How would *I* know if the price is too high even if I knew what it was? I'm not an expert on such things unlike the KC guys.

Too much for the Kansas City lot. What does it matter what it was exactly?

So, as has been speculated, the asking price is too high.

I saw the question a few minutes ago and honestly, got all correct except Rooney's shirt. I just drew a blank. I thought those questions weren't too hard.

They have already denied it.

A statement from Everton Board OUT!: http://evertonviral.com/everton-board-out-statement/ Even if you think Kenwright is doing a jolly good job, what happens when he has to step down? He has had health issues. Who takes over, Earl, the Spurs fan with no interest in Everton?

Yeah. A rare breed, a fan who had a clue.

There have been mentions from people who have no reason to lie about it about couple of billionaires. And the point is that there would be interested people if the price was reasonable.

I already did, but just in case you missed things like message #952, here's your argument again:

What does this have to do with the original argument?

So, EVERY OTHER team has been sold which means EVERY OTHER team in the Premier League has been a better buy and it just happens that Everton is the only club no-one wants to buy? Yeah, right. I'm amazed you don't understand how stupid that sounds. And Kenwright owns less than one fourth of the shares so he doesn't decide it alone. The issue is that the owners want a ridiculous return on their original investment. No-one has been willing to fork 150 million (current price is 200 million) because, as you said, the club needs more investment on top of that. The same owners bought the club for 20 million 16 years ago so they want a cool 1000 percent profit.

The issue was that you think there are no buyers. EVERY OTHER club in the Premier has been sold. You then tried to divert this simple fact with your "but how have the other clubs done" comment which has NOTHING to do with your stupid comment. For me it's enough to consider that someone like Lerner could have handed 200 million to Moyes instead of tossers like O'Neill. Clubs have been sold but how many of them had a two-time Manager of the Year? How many times during Moyes's time did the fans think that if he had just 30 million we would have a chance of a top four? What if he had been handed a 100+ million transfer kitty? He could have signed a few really good forwards and added some quality and depth to other areas.

Some like City do quite a lot better. Arsenal and ManU haven't done too badly either. And I know what you say next so don't bother. Your original argument was stupid, don't try to get away from that by diverting the issue.

Every other Premier club has changed ownership at least once (and half of the Championship as well) while Kenwright & co have owned Everton, so saying no-one is interested is plain silly.

I responded in kind.

No it isn't.

Let's be clear here: the current owners won't give a toss who they sell to when that day comes as long as there's enough money on the table.

There will be a long list of suitors including plenty of CL teams after him. Arsenal seem heavily linked.

Tielemans is a pipe dream, he's one of the most promising players in Europe.

Bergkamp was 7.5 million in 1995 and Henry was 11 million. Viera cost 3.5 million in 1996.

ManU bought their spine, though. Schmeichel, Cantona, Keane etc. were crucial in the 90's and later they bought players like Ferdinand, Rooney and van Persie to bring them trophies. Arsenal. And what would Arsene's early teams have been without Bergkamp, Henry and Viera? They all cost some serious money at the time. So you don't need City like money but you do need enough to add quality to your side. Moyes managed to build good teams but his teams always lacked that little extra. Had he had money to buy three or four quality players who knows what might have happened. But the club could never afford the 50+ million.

How many clubs in England have managed to win the Premier League with this plan?

Some more interesting stuff from WatchedToffee but I guess the know-alls knew this all along. http://evertonviral.com/unmasking-the-power-behind-the-throne/

You also need a big transfer pot to get those players in the first place.

The solution is not to consider Premier League and grassroots in the same bracket anymore. PL is Hollywood-like entertainment. Your blockbuster movies where real surprises rarely happen anymore. It's about the big stars and special effects rather than great scripts. Safe, easy to watch but not very fullfilling.
