Anto-EFC Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Anybody heard anything about Anil Ambani's interest in Everton, I know he was a guest at a few games last season and seemed genuinely interested! I cant understand how investers can be interested in Portsmouth/Sunderland/City but not in us... is it good ol' Billy Boy putting them off?

Its probably the fans..... and that horrible team across the park....... Or maybe its all TONY HIBBERTS fault as someone keenly pointed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 I think it was just a rumour and he was never actually a guest? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/everton/3109023/Everton-deny-Anil-Ambani-takeover-talks-Football.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before i joined this forum, i thought it was just unlucky we havn't found any investors, but now i'm starting to wonder if Bill is just tagging us along an doesn't really want to sell. Maybe he wants either someone to give us shed laods of money or someone to buy us but keep him in charge as chairman. Or maybe he just don't want to let go When the likes of Portsmouth an Southampton get taken over, you start to wonder whats up with Everton. 5th best team in England the last 2 years, Fa Cup finalist, Are well know all over the world. Have a very good squad, top manager, has the potentional to be Champions with a decent amount of investment. Has a very large supported and Loyal fan base. Not in masses of debt unlike the rest of the league(bar city an chelsea) I just don't get it. The only reason i can honestly think of is Bill is causing the problem.

Neil S Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 One of the problems is the ongoing stadium issue. Who ever takes over would foot the bill for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't buy that (no pun intended) one bit. Everyone is quick enough to blame BK without considering any other option. Maybe he actually has the best interest of the club at heart, maybe he doesn't want his club to be wrecked by new owners...maybe, just maybe, prospective new owners don't like the fact they inherit around £100-300m of potentials costs for a new stadium. Despite performing well I can imagine we are not financially attractive at the moment. Edited July 10, 2009 by Everton_Worshiper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought DK was "only" costing Everton £70-80 Million? Lots of rumours have flown round especially on kipper about what has/hasnt taken place at meetings with potential buyers or investors. IMO I think Bill knows he cant fund the club to take us to the next level but he would like to stay at the club in some capacity, which I think can only be a recipe for disaster. IF and thats a big if, If the reported asking price is £280 million to purchase the club, you can see why Everton havent been taken over, Everton are being priced out of the takeover game.

garymbaker Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 where did you get this "reported" asking price from? As it says earlier in the post, its rumours and alleged "in the know" people, however it would make sense has to why Everton havent been bought. There could however be other factors that have contributed to this also. As Trev has mentioned, I also think we will be bought out if DK comes to frution, the club would look "more attractive" to a potential investor.
