Everton Rumours

26 May 2024 16:02:30
Arthur Melo being mentioned as a possible incoming.

26 May 2024 16:34:16
Can’t see it myself, GB.

26 May 2024 17:00:21
It’s just another name eh mate we will
Be linked with loads of players.

26 May 2024 17:53:28
With Leeds not getting back in the Premiership I can see Harrison wanting to be with us this coming season as well.

26 May 2024 17:55:59
Minteh from Newcastle with DCL as part of a deal hmmmm is another one.

26 May 2024 18:15:03
It's truly started. 1 minute ed002 is telling us the crisis the clubs in, the next Newsnow is linking us to anyone. Thanks for info GB but I won't be believing any of it.

26 May 2024 20:14:24
I can see us making a move for Harrison, either another loan or permanent. SD likes gim, he can be frustrating at times but he is a 100% effort player.

{Ed025's Note - he does give 100% Swinners but hes all left foot playing on the right, i dont really get that mate..

26 May 2024 11:06:05
It is possible that 777 Partners will seek Chapter 11 bancruptcy protection whilst it re-organises the business. However, they could be forced down the Chapter 7 route which will see a Trustee (like an Administrator) take over a recover all debts and sell all assets to distribute to pay debts of their own.

This would put Everton at huge risk and needing to find £210M or more quickly to repay 777 Partners. The value of the total debt will mean that Moshiri may need to sell the club for a nominal amount (say £1) to a buyer willing to take on the immediate £600M worth of debt owed to third parties.

Moshiri will also need to write off the further £450M owed to him in loans or stike a deal for payment down the line somewhere. MSP are able to take control of either the new stadium or 51% of Moshiri's shares if the club cannot service the £159M debt with them.

Rights and Media Funding, who blocked the investment proposed by MSP last year, are owed £225M secured against Goodison Park and the other assets the club owns.

I cannot see 777 Partners taking over the club. MSP would be a good solution but will be wary of taking over the huge debt. A suggestioin that John Textor would look to take the club in to the same group as Lyon and Botofogo is credible.

However, it is not something that could happen overnight as he is a part owner of Crystal Palace and would need to sell on first, then go through the whole process to obtain approval from the Premier League, FA and the Financial Conduct Authority during which time the club can only accrue more debt or enter Administration whilst they wait.

Right now, the club will have to find a way to restructure at least some of the debt or head in to Administration during the close season. For me, the best solution Everton can look for would be an MSP takeover who would have to look to agree with those owed money to restructure all of the debt in exchange for interest payments whilst the debts are cleared. This would likely involve selling the new stadium and renting it back.

26 May 2024 12:41:25
Out of everything I hope we don't lose the stadium. That's the one thing that could save us financially, eventually.

{Ed002's Note - There is no money to finish it and debt is already secured against it unfortunately.}

26 May 2024 13:11:17
Very grim indeed. And here's us lot worrying about playing pretty football!

26 May 2024 13:10:44
Blimey that is very worrying thank you ed 002 for the feedback last few months on the current financial ruins of our club its a shame are owner hasn't communicated with fans unlike yourselfs who have provided us with latest updates and news so thank you to all eds and hope everyone has good summer.

26 May 2024 15:38:59
I thought Chelsea and man city don't? I've just looked on other websites and all of them have different answers
Think I will just forget I ever looked Ed.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea own their stadium. Newcastle do, and so do Forest.}

26 May 2024 15:58:12
Thanks ed. More misinformation on the web.

26 May 2024 16:13:19
Hi Ed002

Quick question on the administration route that you’ve mentioned above -

If the club go into administration during the closed season, what are the chances of it being resolved before the new season kicks off again? Therefore what would be the scenarios surrounding administration in terms of points deductions etc

Very grim reading though, and certainly very confusing for me.

{Ed002's Note - Nothing will be resolved that quickly as it takes time to go through the approval process unfortunately. It would also mean starting next season on minus nine points. Critically it gives the club breathing space to try and sort themselves out.}

25 May 2024 14:53:07
Hi Eds, hope you are enjoying the off season.

Wanted to ask: is this Textor a likely knight in shining armour or just another one of the bad bunch ready to bankrupt us?

{Ed025's Note - i dont think he is even a factor at this time BR mate..

25 May 2024 09:56:17
Leaked images of the alleged new Jersey online.

25 May 2024 18:17:38
I thought it was Castore doing next years kit?

25 May 2024 18:59:05
I heard teemu was doing it lol 😆.

25 May 2024 20:55:56
Best sign Pukki then hey Ron.

25 May 2024 09:35:36
Not sure if anyone else has heard but lots of people getting in touch saying Dom to Newcastle for £25 million. On his day he can be really good, but need more of them days if he does stay.

24 May 2024 18:05:39
Dcl is to join Newcastle for £25 million on £125k per week, deal to be announced on 1st June, any truth?

{Ed025's Note - just speculation at the moment OD..

24 May 2024 19:11:05
Wouldn't surprise me if he went. Personally I think he'd be a massive loss and we'd really struggle to find a player that fits the system the way he does.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Chris..

24 May 2024 19:02:11
Not sure how I feel about that, seems low knowing what he is capable of and how valuable he is to our set up and limited striker options, but then if he breaks down again could be another 6months out.

Know he is 32 but with or without Dom leaving I'd like us to go in for Callum Wilson, apparently wants out, experience head and knows where the net is, still got a season or 2 left him in in top flight til hopefully our finances get sorted, ideally try if Dom does go for a season loan.

24 May 2024 19:15:26
we would want more than £25M.

24 May 2024 20:02:08
Is DCL going to replace isak because they want £200 Million for him apparently?

24 May 2024 20:09:21
He didn’t play much last season but I wouldn’t want to see him go.

24 May 2024 21:05:04
Any chance of Callum Wilson in return. Wishful thinking I know.

24 May 2024 21:16:22
Problem is he’s in last year of his contract so very little chance we’ll get a massive fee for him and £25m is probably a decent price based on this.

Would rather us keep him as he can score goals and we’ve stuck with him through all his injuries and would hate to see him banging in goals for another team in the premier league.

Hopefully he signs a new contract and then if decides to leave we can ask for a bigger price - however got a feeling he’ll ask to leave as can’t be fun playing for us at the moment and he’s also had some considerable stick from some of the fan base.

24 May 2024 22:18:20
How can we lose him for this after paying £30m for Beto! Typical Everton Beto might be as bad as tosun and straq and yet we are going to lose the only decent striker we have had in years for next to nothing. It never rains it pours with Everton!

{Ed025's Note - nail on the head there Chris mate..

24 May 2024 22:50:46
I'm surprised that the rumour fee is as high. What is it 52 goals in 6 years? Last year of contract and scored something like 10 in last 2 seasons? If all true I think he'd be desperate to get into a club like Newcastle and the fee seems pretty good to me. I'd bite their hand off.

25 May 2024 00:10:34
FBS on the money again.

Not sure what this "system" is, he is perfect for either if I am honest.

25 May 2024 00:16:10
Yes I would bite their hand off, I just can't see what you all see in him, he is finished.

25 May 2024 07:11:43
I'm a big fan of DCL but his record is t that great, he's living off one season, 25 million take it, he may get injured and be out most of the season you just never no with him.

25 May 2024 08:32:59
I'd rather loose dcl than Braithwaite so let him go didn't work out to well for big dunk did it couldn't wait to get back to the famous efc.

25 May 2024 10:27:12
Also how many goals did he score compared to beto and people are skating him in his first season, he may look like a big lump but he sat on the bench most of the time, beto could still be the man to lead the line and we also have the young lad can't spell his name, he's had a year now and so knows what to expect, I have high Hope's for him, we need fire power from other areas not just the strikers.

25 May 2024 12:38:31
I agree with dan and fbs posts as dan mentioned he is in his last year of his contract so dcl is going to look for 1 last pay rise i would be gutted if he went but you can't blame anyone for wanting to leave in our current situation and as fc pointed out aswell its going to be difficult to find a replacement to fit our system i'm just hoping dyche an thelwell can get our recruitment right cause with leicester back in prem and Leeds or Southampton we need many points as possible next season to stay in league.

23 May 2024 20:51:07
Matheus Saldanha, Partizan Belgrade.

Niasse YouTube highlights all over again hahah!

24 May 2024 17:21:14
One word Tosun.

23 May 2024 13:18:26
Afternoon Eds,

Hope you are well.

With Dom and Jared having only cost us around 2.5 million, I imagine with both bringing in pure profit, both will be sold to balance the books for this year.

Say we get approx 60m for Jared and 20m for DCL, that would then all but cover our losses for the year. Would that then allow us to invest any money brought in after that e. g. Onana sale, into the squad or would most of it then go into paying back some of the debts off to R&M and MSP?


Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - The losses have not been declared so we don't know what they will be. Selling players is the solution and there will certainly be interest in Branthwaite, Onana and Calvert-Lewin. Everton can invest anything beyond that but much will depend what happens about a sale - or MSP taking the stadium or half of the club to get control. The debts owed to MSP, 777 Partners etc. are huge - and don't forget a £450M loan from Moshiri.}

23 May 2024 16:06:08
Appreciate the info Ed.

It very much looks to be a buyers window this summer, which puts us right at the back of the queue!

23 May 2024 16:06:08
Appreciate the info Ed.

It very much looks to be a buyers window this summer, which puts us right at the back of the queue!

{Ed002's Note - Evertron have been looking at options from the Championship but I would not expect significant spending as it stands right now.}

23 May 2024 19:06:01
Hopefully Thelwall has been doing his homework and plenty of scouting trips only time will tell i guess but there are decent player's about it's just what the parent clubs are wanting for them as it won't be hard to price us out of a deal.

23 May 2024 19:09:35
I am not as familiar with the Championship as I once was, so I only know a few names that I would want us to go after.

I know sometimes you don't wish to get involved with the granular details Ed but do you know who some of those options might be.

There is plenty of talent in the league though. I made calls on here last summer for us to go after young Wharton after being made aware of him by a Rovers fan and watching him myself. I was gutted when Palace nabbed him and I am not one bit surprised he has started his PL career the way he has. He would have been perfect for us.

{Ed002's Note - Could you ask again on Sunday or Monday please BN. I am travelling right now but I have names of a few players the club has been looking at.}

23 May 2024 22:41:24
Will try and remember Ed. Much appreciated and safe travels!

{Ed002's Note - Thx.}

24 May 2024 06:53:04
Yep felt exact same about Wharton too BlueNose. Been a excellent buy for us.

24 May 2024 19:14:38
I've read Carlisle have a 50% sell on clause for branthwaitte. If that's true it will be absolutely massive for them. It will also really put a dent in our income and money to right off against psr.

19 May 2024 14:25:10
Afternoon Eds. What are the chances of us resigning Richarlison (even if only on loan) ?

{Ed002's Note - There is no chance.}

19 May 2024 15:04:50
Been down that road with Rodrigues.

19 May 2024 20:24:07
We can't pay his wages GB.

19 May 2024 22:05:58
I think a more realistic question is what are the chance of us signing anyone?

20 May 2024 09:29:40
Ok ok so the silly season doesn't go too far too quickly and annoy out of people with more than 2 brain cells. let's ditch these hypothetical nonsense questions about the calibre and prices of players like Rikky and Greenwood and maybe start talking about the cheap realistic work men like players from places like Norwich Ipswich Burnley Southampton Luton etc and stop wasting yours and everyone elses time with this sillyness? It's going to be a long summer as it is.

20 May 2024 09:56:50
Spot on FBS. 👍💯🤦.

20 May 2024 10:14:15
Said all alongFBS we would be looking in the lower divisions this season stands to reason cash is tight.

20 May 2024 11:31:55
If you look you will find. Vardh wasn't too bad a player. Non league to Fleetwood to Leicester and England. Ian Wright was late getting into league football too. There's gems in lower league. Just got to find them. Wasn't Joe Parkinson 300k from Bournemouth who where division 4?

20 May 2024 12:21:10
Seamus comes to mind mate.

20 May 2024 12:55:40
Agreed. We’ve signed the likes of Branthwaite and Stones from the lowers leagues. So there are gems out there.

We’ve not really had much success through our youth ranks over the last few years bar maybe Gordon. So starting from the bottom upwards would also help.

20 May 2024 13:08:13
Totally agree fbs think we do need to start scouting in lower divisions in my opinion mate question is will thelwell and dyche go down that route think he needs to tbh but time will tell.

20 May 2024 14:01:51
What other route is there mate? He ain't got the kids to play so it's going to be a load of left fields and a few oldies on short contracts who get the job done. I expect to be busy as it has to be. We need 5 or 6. Sales first and then v v late window purchases. Loans right at the death when everyone else has done business and some all of a sudden need a club.

20 May 2024 21:19:52
That makes sense FBS.

Only mentioned Richy as read somewhere that Spurs were in the market for a couple of strikers and wondered if Richy would become surplus to requirements…

Think Onana and Branthwaite will go to raise £120m (or as close to that as we can get) and most of that will go towards preventing more points deductions. Let’s hope they can find 5-6 Colemans as we will be scuppered otherwise!

19 May 2024 13:46:23
Rumours that Dyche may walk away from the club in the summer because of the ongoing incertainty surrounding club ownership!

{Ed025's Note - he probably knows a lot more than us Elvis, and that is why we should be "all shook up" mate.. :)

19 May 2024 14:16:38
Suspicious mind you have Ed mate, just clickbait, Sean has just said it meant so much to him and the pride he felt in keeping us up, he's here for the long term.

{Ed025's Note - love it GB..

19 May 2024 14:40:52
A little less conversation, a little more action! . tired of all these suspicious minds, it's now or never, am all shook up ed!

{Ed025's Note - great stuff Mocker.

19 May 2024 15:02:39
Hey I like that haha Mocker mate.

19 May 2024 15:03:26
Blue Christmas in the Ghetto soon lol.

19 May 2024 16:27:48
Hope Sean ditches the tracksuit and goes for a nice suite and some smart "blue suede shoes " ;-)

19 May 2024 18:30:31
. Thank You, Thank You Very Much Witty😉👍💙.

19 May 2024 18:48:08
Some good stuff eh.

19 May 2024 20:24:47
Return to Burnley.

19 May 2024 11:43:50
Being reported we would let DCL go for £60 million, yeah right bargain then hmmmmm.

19 May 2024 20:30:16
No one will pay us that for him.
