Peter Kenyon (ex CEO of Manure, then Chelsea) and some US billionaires are in the early stages of attempting to buy Everton.

Removing Putin’s mate Usmanov (the de facto backer behind Everton) from our game, can’t be a bad thing?

I have a long held belief that to be that rich, you’ve got to have harmed a few people along the way somewhere. Oligarchs by another noun probably.

I thought this was going to be a whip 'round

I'd have chipped in a fiver.

I would love it if they go down next season.

Not sure how far Moshiri is in bed with Putin and his mates - not sure if this new shady lot are any better (or worse). Top level football is just such a load of dodgy financial shite these days. Somebody give me a steer here - are beheading Saudis better or worse than murdering Putin? And where do Americans who borrow money (and don't repay it) from a club to buy it fit in to the scale of shitness?

Kenwright is pretty much the Everton version of Dick Knight isn't he? Not enough money to make that crucial difference, but pulled the club through earlier dark days (though never as dark as ours, obvs).

They may have money, but American football club investors tend to do it because they want to take money ut of the club, not to put it in.

Yes, that was pretty much my impression too!

Apparently, as a sweetener, the Yanks have offered to buy Toffee-tastic Everton manager Frank Dullard a personality into the bargain.

Everton, the club absolutely no one gives a shit about.

Except FSG at Liverpool. They've only ever made medium term loans to the club, for infrastructure projects.

The benefits to FSG are that an asset that cost £300m, now has a value of £3b and branding is helping the entire business the other side of the Atlantic.


The previous bunch Hicks & Gillett did exactly as you say.
