    I know RD doesn't do common sense.

    However, if he is willing to lose, let's call it £6M pa, then logic might suggest the sell on deals, plus whatever else he wants, is worth more than £6M to him ?

    Maybe that's his view?

    For example (all numbers made up), if Gomez was worth £30m last season, prior to the world cup, and presuming we have a 10% sell on fee (over and above the £3.5m that Liverpool paid), then that was worth around £3m to RD. But if he's now worth £50m, that shows a £2m increase in his book value to RD. If his apparent value increases next year by another £20m (and if van Dijk is worth that much, then why not!), then that is £2m each year on his value to RD. (He may or may not ever be sold, and values can of course go down as well as up!)

    But if we use the same formula for Lookman, that could be worth £1m-£2m a year, and maybe with Gudmundsson, Pope, etc added in then RD could easily say that his "assets" are increasing in value what he is losing at CAFC (c£6m per season).

    How he realises those assets, if ever, is another matter.
    Yes, I was thinking the same.

    This could run indefinitely, unless one or both parties budge and come to an agreement.

    So, a case of who blinks first ?

    Does anyone know if the Rat has a nervous tic ?
  • What happened to this paperwork that Aussie's had not submitted?

    Precisely.

    A few weeks back an EFL official was quoted as saying neither the proof of funds and the names of the backers had been lodged.

    Perhaps things have moved forward.

    Well a least it gives us a hint of chink of light at the end of the tunnel.

    It's so good to know that in two weeks this will all be over.
    Yep & all we need is a little patience (says GNR & Slade)

    In a fortnights time after the completion of the takeover and scarfy has been paraded at The Valley with the Aussies. How long do we give it until the moaning starts again?
  • "Where to Guv ?"

    "Blandford st, EFL headquarters in London and step on it driver."

    "As your the famous Heath Rarris, the well know football broker and go to man, have you any rumour nuggets to chew on while I drive."

    "That makes a change from talking about Brexit. Yes i'm in negotiations with CAFC,
    DLT is the guy I'm dealing with, on behalf of a Belgian Behemoth called Douchebag.
    Only met him a couple of times but he like Scrooge, but tighter.
    He's got yellow teeth and shoes that have 100K on the clock. I heard he went to a fancy dress party with his son and they just put stockings over their heads"

    "What you mean they went as bank robbers Guv ?"

    "No, they went as a pair of tights."

    "What's the time scale now on this deal"

    "Two weeks but don't tell a soul driver"

    My lips are sealed Guv, my lips are sealed.

  • Doesn’t take much to re ignite this thread!!!!! If we are still going to make the film of all the characters involved in this thread, please count me out - just reading the last couple of pages chewing over all this bollox has given me a dullness Induced headache. Surely it’s all just a load of Shute made up to sustain rd’s tenure - it got rid of Meire and robbo which was s plus biut I can see no end to rd’s nonsense ownership
  • Jesus wept, will you people never learn?
    WIOTOS.
  • Dr Harris is still a director at Everton so seems unlikely to be our new CEO but he is a well known and well connected broker.

    Not sure they’ve been particularly consistent these EFL officials.

    Thanks again Taxi lad for sharing.
    After the last week we needed some hope.
    Not there yet, but maybe, just maybe.
  • I can now reveal that everything posted on this thread has been 100% accurate and in line with my sources. Just one inaccuracy on pg 13. VB is definitely NOT good.

    ‘LdT is a nice guy but is RD’s man and is working on his behalf, hence the comment re the Aussies having some explaining to do when it’s all over is bollox. All down to RD and his stubbornness’.

    That should go down well at the Fans Forum!

    You have been told to back up your information with a link at least!

    {searches for a box of tissues in anticipation}
    A whole box?!! I'm impressed!

    What can I say? The royalties from Viz come in handy, just call me Buster G!
  • Anyone know if champagne has a best before date? My bottle has been in the fridge waiting a long time...? Maybe if I take it out it’ll happen...
  • I am sure I read Toffees turned down £30m for Lookman. Gomez must be £60m+, JBG and Pope £15m each plus minor players. 25% of £120m+ almost pays for RD's cock-ups.

    Dirty boy

  • If I were the Aussies, I'd agree to 14 chips and tell RD to $%&% off.
  • I guess Keith Harris would have been JW's contact. I'm please to hear what he said but amazed as he must under an NDA himself??

    Mistaken identity perhaps.
