How come a tiny club like Southampton have have only been on the market for not even a week and they already have a buyer and we have bin for sale for four years and no buyers its beyond a joke now

Firstly, Southampton are not a tiny club. Show some respect please. You would be the first to moan if Man U supporters called us a tiny club! Secondly, they have a new stadium. Thirdly, how much did they sell for? How much is Bill asking for Everton?
Finally and the most important.why are you whinging when everything is going so well? Why do we need a new owner when we can at least trust the current one to take us in the right direction? It might not be at the speed you want, but we are going in the right direction. How about Pampers Nappies buying us so that all the team can run around advertising Pampers. The stadium could be re-named as the Poo Poo stadium.get real.

Tbh shakey, I wouldn't want their owner here. She knows nothing about football.

Well said Degsy. Being a blue hasn't felt this good for a long time. Unfortunately some peoples glass will always be half empty

Personally I can't see what's the problem with Bill doing a share issue for 49% of the club if he wants to raise money to pay off loans or whatever and have money to invest in players

If the club is worth 150 mill kenwright would pocket 75m - he could recoup the money he paid and if he wanted to he could give the other 30 odd million for players

I suspect he has no intention of ever giving up the train set - would you if you owned everton?

But even if this is the case the selling 49 per cent would still allow him to retain control but we free up the current interest money (of several million a year) to go on extra player wages

Don't know why he doesn't do this - but then he loses a bit of control that way and has to listen to shareholder group

The money he 'borrowed' for his stake in the club was loaded onto the club debt so to give up his train set he's going to want silly money. Plus he's not the only one wanting huge profits, you also have his cohorts Earl and Green pulling his strings. He's just the custodian, who takes all the heat when things go tits up. The others get a free pass.

Then there's the stadium and the pitiful sponsorships we're tied in and us we're paying around £9m in interest per year from shady BVI loans. No one with a modicum of sense would consider buying us. If sly pulled the plug we'd be the first to go to the wall.
