Dokko Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 (edited) A consortium of international investors, which involves a member of the Saudi royal family, has made a £400m offer to buy Premier League club Everton. Farhad Moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake to 777 Partners in September, but the investment firm could not complete the deal, opening the way for others to make a takeover bid. Local businessmen Andy Bell and George Downing, as well as MSP Sports Capital - who have lent the Toffees around £158m - are also in the running for a period of exclusivity after lodging bids. London-based businessman and lawyer Vatche Manoukian is leading a bid alongside an unnamed Saudi royal and families with a high-net worth from the United States. Manoukian and his consortium have proposed an all-equity offer which would not take on additional debt and would aim to create a sustainable, long-term strategy. They see Everton as a "sleeping giant" of English football with potential to secure a place "at the top of world football again" through the new stadium being built on Bramley-Moore Dock. Manoukian, 45, is a partner at tech investment firm IMS Digital Ventures and is backed by Australia's Myer family. Roma owner Dan Friedkin, Michael Dell of Dell Technologies and Kenneth King of investment firm A-Cap are understood to be interested too. Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which lists the country's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as chair, completed a £305m takeover of Newcastle in October 2021.

Terrymac1966 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Premier league is corrupt past the point of redemption. It is a shell company representing the interests of about 5 teams.

Tbh think most just want to see the back of Moshiri and the club been ran well again for the first time in about 9years Just good to see plenty of interest after FM gave 777 a free run at it" Well I never, who'd have thunk it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I think if the rules do change we should start dropping £200m bids on the likes of Alisson, Saka, Bruno Fernandes, for the craic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 “Some of the rules have actually resulted in cementing the status quo more than creating upward mobility and fluidity in the sport. The rules do not make sense and are not good for football. Managing a sports team has become more like being a treasurer or a bean counter rather than looking at what your team needs. It’s more about creating paper profits, not real profits. It becomes a financial game, not a sporting game.” Absolutely in no way a dig at the 8 year contract giving, hotel sale and leaseback enacting Yankee hustlers at Stamford Bridge.

r0cafella Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 If it does all come crashing down, those established elite clubs will have nobody to blame but themselves. They’ve had ample opportunity to create rules which promote competition and yet at every turn they’ve done everything In their power to do the opposite.

Armchair Pundit Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I imagine if those top 5-6 teams don't get their way they'll just up sticks and jump in with trying to set up a new European Super League again. Still, fuck them, fuck them all, we've been cheated and held back by the bastards for long enough, roll on when the Prem's stupid rules fall and their corruption is exposed.

Players would follow the money. The TV money would follow the best players. If us, villa, Everton one or two others and maybe not all 6 jump ship and get investment. Then Germany and maybe France don't go. You end up with a "Super leauge" that could go bankrupt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
