Hey Ed

Can you cut to the chase:
1. When is Bill finally actually leaving?
2, Why the pantomine of 2 days stated that did not occur.
3. Why was this ever said?
4. New investment brings in Bahrain money. Any bananas here?

{Ed002's Note - 1. It is not known - in theory Moshiri could force Bill Kenwright out at reasonably short notice.
2. I don't know what the 2 days refers to, sorry.
3. I don't know who has said what, but I don't see the need to brief the fans until some sort of shape of the new structure is clear - and that is in hand.
4. It is not as simple as that, it brings in money from an American Sports Investment organisation that manage investment funds from around the world. The investment opens the opportunity for loans that could later be converted in to equity that would go a long way towards resolving the financial issues around finishing the new stadium that I have explained before - so the loans can be serviced by the club or Moshiri and other shareholders could transfer them to equity and giving the shares to MSP, thus watering down their holding. Given the change of circumstances that I have mentioned before, Mr Moshiro wants an early exut.}

My worry is that next season, the squad is going to be even thinner than it was last year. The club can’t sustain the current wage bill and is therefore hamstrung bringing new players in, well at least that’s my understanding of the situation. Even if a gazillionaire bought the club, the squad couldn’t have tons of money chucked at it could it? What sort of proposition is Everton at the moment to a potential player? Not a very attractive one unfortunately.

{Ed025's Note - i think the club still has the pulling power that a lot dont pierre, the history, the fan base and a very good manager, of course there are parts of the club that will put players off mate but im sure a lot of good players would bite your arm off to get the chance to make a difference..

The Club will not be in the same situation.

Love your optimism Ed025, bu realistically go long can we keep pulling on history? Last trophy was 1995, last decent foray in Europe was what, 2005/ 6?

Honestly speaking g those were the glory days for most supporters. The buyout has been nothing short of catastrophic. Tom Davies leaving freed up what, £20k-£30k a week? We’re still carrying probably half a million a week in wages for players who contribute nothing.

Would be happy to survive again next season (earlier than this one ideally) , by which time more contracts will be up, and they’re the bigger ones.

Tough times but until Kenwright goes and Moshiri either does too or let’s someone run the club who knows what they’re doing, I can see it getting any easier.

{Ed025's Note - you have to have a bit of optimism Windsor, its what keeps us going, it will be another tough season i expect mate but what else do we have but hope?..

I think we have some pulling power but not like the old days, I think that was glaringly obvious when forest seemed to be a more attractive option than us when we were "apparently in for the same plsyer (s) ". Whether it's true I don't know, plus these days unfortunately money talks louder than a proud history. But I do think Dyche will push harder to get who he wants, more than frank did. So I'm a little more confident now than I was at the end of the season,

US Govt website says $165m (£130m) raised by MSP EFC Investors. Hopefully that means the beginning of the end for Moshiri era at EFC. Obviously Bill is staying until new board is in position, as someone needs to be in charge of club day to day running.

Have to agree with Woburn on this I'm afraid, I would predict more doom and gloom next season for the same reasons. Moshiri and kenwright remain, very poor squad worth little money and barley any money to spend on players. Already reams are making headway in signing players not everton though never do until we are on the verge of a new season. As for pulling power yep like a kia pianto pulling a 4 berth caravan.
