All the people that say everton are gettting took over it is just peole that make it up too get our hopes up! {Ed025's Note - i think your right mate..

Its true i know the investors, this is a 100% fact !

It might not be a takeover, it could be that someone is buying, for example, Robert Earl's shares and is just investing in the club.

Then why nothing from the club ?
You know they cant hold their own piss when it comes to good news !!!

Like to see John guidetti come to us on loan good young player who can bag goals! Back up for jellyman

He is on Liverpool radar for a buy, unfortunately... - Sky Sports

- Cosmin -

I personally would be surprised to see him go to sit on the bench behind Naismith and Jelavic. Besides, where would that leave the likes of Gueye, McAleny, Anichebe and Vellios?

Moyes seems to prefer the chance of giving the Everton youngsters a chance to shine, rather than develop a rival clubs youth for them.

If a takeover is just " hot air " why have people been in detailed disscusions with peel holdings, and the local council over the site for a new ground, strange as the present ownership keep saying there is not enough cash to pay the tea lady ? {Ed025's Note - who says there have been detailed discussions??

The Chinese are building inter milans new stadium as way of investment,

Chinese whispers ed. Think theres no substance to these rumours. Jain group were interested and they were considering a new ground. There may be interested parties in discussion. However only get excited over when due diligence is announced. Paul c {Ed025's Note - thats a good policy to follow paul..

I emailed the club yesterday asking, "Why isn't the pre-season friendly against AEK Athens live on EvertonTV
like the other matches?"
The reply received today stated, "This was a decision taken following discussions between the Club and the testimonial committee. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause."
Any thoughts anyone?
Cowpat Sid

It's about bums on seat's, not really to line Hibbo's pockets as a lot is ear marked for charity. But more, i believe, to get the taste back for the fans and for the players too.

Its because tony is giving the money to charity. So if it is not on everton tv more people will go. Mad john

I can see the thought behind it, being a testimonial they want as many to attend as can. On the other as I for one just can not get there, so I would have been happy to pay to watch it online, even if it were double what they have charged for other pre-season games as it's for Hibbo. Maybe it is a case of cutting off their nose to spite their face kind of thing.

WtG.

The money is going to two good charities. Buy a ticket!

Only 10,009 sold by this morning.

Its to try to get the vultures to the match instead of looking for live streams on the internet, thus less money going to charity

blue bones

I understand the charity thing and I do see where they're coming from if this is the reason. However, why didn't they just say that to Sid in their reply? The answer they gave doesn't give a reason. If there are people who can't get to the game like WtG, and they want to pay to watch it online, let them, but give that money to charity too. Problem solved. They'll be losing money for charity by not putting it on Everton TV! It's Hibbo for crying out loud! Even the R/S should be paying to watch it!!

Wizard of Osman

If they did it as pay per view on live stream then they would make more for the charities, as us vultures who work and are unable to get to it pay to watch it, thus more money going to charity.

WtG.

The club have sad nothing untoward, they don't need to give a detailed response again people trying to complain about nothing.

Also club wanted to charge £10 commitee said £15.

"I would have been happy to pay to watch it online"
Generous intentions WtG, but whilst you may be happy with that, others would not have been quite so noble. If you want to help Hibbert's efforts, donate a few quid towards Claire House Children's Hospice and Rainbow Trust.
Alternatively, as others have said - buy a ticket for Hibbo. I heard he might even score...

(Apologies if this comes across as advertising Eds - I felt given the money is going towards a good cause...) {Ed025's Note - thats fine mate..

Its being broadcast on Nova tv live so there will be feeds that are free around at usual places.

Not that it is any of your business anonymous poster, but for the record I have been happy to support this event, buying tickets for the wife, kids and nephew to go, but the fact remains being stuck over the other side of the Country over night with work I can not attend and would have liked to have seen it myself thus would have paid whatever amount to do so, as I am sure others would.

Fact is had it been streamed by the club a lot of people would have paid and that money would have gone to the charity, by not doing so, those unable to get there for whatever reason can not, that is lost revenue.

WtG.

Front row sports will have two links tonight.

If we sell big Vic to Wigan after they sell Moses, who would you like to see replace him? I personally think 4mil on Rhodes isnt a bad price...he is young and Moyes can help him develop. Discuss

Id buy rhodes hes class

I live in west yorkshire and have been to see him a few times. Would not fit into our system. He is not a Moyes player. Look past the goals. How will he compliment Jelavic? Lazy lazy rumour.

I agree, Rhodes looks decent; but I would like to see how he does in the championship first before he makes the step up to the Prem.

Discuss? If you suggest £4m with Huddersfield it will not be discuss, but "clear off", or something similar.

If you double the figure, you may get close to the level they say is the trigger point where they MAY enter discussions. I suspect there will be the "wise" ones who say thats a silly figure-but with Huddersfield not wanting to sell, the player content (currently) to stay and a number of other clubs interested in the player, why do you think Everton would be offered a 50% discount?

The lad is a natural finisher in the Owen mould. When you can do that a top manager like Moyes will find a way to exploit it.

I'd spend the money on defo

Rhodes was great in league 1, but it's a massive step up. Since £4m wouldn't get half of him, he isn't worth the risk. But we can't afford him anyway and selling Vic won't change that.

I live in stoke and im a bluenose hearing pennants on his way out worth a shot pienaar n pennant in wings

Rhodes is worth a "punt" he's nowhere near established enough to command 4 million never mind 8 million. Maybe a structured deal with add ons if he for-fills huddersfields expectations but nothing more than 2 million down surely?

Matt Phillips did not play on against us
the other day because he played part in a
game the night before. Me brother was speaking
to one of the coaches who he plays footy
with and he said they was thinking of playing him but they never cause Moyes likes him and didnt want him to impress him more. This is really true.

TonyEFC

Highly doubt it, Moyes is an astute manager when it comes to transfers, he already knows who matt Phillips is, as he has scouted Phillips and Tom Ince on numerous occasions last season. Don't think Moyes would be too influenced by one preseason game.

He also came on as sub, so that theory is wrong.

So you think Moyes just crawls into a cave after the match? even if he didn't come on which he did Moyes could have just went to the next game to watch him, or are you assuming Blackpool aren't planning on starting Phillips until the window closes?
