Bell and Downing have lodged a bid for Everton so say Sky.

And they are also saying the Dell family is backing them, that would be brilliant.

Sounds more palatable by far this. 2 fans who are both successful business owners and with the backing of the top man behind the Dell empire with an alleged $120b fortune. This seems to be a bit of good news for a change. We will see who FM gives the exclusivity period to before getting carried away but this is a ray of light.

Absolutely FBS?.

Come on Ed02… bring us some good news! We will dedicate a stand to you in the new stadium or possibly a statue on the fan plaza.
Failing that, we could change our name to Edverton02. Just bring us some news that we are saved and it’ll all be alright.
{Ed002's Note - A-Cap, the investment company that loaned 777 monies to keep Everton afloat are owed close to £250M by 777 and want to talk to Moshiri about a joint venture where they would refinance the R&MF debt and be joined in a consortium by the two British investors in MSP, thereby reducing that debt. However, Andy Bell and George Downing want to get a separate consortium together with MSP to buy the club or alone with the backing of Michael Dell - leaving MSP free to invest in another Premier League side. The A-Cap proposal would still leave Moshiri as a major shareholder. The interest of John Textor is enttirely dependent on him selling his Crystal Palace shares - and the timeline would be even longer, and the debt is huge. Right now it seems whichever this goes, Bell and Downing will be involved. The downside is the time any takeover will take.}

The Dell stadium? That rings a bell?.

Amazing insights Ed
How does Dan Friedkin the Roma owner fit into all of this as saw reports of his interest as well.
{Ed002's Note - Friedkin wants to build a multi-club group like a number of others, but having both Roma and Everton would be difficult if both qualified for the same European competition. It would also cut out Bell and Downing and the club would still have to deal with the £1.2B in debt.}

Maybe we can name one of the new stands the bell end?
08 Jun 2024 15:54:40
How about the Ken-Dell stadium.
08 Jun 2024 18:13:00
Thanks Ed. I’m taking that it’ll al be alright in the end… just worried about how long all this will take.
{Ed002's Note - It will not happen overnight.}
