Their owner has put them up for sale with an asking price of over £500m.

They join Liverpool and Man Utd who are up for sale aswell as Tottenham whose owners are believed to be interested in selling but not actively looking to do so

[Crimson Dynamo]

Im no businessman but is there not a good window to sell?

[The Slim Reaper]

If I was oil money, I'd be interested. Why spend $4b on Liverpool, or $5b on united, when you can buy everton for $500m and invest $2b in a new stadium and players. FSG fcuking around will destroy the club.

I didn’t know United was for sale

I heard United was valued at around £2 billion but the owners are asking nearer to £8 billion…

Because Everton are so **** nobody big will want to come join them..unless ronaldo gets bored in Saudi.

A new stadium is also a massive turn off for the fans. Very bad idea. Typical oligarchs thoughts though. Perhaps being rich and powerful is your calling slim?

[Mystic Mock]

BSHL can buy them.

Not really, there is a lot of uncertainty to owning Everton and their finances are in a really bad state unlike Newcastle who actually had good finances.

New owners wouldn't be able to invest in the squad due to FFP which Everton are believed to have broken

New owners would pledge loads of new cash, so that would satisfy FFP rules. The level of uncertainty is much smaller at everton than at Liverpool or Man U. A good new manager together with a sensible transfer strategy and Everton would climb the table, guaranteed.

City have the highest sponsorship deals in world football, and they don't even sell out their stadium every week, so it's a myth that these mega wealthy owners can't find ways to launder money into the club and just do whatever they want.

City and Newcastle were varying degrees of sh1t when they were bought out, and Everton are desperate for a new stadium, and even the fans know that. Woodison is just a pile of timber.

You need to add the fact that Man U and Liverpool are once in a generation purchase, not often do clubs with rich histories come onto the market and they come with I start returns on money

City wasn't the plan though, their owners tried multiple times to buy Liverpool but they wouldn't sell

that's irrelevant now though. Football is not the same as it was 5 years ago let alone 10-20 years ago when Man U and Liverpool were last available

FSG have had the club open for sale/investment for years. These mega wealthy owners have amounts of money that they could afford to make an offer that would get the purchase done immediately. Same with united - a 10b offer would have forced glazers to accept instantly, and yet they haven't been that desperate to own the 2 English Marquee clubs. Liverpool were available in 2010 at a knockdown price - again, FSG were the only group to make any offer.

Actually FSG did recieve a bid 2 years back and they rejected it but now their minds have changed

To repeat - these oil owners don't have any issues with money - if they were desperate to own either Liverpool or United, they would own them by now. Not saying they won't end up buying them, but Everton is closer to the kind of clubs they have bought in the past.

[bots]

everton is a much more malleable proposition than either Man U or Liverpool, and thats what its actually all about

[Niamh.]

At this rate it would be better if Oil people bought all the teams, might even up the competition a bit

End game will invariably be 4-6 teams owned by oil and the rest of the league watching from the sidelines.

Yeah, that's pretty sad

It's not really with the onfeild and off field issues

Everton are likely going down and I'm not sure someone really wants to buy a championship club otherwise they would have massively invested before, if anything Everton are likely to get American owners. Newcastle and Man City were very easy to acquire with no major debts and in positions to heavily invest.

Everton also comes with a new stadium still nit paid fir and one the fans don't even want so it's gonna be a hard job for anyone and won't be a smooth transition
