Serious question Tobes. If you now develop Goodison, will you have the same problems as your red neighbours with having to purchase houses very close to the ground?
The footprint is too small for a modern stadium to be housed there mate.Serious question Tobes. If you now develop Goodison, will you have the same problems as your red neighbours with having to purchase houses very close to the ground?
Momentous day for us mate.How is Kenwright? Is he doing this now because he is (terminally?) ill? I hope not. But otherwise good move for you, I hope. Hope you don't have to wait a ****ing decade of dithering before someone actually does some work on your stadium too.
Good luck. Leicester have proved, hopefully, you don't need a Sheikh anymore to win something (if not to build a dynasty). Brave new world with the TV money, I hope. Everton being stable have every right to think they can be as big as Leicester. ****, at least ten teams in the Prem can.
Where's @Tobes to celebrate the takeover being [HASHTAG]#confirmed[/HASHTAG]
What's to celebrate?
Nothing has been confirmed in what the plan is moving forward
I thought the plan is get the 49.9% takeover approved, pay off the bank debt, get the 100% takeover approved, move into a new stadium with a new team [HASHTAG]#easy[/HASHTAG]
You know more than most it seems. Seems crazy that he will pay for shares and then possibly pay the debt too?
The club was valued at £200m, so he paid the asking price for his 49.9% @ £100mEverton's net debt is just over £30m but the share price he bought the club at undervalued it by about £100m, so paying off the debt still means he's way ahead on his investment.

It was undervalued at £200m
Barkley, Stones, Lukaku are supposed to be worth £100m on their own, and the new PL TV deal is an EXTRA £30m per year

Supposed to be worth......
Who applied those values? My house is supposed to be worth x, but the last three offers have been under that valuation....
The club was valued at £200m, so he paid half the value for half the shares(you can nit pick on that if you like!)
[HASHTAG]#firesale[/HASHTAG]Beardwood added: “Forbes are calculating the final figures by using a club’s enterprise value which is your equity minus debt.
“An issue that Everton have in this respect is that they’re in negative equity as they have more debt than their assets are worth.
“When taking all of this into account Everton would be worth around $206million and given that Forbes are using an exchange rate of $1 to 62 pence then that makes Everton Football Club worth around £127million - which for me feels about right.”
From an Echo article in 2015 when the PL TV deal had been confirmed, so add the TV money and £200m seems right![]()
If you want to lend me £127m I'd glady buy Everton for that much
Even if you do nothing at all in terms of developing the commerical deals or making profits on transfers, after 5 years the extra profit from the TV deals has paid for the club and made you a tidy profit.

You should really be working for Forbes or some a top end investment firm. You questioned the price and a company that each year gives values to football clubs is used.......and you question it. Lets not forget that if you add the TV money on it hits the reported £200m value and the £100m reportedly paid for 49.9% of the club![]()
