Club Everton - The comedy

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He’s a 3/10, shit manager - their owners are 0/10, negligent criminals
Yep I agree with that.

I think Dyche is the "better" of the "low-block" managers available, probably him and Moyes are best two. There is evidence that his players tend to buy into him and his methods.

But his Everton team hasn't solidified, which is the least I would have expected from him regardless of all of Everton's financial and boardroom issues.
 
Huge game for them tonight at home to Wolves, lose and they are guaranteed to slip into the bottom 3 with Liverpool at home next up.

They’ve been lucky the last few years so far as there has always been 3 teams worse than them - I don’t think that’s the case this year. They’ve are better than Southampton (although they lost to them) and I think they are marginally better than Ipswich.

Not sure there is a 3rd side this year. I reckon the 2 last relegation spots could go down to the wire with Ipswich, Everton, Wolves and Leicester. I expect Palace to pull clear.

I disagree - they’ve been solid at certain points but the culture and ownership should make them relegation fodder imo

Think Wolves will pull clear too - better manager and players
 

The Friedkin take over of Everton probably in peril now.

Creditors of 777/A Cap have a court order in place forbidding any negotiation on the 200m loan from A Cap/777 to Everton agreeing any write down of the 200m without their/court consent.

Everton have so many loans made to it, that I doubt a deal is possible to redeem them all at face value ...... and Moshiri's shareholding in Everton is worth zero and likely his loans to club. Only loans which might be redeemed at face value are the loans secured on the main stadium.

And the situation may become more messy - A Cap's 3 insurance companies regulated in Utah have been suspended from writing any new business from 31 December de to their financial situation, but there are still 2 more insurance regulated in South Carolina ....... I imagine the regulators will be looking very carefully to see if they should follow Utah regulators

Screw it.... I'm still jealous they got Moshiri...... Cos he ambitiously over-paid on Walcott & Siggurdson once. Proper owner. 💪

Words I thought I might never read !

The terms of the deal will be interesting - I'd guess at £1 consideration for all of Moshiri's shares in Everton and loans, with an upside payment if the loans from the likes of 777 and A Cap can be repaid at a significant discount.

Complete basket case of a club : I wonder if new owners are allowed to pay say £100m - £200m into club to help them with playing squad etc. as part of agreement with PL to take Everton over.

I doubt that very much. I don’t see how clubs would agree to that exception. They can loan (no longer at mate rates) or covert to equity, but otherwise I’m pretty sure it’s the same standard rule.

Maybe but some things get 'lost' when a club is bought - I don't think anyone is entirely clear on what happened to Abranovich loan to Chelsea of circa £1.5 bn ......... I suspect its still somewhere in the Chelsea group of companies as quasi equity (as the loan had no repayment date and Abramovich hasn't been seen for about 2 years now so hasn't been able to extract the money ) which would partly explain how Chelsea financed the acquisition of about £ 1 bn of players.
