Nine interested parties?
I caught part of Bill Kenwright on Radio City yesterday being interviewed and claiming that there are currently nine parties who have all signed non-disclosure agreements after showing interest in buying Everton.
I think the interview was simultaneous to several journalists not just exclusive to Radio City. I did not catch the entire interview but I didn't hear and therefore couldn't understand why any reasonably intelligent interviewer failed to ask the most obvious question ? if you are keen to sell, what is the price?

The club will never be for sale while this twat is breathing and has his grubby mitts on it.
043 Posted 14/03/2012 at 22:33:52
If you doubt the attentions of interested parties you doubt the word of the BU.....for shame.....to the naughty corner with you.

Saying that, keeping Moyes would have to be the main selling point for prospective owners. He's done more with less than any manager in the league.
I think our main problem is potential buyers looking at EFC's current financial situation. Better for them opting to wait in anticipation of us selling players to meet the bills, further weakening the squad.
Then simply waiting for us to head towards relegation and the bargain price for one of the top clubs in the EPL and so the world.
This sucks.
Kenwright OUT!!!

Not allowed to doubt the stories of jam tomorrow fella... you aren't toeing the Union line if you do!

"I only tell the truth, and truth is Mike, there are two parties interested in us. One of which is an American business, and the talks are at a delicate stage. This is what the BU have been led to believe by the people inside Goodison."
Dunces hat for you Traverse
081 Posted 15/03/2012 at 00:08:12
Snap!
082 Posted 15/03/2012 at 00:11:40
Not an 'official' statement fucking spare me!
086 Posted 15/03/2012 at 00:21:08
You believe something they did not say is actually what they said, while you've posted at length elsewhere disputing lots of stuff they have actually said...???
Hmmm.... I suppose there may be a strange version of consistency in that position.

Clearly, in that thread, the poster citing the BU's 'club sources' states that he has said more than they agreed would be said. How can you have an official statement on something that is being kept under wraps??!.
Come off it. Unless that contributor is a real Mitty there is a statement there that says the BU believed the club was under scrutiny by a viable American interest.
You can split hairs over the number of interested parties if you like, but, the basic point remains. The BU are lending credibility to what the idiot chairman is saying.
137 Posted 15/03/2012 at 09:43:46
In fact Robbie was commenting on a 'whisper' that he had heard.
138 Posted 15/03/2012 at 09:47:01
Not sure what your point is, do you support BK and Co?
I want a complete change of regime at Everton - BK, Earl etc AND Moyes down the road.
This puts me at odds with the BU, ie, I'm "not toeing the line".
But until I get off my fat arse and do something, they get my support because they are Evertonians having a go ? something sadly lacking at Everton.
Really don't get this gleeful little sniping at ordinary Evertonians trying their best.
142 Posted 15/03/2012 at 10:15:36
Go onto the BU website.
Then shut up !
145 Posted 15/03/2012 at 10:28:24
What I can't understand is why, after yet more fantasy following untruth from BK, so many Evertonians are willing to back him. I just don't get it.
147 Posted 15/03/2012 at 10:26:09
The point is you bunch of witless wonders are getting all jittery about the idiot in charge making his, usual, comments and your 'Evertonians having a go' have been party to the same thing and scrapped a demo based on it!. Unless you are genuinely half-witted enough to swallow that line about 'not wanting to disrupt the team performances'.
Fantastic...you couldn't write this!. How blinkered and myopic are you people?.
150 Posted 15/03/2012 at 10:47:08
Blue Unions "club sources". No forgive me if Im wrong but didn't it royally kick off between the club and BU after their interview with Kenwright earlier in the season.
Do you really think the BU have credible sources within the club after the aftermath of that??? The BU havent made a comment about these American investors that they have been told about by the club.
Do you not think for just one second that the club could be leading the BU on here??? Just like they try and do with the fans!!
Come on fella get with the script.
151 Posted 15/03/2012 at 10:48:46
You seem distraught, are you alright?
If you support BK & co. just say - no need for tantrums.
153 Posted 15/03/2012 at 11:00:25
You just couldn't make this up could you, it's so ludicrous ?
Oh, they just did.....must be season ticket renewal time !
168 Posted 15/03/2012 at 12:07:05
Robbie came on, who is a BU member, and intimated the main reason the protest didn't go ahead was because the club was at a delicate point in negotiations with an American firm/buyer.
Steve is suggesting that it's possible the BU have been fed a line by the club yet again?
Focusing on whether this was done in an official capacity means fuck all.

180 Posted 15/03/2012 at 12:17:02
BUT
They HAVE, as the Blue Union were demanding, gotten a 3rd party to help find a buyer:

Nor do I. I actively support them and bought into what they are trying to achieve.
After hearing Robbie's reason's I could understand the reason's for cancelling, though still didn't agree.
If I were a prospective buyer seeing fan unrest aimed fairly and squarely at the current board would IMO make a deal more likely to happen.
After so many lies, untruths and innuendo's from the board it's hard to see how they haven't played the BU lad's like a fiddle as they always do with the fans. I suppose only time will tell.
190 Posted 15/03/2012 at 13:22:17
It's not April 1st for a couple of weeks yet is it?
191 Posted 15/03/2012 at 13:34:10
I said elsewhere that I thought the reasons the BU had actually stated were a fair call. Can you imagine the reaction if they had gone ahead given the fiasco on Tuesday night?......a golden opportunity for Moyes and BK to pass the buck which thankfully they didn't get. If at the end of this week we are still mid-table (obviously now) AND lose to Sunderland (God forbid), there will be only one place to look and blame... the Dugout.
192 Posted 15/03/2012 at 13:44:14
Then it dawned on me.
It's the function room.
There's a wedding reception there (bride isn't to happy)
Couple of kids parties....... You get the rest.
197 Posted 15/03/2012 at 13:59:44
OH yes BULLSHIT
198 Posted 15/03/2012 at 13:51:43
Elstone was quoted in November gone, that they were in "genuine talks" ? Where are the updates?
Now soft shite (BK) has told anyone who will listen, "no-one is buying football clubs" ? then they are talking to nine parties.
Then we have the old £500m chestnut: new ground ? £300m, £150m for the club, £50m on players, blah fucking blah.
Is no-one with access to these people ever going to ask the right questions, or call them out over the lies?

Competent and Radio City are two thing's you'd rarely see in the same sentence.
429 Posted 16/03/2012 at 10:32:31
How much more contempt is this buffon going to treat us with...
9 interested parties but as time will prove NOT ONE genuine buyer.
Heard it all before Kenwright....it's boring now.
436 Posted 16/03/2012 at 10:45:57
Where are the the movers and shakers, the bigwigs, the magnates, the powers that be?
There has got to be someone of influence who can see what is happening/ has happened to out Great club over the past 20 odd years.
The people who are running our club have a ?duty of care? but it seems to me that they couldn?t care less.
568 Posted 16/03/2012 at 20:00:54
do you have a hidden agenda when it comes to Mr Kenwright ?

The difference is, though, that Rangers are a national treasure and institution in Scotland, with support drawn from all over the country and from Scots overseas. They have a modern stadium and regularly qualify for the Champions League or, at least, Europa League. I know that they usually have only Celtic to beat at home but they get 50,000+ gates even when they're playing Inverness or St Johnstone.
Compare that with our situation - need for new stadium, seldom qualify for Europa League, never mind Champions League, ground seldom full even for big matches, scarcely any following beyond Merseyside - you get the picture? I do agree, though, that failure to receive even one serious offer to buy the club over the past ten years is astonishing and it would be interesting to know why so many "expressions of interest" have led nowhere.
988 Posted 18/03/2012 at 10:37:41
Wouldn`t be surprised if eight of them weren`t Doddy`s mates from the Freshy How many times does the Drama Queen think he can pull that one? How bloody thick does he think we all are?
An insult of a chairman who never fails to insult his club`s supporters.

as soon as they find out the conditions of a sale there will be nine green bottles falling from the wall
It is over 12 months since Kenwright told us there were 4 interested parties.
That was just before season ticket renewal as well.
