Hopefully if these guys come in they want the stadium to be a little bit bigger and have a few adjustments put in. With the planning applications required I can’t see that happening.

This has little do with anything football related but I don’t believe Bannon and Trump are allies at this point. Trump tends to discard people once they’ve served their purpose and Bannon lost control of the monster he helped create years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaidharper Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Here is supposed consortium member John Thornton chilling with Bannon and Farage. Apparently Thornton is in the 2019 Steven Bannon documentary (haven't seen personally) giving his support of the man and encourages Bannon to be the intellectual entrepreneur for the populist-nationalist uprisings of our time. Get that all super rich folks have dirty hands but would not be very excited about these connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 It could be a missed opportunity Kenyon at least knows how to run a successful football club. The owner and board we have now have failed miserably in the last 6 years, Moshiri has also lost his partner and money man and hasn’t been seen at a game for months, if he is even contemplating selling he definitely sees no future with the club anymore, and let’s be honest there could be far more worse offers that come along that he accepts if this one doesn’t materialise, after all his biggest concern won’t be us it will be getting his and Usmanov’s money back with a bit on top.

Telegraph Sport revealed on Monday that Kenyon is fronting a group, including chief executive of Minneapolis-based Talon Real Estate Maciek Kaminski and American businessman John Thornton, trying to buy Everton. Heads of terms have been signed and it is understood that Kenyon’s group have agreed a period of exclusivity to hold detailed talks with Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and to carry out due diligence on the club. Everton and Kenyon’s group have declined to comment on the talks, which have been described as “positive”. Telegraph Sport understands that, while the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive is fronting the group, Kaminski is providing the greatest financial weight behind the bid. Kaminski is said to be a very private individual and it is unclear whether his wealth is personal or if he has secured funding through his business interests. Attempts to contact Kaminski, who was born in Poland and immigrated to the United States aged eight, have so far been fruitless but a source told Telegraph Sport: “Kaminski is the money behind the bid. There is not a lot of information out there about him, but the word is he has significant funding behind him.” Sources believe that, should a deal be agreed, then Everton will be sold for more than £500 million, including the club’s debt, while any new owners would also have to fund the new £500m stadium. Kenyon has been advising clubs and prospective owners for a number of years from his base in Jersey. His company Opto Advisers have been involved with the transformative takeovers of Paris Saint-Germain and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He has worked with Atletico Madrid and Middlesbrough, and was involved in a bid to buy Newcastle United. He is not thought to be in line to earn any commission on the purchase of Everton and the current expectation is that Kenyon would take a role as part of any new ownership. Thornton is the executive chairman of Barrick Gold, one of the world’s largest mining companies with a net worth of £31 billion, and non-executive chairman of PineBridge Investments, having stepped down as co-president of Goldman Sachs in 2003. The consortium’s bid is being advised by investment specialist Michael Klein, along with the US law firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges. Klein was an adviser to the Sir Martin Broughton-fronted bid to buy Chelsea. The group made the final shortlist, but missed out to the Todd Boehly-led consortium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartyBlue Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Rampant speculation on my part here as I don’t know the details of Moshiri’s business relationships but is it possible that he’s been hit hard (indirectly) by the various Russian sanctions and so might be more agreeable to a takeover than would have otherwise been the case?

Romey 1878 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 There's not a chance Moshiri wasn't already in these negotiations when he put out that statement the other day.

But, yes, he will have been aware when he put out his statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These convos were all predicated on surviving. "Hey we can talk but I'm out of you don't survive" type of conversation. Now we've survived there are multiple interested parties. that said how long did it take NCL to get bought. Amanda Stavely was on years...most of which was prob down a reluctant seller in Mike Ashley. At least we have somewhat of a willing seller.

I have to believe this doesn’t happen unless Moshiri puts it out there. Especially with our value likely to go up when we are in the new stadium. That’s why I was recklessly speculating that he may have taken a financial hit over the last couple years and be looking for support/to cash out.

badaids Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 From the figures being touted it looks like Moshiri wants what he paid for the club + the money spent on players + 10 million pocket money. His tenure Basically a complete waste of life and tears. Loving the fact that Kenyon looks like Mr Rottweiler, bloke that Richie and Eddie were kicking the gas from in Bottom.

Randomly just mentioned it to someone on a work call at the moment and his dad is best mates with Kenyon!

Wall Writer Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 It's a wierd one. On the one hand it has been obvious for some time that Moshi MishMash has been out of his depth. The thing that scares me is just when things have a glimmer of stability about them, a new owner may come in and shake it all up again. I was really starting to feel Relaxed that Frankie and his Hollywood team would get a good run at bringing the Power of Love back to the Pleasuredome that is Goodison Park. I just hope that if new owners do come in it doesn't end up with Two Tribes going to war again. Shukes and StevO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
