    The question is simple how much money does BK and board want for Everton f.c, i would then want to know how much BK or whoevever backed him bought the club for in the first place.
    Surely a man who loves the club as much as BK would only be looking to recoup his investment in the best interests of the club.? Or is it that a grossly inflated return is required on that investment from those who have no interest in club whatsoever.
    If i was a potential investor with the interest of Everton fc at the forefront, i would be looking to buy the club as cheap as possible and clear the debt. I would want most of my investment to benefit the club buying of players, new stadium etc.I would not be interested in paying an inflated price and handing over money which would obviously leave the club.

    The price of the club will be a lot more than Bill paid for because the squad is worth 5 times more.

    People invest to make money so you can't blame anyone for that.

    That is a valid point and of course most sensible investors would want a return, i would still like to comment on the size of that return. I as a supporter would like to see some financial transparency, i would then have a view if say for instance if squad value has influenced this. I may also have a view that a declining stadium is a major drawback to the value of the deal. Something, anything, lack of information naturally leads to mistrust and speculation..........

    I can't see us getting a new owner in the next 3 years. We're a bad investment. Whoever buys us needs to buy a new stadium and because of that it would put off so many buyers. Also Financial records released show that we aren't making a profit although we will this year due to the recent transfer window. To sum up it seems like we're going nowhere slowly. 

    If and this is a MASSIVE "if" we get european football especially Champions League we will generate a lot more income.

    if you owned your own house would you leave it for years and years to run down, and then expect somebody to buy it, just dont make sense considering there business men, why let your investment go down the plug hole, the longer there in charge the less likelyhood of us getting a buyer, surely there investment becomes less and less attractive as the years go by, why will anyone buy us, when the current owners/shareholders wont invest in there own business(and there is money on the board) doesnt make for good viewing by potential buyers, im pretty sure theres some creaming off the top and can see our debt being pretty much the same in a years time

    Well the debt has been significantly lowered after the previous transfer window but I'm sure it was only lowered so we are in a position to spend again.

    We probably would of had new owners by now if we would of moved to Kirkby or the Kings Dock.
