes will pick us up, Jelavic to go on a run and we can have a strong finale {Ed007's Note - Jelavic will not score plenty of goals, not for Everton anyways, you were warned about him when you signed him.}

Unfortunately the fa cup draw means we now need 2 finish 5th 2 get into Europe. With our remaining fixtures I feel this is extremely unlikely

Lotan

Is that true? About finishing 5th. ? {Ed025's Note - it all likelyhood..yes..

We haven't had a player in teh number 9 shirt - surely Everton's most iconic for over 5 years - that says it all about Moyes priorities.

Hi, to ed 07,

I do remember us being warned about Jelavic before we signerd him, and its clear that his ability is not what we first thought. however can I ask what you mean, "not for everton anyway"? Do you mean the standard of football in the prem? or that he has had a fallout and will be off soon? there is loads of ways this could be taken and I was just wondering in what context he won't score for us ( other than the fact he's just not good enough it seems )
Just a wondering, that's all.
we all knew he had his problems off field ( going on strike and so on) but have they followed him here? if you could let us know I would be happy! cheers!
molly 888 {Ed007's Note - I meant I expect him to leave Everton during the summer, sorry. Jelavic doesn't have a habit of hanging around at clubs and as you say, he went on strike at his last two in order to engineer moves away. If someone is willing to meet the financial side of any deal I am confident he will leave. Naismith is a much better player IMO, I'm surprised he hasn't been more prolific for you.}

Your replies are awful everyone thought Jelavic was the striker we needed last season now he is in a bad patch he is not good enough most clubs have one player who take them out where would they be in league with the points they have won single handed

Man utd- RVP
Liverpool - Suarez
Spurs- bale
Chelsea- mata

They have won so many points for club so guy proves his point when he says you need goals to get u top 4

Hi ed07, just a quick thanks for the response, I gathered as much from his past that we may struggle to keep him. Shame really, he was a revelation last season.
Also naismith, I have to behonest i'm surprised you have said that. Having not watched rangers last season I couldn't confirm, but naismith has been poor if i'm being honest.
Hes been played wide right, which obv isn't his position, and we know the, assive injuries he's had, just seems he doesn't really bring anything to the squad. Again, I will probably be proved wrong if we ever see him updront. Thanks again ed, appreciate the response!
Molly888 {Ed007's Note - No problem Molly, any time. You should put a number '1' before the '8's in your name :-) I am surprised myself that Naismith hasn't done better, his problem was always staying fit and it was never just a wee niggling injury, he always seemed to get the serious ones, it was a shame for him in that way. I'm sure if he gets fit and is played in the middle you would see a different player, play him up front with a good quality poacher and they would score goals, Naismth can run all day and brings some urgency into the attack. At the time Naismith was the only player at Rangers I would have taken at Celtic, I haven't seen much of Everton so my opinion is really still based on when he was up here but I would think he could regain that form again if played the right way.}

Naismith is worse than James McFadden! Ed7 I think you are letting your club loyalties cloud your judgement. A Celtic fan who doesn't like a former Rangers man? Who'd have thunk it? {Ed007's Note - Oh yeah see how I have heavily slated ex-Rangers man Naismith in my answer. Did you skip school the day they done reading, moron?}

Nice, mature reply from Ed7! Your complements of Naismith were back-handed at best. Besides, I used to read every day at school, not just once! Your parents clearly forgot to teach you any manners. {Ed007's Note - Read through my 'back handed' compliments of Naismith, and point them out to me. What is back-handed in saying he was the only Rangers player I would have taken to CFC? Just because I wasn't offering to go for a windy walk through the autumn leaves doesn't mean it is back-handed.
Your parents clearly forgot to learn about contraception, so it is hardly my fault you are an idiot.}
