*Shakes head* Everton again.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Mention for Yobo.  Brilliant.

Just in case you were in any doubt about evertons vast resources.

 

Think we have to remember that it is Blue Heaven Holdings that owns 49.9% of Everton with the rights to acquire just over 75% through the options agreement. What's the significance of this?

 

The significance is that it is BHH that is the funding vehicle for Everton, and as such can raise large amounts of capital privately for use within the club. Most of the investment and provision of capital will occur of course, when BHH has a controlling interest above 75% - believed to be later this summer.

 

But let's explore for a minute what BHH can theoretically provide. Firstly Moshiri can pump in (with an educated guess) at least the amount he received for his R&W Holdings - £200 million. He's already spent £80 million on acquiring his current holdings, and he's put money into the club just over a month ago

 

In addition, BHH will be able to borrow significant sums of money against its assets (Cash and Everton FC) and other assets owned by Moshiri. How much? With the provision of guarantees and liens against other assets £250 million would not be an issue.

 

Additionally if required, Moshiri could sell stakes in BHH to other equity investors. He can do this without notifying the PL or any other body as long as the investor does not indirectly hold more than 9.9% of Everton through their BHH holdings. He could in theory sell 49% of BHH to other investors which would raise depending upon the asset value of BHH at the time significantly more than £100 million - in fact up to £200 million would be possible.

 

Now I'm not saying all of these things will happen. I'm saying you need to look beyond the wealth of the individual and understand his ability to raise money and structure deals, all of which could raise £4-500 million quite easily if required.

 

That's the nature of what we have here. That ability to raise capital, and in the future generate significant cashflow from activities demonstrates how we can actually go (within the confines of STCC and P&S rules), head to head with almost any club in the country.

See, you don't have to be rich to be rich, you just need a vague hypothetical situation where your current saviour dilutes his share to allow other people to put money in.

 

Then they'll show us.

No Andy Gray, a legitimate Everton legend, purely based on him shouting "you beautaaay!" at Stevie. The bad redshite. Unforgivable.

Gary Lineker? He's better than some of the crap on there

[Sut]

If Match of the Day ever moved them away from last spec, Lineker might have gotten on.

[Trumo]

John Ebbrell is on there but there's no room for Preki, Bilyaletdinov or Mark Ward.

 

EDIT: Or Danny 'better than Owen' Cadamarteri.

[Harry Squatter]

Distin as well. He was blacklisted forever when he set up Suarez in the FA Cup semi final.

If you had a time machine - thread on GOT

 

Not getting into the events of the night itself but the aftermath of Heysel very nearly destroyed EFC.

 

There is no doubt that we were the best team in Europe at that time. We would have won multiple European trophies and have been the main team in the UK when Sky invented football. We would have been one of the Sky4.

 

It is nothing compared to people losing their lives but I feel sorry for some of those players, especially the loyal one's like Nev and Sheedy, who would have had a ton more medals and the public recognition they deserve.

[Furmedge]

Few blue mates of mine are starting to think there's no money to spend. Realisation is setting in.

[Unrighteous]

It's amazing that they think Moshiri is going to dip into his own pockets when he's not sole owner, or at least Majority owner.

 

I'm willing to bet that any 'self funded' things would need to be shared equally from all owners.

The Brothers Grimm couldn't have written a better one.

[Cardie]

I think they will spend a fair amount of money this summer, but only in line with most other clubs and funded in part by outgoings.

[Cardie]

Where's Ibrahim Bakayoko

[Paco]

they ll spend what they get for stones and possibly lukaku if he goes.

[Harry Squatter]

If Stones and Lukaku don't go then I foresee a few failed medicals

[Talismanic]

Stones will go this week funding Kone from Sunderland and the fella who sounds like a cheese from Villa.

[Harry Squatter]

Still waiting for the Everton delegation of Tony Bellew and Co to go over to Madrid to get James Rodriguez.

[Talismanic]

Stones will go this week funding Kone from Sunderland and the fella who sounds like a cheese from Villa and also for the Everton delegation of Tony Bellew and Co to go over to Madrid to get James Rodriguez  :D

What an utter crock of shite that is (not your post, the GOT one!).

As if by magic, 4-500m of investment just appear out of fresh air. It's cloud cuckoo land.

In fact, he actually says 250m of it would be 'borrowed' - and the loan wouldn't actually be to Everton, but to Blue Heaven Holdings.

 

I think he's completely forgetting FFP which prevents much of that being spent on players too. It could go on infrastructure though.

 

They are currently estimated to be worth about £130m it's very hard to see how they'd attract 500m of investment unless there's a lot more too it than just the football (e.g. City). The game is looking more and more difficult to succeed in too, so chucking 500m at something is far less a guarantee than it was 10 years ago.

[Cardie]

He appears to be banking on Stones going to your lot to cure both FFP and Short Term Cost Control regulations.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

I wanted to shag Sherilyn Fenn, she wasn't having any so I tried it on with Salam Hayek, told me to fuck off. Made an unsuccessful attempt at Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy seemed interested.

Ended up with Tina Malone.

[FanchesterCity]

He appears to be banking on Stones going to your lot to cure both FFP and Short Term Cost Control regulations.

 

I don't think they'll spend it all - I think they'll keep back 20m at least.

I don't mind Everton at all really, just think they're massively overoptimistic about turning things around.

[RobbieOR]

They're waiting for Stones to go before they start spending but the fans got excited because it was somebody other than Kenwright involved and because he was from the middle east they assumed he'd be spending Sheikh type sums on players when in reality there is a reason why he walked away from Arsenal.
