Anil Ambani interested?
Comments (73)
Just said on Sky Sports News that Anil Ambani (the sixth richest man in the world) has dropped his interest in Newcastle, due to the current situation there.
They then said that it is rumoured that he will look to buy another club and reports suggest that Everton are that club. They said that he will be a guest of Bill Kenwright at the Standard Liege game on Weds night.
Interesting...!!!

Does anyone think that maybe the reason Moyes hasn?t signed his contract yet has something to do with all this takeover speculation and possible interest from this lot? He?s said on the OS that things are progressing and something may happen soon. Maybe he?s holding his horses until they?re in and it?s all cleared up... Interesting!!!
You got a link to this?
Fingers crossed...
Darren, above.....
I am sure DM is keeping his powder dry until he sees what happens with Kirkby, takeovers and all the other shite that has bedevilled our close season. Lets face it, he has been "days away" from signing for months! He doesn’t have to rush as he still has a year to go and can watch things unfold without committing himself.
I am in two minds about this Ambani situation. I appreciate that we cannot expect loyalty from any sugardaddy, but this guy, if he decides to buy in, is not exactly getting his first choice and may only come to us to satisfy his whim of owning a Premiership club.
On the flip side, it would be fantastic to be able to compete financially with the big guns and even better to outmuscle the muppets across the park!
Lets see what happens...........

I’ve heard of Red Indians but not Blue ones.
Newcastle are definitely the cowboys!

It’s bullshit and basically a Sky journalist has looked on Ambani’s wiki site where, for at least a week, it states he is rumoured to be a guest of Bills at the Liege game. No references, just a joke. Don’t watch that space.
Very interesting but does anyone actually think it will happen??
At least Bill can earn his crust and start to do what he does best and that's smooze and bullshit his way to a nice profit.
I?ve not been to GP since the cup semi last season; any atmosphere like the one that night will surely show these potential buyers the passion that they would be buying into and maybe tempt them.
Fingers crossed... I suppose.

John,
It may or may not be bullshit. I?m just stating what the North East reporter on Sky Sports said.
The facts are that this guy is currently in the country and wants to buy a premier league club. He was initailly looking at Newcastle but because of the shit going on, and the fact the Mike Ashley hasn?t communicated with him, he?s decided to bail out.
He is looking to buy someone so why shouldn?t it be us??

I can confirm that Anil is my best friend and he wants to buy Standard Liege. Hence the visit. This is about as believable as the post.
Iain: he may or may not be interested in buying Everton. He will not, though, be visiting Bill at the Liege game. That bit is pure bullshit and I know exactly what the source is: Wikipedia. Go and check it out and then come back and tell me it isn’t obviously just another made up entry.
I would just like to say the same information is on Wkapedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Ambani
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anil_Ambani
Wikipedia did not say that earlier on.
Maybe they have taken that from the information coming from Newcastle and Sky Sports?

I remember reading a feature on this guy a while back. It had a load of pictures of his house which I?ve got to say looked bigger than Goodison Park.
Maybe he?ll re-locate us to his back garden!!!
Seriously though I can?t see Kenright genuinely looking at a deal until after he get?s a definite yes or No over Kirkby.
The result will dictate what he & his ?ghost? backers can hold out for.

Can’t see this being anything but a load of rubbish.
However would we REALLY want to have a billionaire in charge? Would we want to be a megarich blokes play thing that means nothing?
We would all want some kind of investment but not so that the club changes 100%

"We have denied this earlier and we have no plans to take over Newcastle United or any other English club," head of Corporate Communications for Ambani?s parent group Reliance, Gaurav Wahi, told The Journal.

The guy is saying NO OTHER ENGLISH CLUBS!
Iain: Wikipedia has had that up for at least a week now. I saw it then, I’m not in the habit of confusing today with 7 days ago. You’ve either got selective memory or are confused.
Sur/John
This is on the Newcastle Chronicle website this evening
"INDIAN billionaire Anil Ambani says he has pulled out of a deal trying to buy Newcastle United.
A spokesman for his Reliance Group said this afternoon: ?We are no longer interested in buying Newcastle because of the turbulent conditions which currently exist there and because we have been unable to have any satisfying talks with anyone from the club.?
So there is definitely something going on.
The information that Sur refers to is from 08/09/08 and it would appear that things have changed. As I have said, this guy is interested in buying someone. Why wouldn?t BK approach him?

Iain: It is a long way from this man not buying Newcastle to him being Bill’s guest at the Liege game. He isn’t Bill’s guest at the Liege game. This is a made up story which was placed on Wikipedia a week ago. That is it mate. Simple as that.
May be we should all chant his name and make he feel very welcome.
Billy Bullshit will only sell Everton when they get the ground move ? to make him more money! Now the only other reason IF he does sell now will only be that DK has got no chance on earth.
Well Terry, I think that is called hedging your bets!!!!!
John,
What makes you the authority on this?? How do you know he won?t be at GP next Thurs? Ok, so it?s on Wikipedia. It?s also on there that he was looking to buy Newcastle and that is true.
Have you spoken to him and he?s told you he?s not going to be there then?

Iain: take it from me, he will not be the Liege game. You remind me of one those religious zealots that believes that to prove your point you merely have to show that it cannot be disproved. It doesn’t work like that, mate. If you believe you know something, then show us the evidence. And no, Wikipedia isn’t evidence. Try taking a class in philosophy and you’ll understand the differences between argument, wishful thinking and assertion!
John,
There you go again "take it from me". I’d rather not if it’s all the same. Just tell me how you know and I’ll be happy.
I didn’t say Wikipedia is evidence. I said that you have no idea what is true and there and what isn’t. There are two stories that are closely linked. One has turned out to be true so you can’t guarantee that the other one isn’t.
I’m not saying he will be there. I’m just saying he might. You on the other hand are making a statement of fact which you can’t prove.

Anil Ambani = An Alibi Man. It’s what Bill needs.
I don?t know what they?ll be watching on Wednesday night, but it won?t be the Standard Liege game ? cos that?s on Thursday!
You do release that Wikipedia is user related content? Anyone can edit it so unless those details become fact they rarely stay on the site for long.
Anil Ambani has been tenuously linked with us via the media for months, so to has Lakshmi Mittal but until we see someone from their organisations come out and say they’re genuinely interested, I would suggest that its pure speculation from all media sources - forget Wikipedia!

Iain: I see the error of my ways. This man will be at Goodison as Bill’s guest. He’ll invest £500m in Everton. How do I know? Because I’m just about to enter it on Wikipedia! FFS!!!
Apparently, Anil Ambani, or some members of his family, were at Goodison for the PSV friendly as guests of Kenwright.
Am I the only one with a slight reservation about being bought by a billionaire now that it's been confirmed that Anil Ambani will be at the Standard Liege game?
If we were bought and went on to become like Chelsea, I think it would actually be a sad thing. For years I've put my dislike of Chelsea (only when they beat us, really) down to jealousy but now I just feel as if soon every Premier League team will be owned by a Billionaire and our league will be phenomenal, and the rest of Europe will suffer. Already some of the old greats like Benfica are second rate sides because of money. It certainly isn't because there's no good players coming from those countries.
I don't know if this is how people felt when John Moores owned the Mersey millionaires but I'm getting gradually disillusioned with the money that circulates around football, it just feels like cheating somehow.
John, why would you be looking at Anil Ambanis wiki profile over a week ago?
I never believe wikl but it’s had the comedy element taken off it this afternoon where it talked about chang beer. Nothing else has been edited about Everton. And that is because I looked him up today for the first time!

Well as the guy is building the first $1 Billion home in the world (nearer $2 Billion actually) I’m sure he can spare some loose change to buy Everton with.
John Cats - Jo Ambani was at the PSV game - fact.
And yes it is on Wikipedia.
Anyone can put info on the Wikipedia site but if it is not backed up by fact then it will be removed by a moderator. This may take 24 hours.
Iain -I have a feeling you may well be correct. I also have a feeling that Bill, after his "woe is me" speech at the EGM, regarding investment etc, is setting the stage for his big show stopping announcement. ?It is a miracle, I have found a billionaire?.
BK is a showman after all.
Get investment in now, so Everton FC can get into the investors blood, as it has with so many players/staff over the years.
I would rather have a billionaire take us into the Champions League etc and we become the number 1 team in England, let alone the city, than lounge mid table waiting until the bubble eventually bursts.

And if and when the bubble does burst we will be at least in the same boat as Man U and the big boys. Anyway, I do not think the bubble will burst for a very long time and I would like to compete with the best again in my lifetime.
Mr Ambani, if you read TW, ignore the moaners and come on board. It will be a challenge but you will be buying one of the oldest, most historic clubs in the world. Add in a great manager and brilliant fans and we can take on the whole of Europe.
The Stadium - throw Kirkby out and look at ALL the options, which a brilliant businessman would anyway, without us telling him so. However, I feel that a new, very wealthy owner, may well make Hicks and Gillete an offer they cannot refuse re sharing Stanley Park.
One last point ? I would certainly trust the Ambani family before Arabian oil money or weak American dollars. I believe if Messers Ambani invest it will be for the long term and not, as Man City fans may find out, a fickle buy. I, for one, pray the rumour is true and by the time of the derby, our club will truly be on the up again and worth more finacially than that shower of shite.
From red shite taunts of ?One club, one city,? not so long ago, to us having more money than them to build a stadium anywhere in the city and Moyes being able to buy the players he really wants in January. If there is a God of Football please make this rumour be true.
It could be time for Everton FC to rise again and regain our place amongst the footballing elite. It is said money does not buy you happiness, ( yer right !), but it does buy you new players and a redeveloped Goodison/new stadium and that will do for a start.

I reckon he will be there. Bill has told Elstone to jump all over him when we score so Bill can dip his pockets.

John Cats. If you are going to fling some psuedo intellectual blarney around then perhaps you should follow your own advice. To quote someone from an ealier post, John, "you remind me of one those religious zealots that believes that to prove your point you merely have to show that it cannot be disproved. It doesn?t work like that, mate. If you believe you know something, then show us the evidence."
Just because it appeared on Wilkpedia (and I don?t challenge your views as to its credibility) that doesn?t necessarily mean that it isn?t so ? it just means that you don?t like Wilkpedai and you are using this perpsective to demean / ridicule someone else?s point of view. Perhaps is time for you to follow your own advice and provide your evidence ? as distinct from opinion ? regarding this matter.
FWIW, according to the Sun:
Everton have been approached by Indian multi-billionaire Anil Ambani to discuss buying out the club.

Before some of you get off on dreams of a billionaire takeover, just think of the chaos that such has brought to Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham. Even Man U are only one USA financial crisis away from disaster and Chelsea go in fear of a Putin clamp-down! Give me the home comforts of ?Good Old Bill? any day. Just be careful what you wish for!
Richard, your postings backing your friend BK are as credible as Blairs backing of Bush during the invasion of Iraq and believe me I?m wishing my friend. I would have Larry Mo or Curly running our club than this moron. I?m affraid that people like you and Madden either have something to gain from his ineptitude or are just deluded fools.
Somebody’s got their mush in the bush over this one. Utter cods’s wallop.
SInging ?we love Anil? on Thursday night might be taken the wrong way (excuse the pun)...
how about some Indian flags and cricket outfits in the crowd vs Standard Liege though?
You never know... let?s be avin? you Anil!
It?s a grand old club... goodness gracious me!

Suspect it's just another smokescreen in the light of recent events, both within our club and within the Premier League generally ie club buyouts etc etc. ? uncle Bill's trying to give the impression that he?s deeply trying to entice multi multi multi billionares.
Lessons learnt this summer lads ? don?t build your hopes up.

The above is a credible source :-)
Good to see the Guardian put some meat on the bones.... hope the talks go well and that the takeover with quality structure and funding is in place for January to strengthen Moyes?s hand to secure the big trophies for the Pride of Merseyside... COYB!

The only Anil Kenwright will give it us is right up the arse like he always does!

I?d love it to happen, but with BK, there tends to be smoke with no fire. Doesn?t matter how many unofficial rumours there are, it means diddly. Has the summer transfer debacle passed from memory already??
If we do get bought up in this way ? and I share a lot of the doubts and worries about the "billionaire?s plaything" scenario ? sounds like a better option than most.
Unlike some of the alternatives around the world, it?s a fortune backed by genuine and long lasting business acumen, not on inherited wealth, oil revenues or hoovering up a fractious Russia?s natural resources. No human rights abuses, from a democratic nation that?s moving towards being the most populous in the world, and a genuine economic powerhouse.
None of which makes any judgement on whether it may or may not happen. But sounds like something I?d prefer than a (supposed) Arab royal who still hasn?t confirmed any involvement, a Thai fraudster, an American happy to base the whole deal on increased debt for the club, or a Russian oligarch.

I have put in calls to all my usual sources and can categorically state that ?this story has no legs?. That?s a direct quote from an Everton top-notcher. I will even go as far as to say that should it EVER happen, I make a solemn promise NEVER to post again.
Now there?s a deal for you!
Now there?s a deal for you!
This was what the Guardian had to say : "Ambani may now turn his attentions to Everton. This week his representatives contacted Bill Kenwright, Everton’s owner, and asked if he would be willing to enter talks. Kenwright, who has appointed Keith Harris of Seymour Pearce to flush out potential investors, is understood to have responded positively and could meet Ambani’s representatives next week."
Sounds believable enough to me. The question is how much significance do talks like this have. If Kenwright is to be believed, he’s had contact with numerous potential investors since becoming chairman. Maybe the only difference this time is that it’s leaked out into the public domain. Bear in mind there haven’t even been any preliminary talks yet as far as we know, so even Kenwright may have little idea at this stage whether anything is likely to come of it.

Laurie: the onus is not on me to disprove an unsubstantiated rumour. What sort of world do you and people like you live in? One where any old theory is worthy of respect merely because it is held as true by someone? Jesus wept.

John Cats - the world we live in is an optimistic one. Yes it is rumour but believe it or not some rumours come true.
As said J Ambani was at the PSV game with BK, as seen on Setanta Sports.
Is it possible in your pessimistic world to have a little patience ?
Why not wait and see if an Ambani representative issues a denial over the next 48 hours or if Mr Ambani attends the Liege game ?
It is not blind faith, it is just a bit of optimism and hope.
If it does not happen then so be it.
There is always a chance my friend.

Thanks!
Could you, Mr. Kenrick, not put links to The Sun newspaper on your website please?
That paper is no friend to the people of Liverpool. Shame on you sir.

Unfortunately, Dawson, even though it is a shite newspaper, it is a more reputable source than Wikipedia and appears to be the first as such to carry this story.
" (the sun newsapaper) it is a more reputable source than Wikipedia"
It’s a really bad day for Wiki then, or perhaps bad choice of words? Well aware of Wiki’s user editing, and not advocating it’s use as a source of breaking news whatsoever, but I’d never take as red a single word printed in that shyte paper.

I think the Sun newspaper, like their relatives at Sky, actually took the rumour from Wikipedia. Dodd is correct, this has no legs whatsoever and fans expecting to get a glimpse of Ambani on Thursday night will be disappointed.
What happened to the days when Toffeeweb didn’t directly link Sun articles? Why the change?
I personally think he’s coming....
I also loved Claus Thomsons hair....
I also loved Claus Thomsons hair....
The question of sources is a bit of a red herring here. The guy may well be meeting up with Kenwright - let’s assume for argument’s sake that he is - but as I said previously, that doesn’t mean that he’s about to shower us with money.
The Post say that Ambani won't be at the Liege game, but that his son was at the PSV game and that intermediaries have been asked to set up meetings.
And just for you poisoned minded cynics, I doubt if Bill Kenwright will come out of any takeover with any more than he's put in. He must be the only unpaid chairman in the Premier League, he sweats blood for the club he loves, and still gets shit thrown at him when something like today's news comes about.
Another rumour spead by the Bill haters as far as I’m concerned.
Let’s look at the scenario..................Some biff says that a rich bloke from the sub-continent wants a slice of the Blues. Bill is ’reported’ to be interested. It’s all hyped up and doesn’t come off and BANG! Bill gets the blame.
How about...................the guy isn’t interested but fancies watching the Blues. Bill asks him does he want a slice but he politely declines. He enjoys the game and Bill keeps looking.
Thats a bit closer.
In Bill we trust

No Mike Neely, Most EVERTONIANS sweat blood and live for their club, without payment. He is a LIAR and a CONMAN. He knows exactly how to play on our emotions because hes an ACTOR. That goes for you Tony also. Goodnight, godbless. Maybe see you tomorrow at Stoke.
If people don't trust the man, he only has himself to blame. I won't list his indiscretions ? we all know them. By the way I remember taking my (then) bird to see the model of the Kings Dock stadium at the Maritime Musem, I still get the piss taken out of me now by her and her relatives everytime his name?s mentioned.
Amazing that you can call someone a liar and a conman (in capitals) and not be expected to justify that statement in court. In any other medium, it would amount to libel and both you, Dave Moorcroft, and the Editor would be on very dangerous ground.
BB has not, to my knowledge ever stated that this Anil bloke has begun talks and until he does it?s all speculation. I guess this bile which a great Evertonian suffers is pay-back for saving the Club from its model previous owner. What lovely people support our club!
Have heard his family are only after a free ticket & meal for the match on Thursday.
We look like good contenders to give it to them!!

Doddy, you scare me sometimes. Do you follow BK around, taking pictures from afar? You remind me of an episode of Alan Partridge. The one with the lad who used to be (so I was told by my other half ) in Emmerdale. Alan goes back to the lads place, and he stumbles into one of the rooms, and the walls are plastered with photos of Alan, and there is a cardboard cut ? out on the chair, with a partridge mask on. I can just imagine you, sitting in your bedsit, surrounded by all your BK photos, and you going to bed with your BK mask on.
I respect you for backing BK, but you take it to the extreme, and if I was BK, I wouldn?t walk down any dark alley?s, while your around.
