    – This would mean Textor can inject serious equity into the club and buy down debt, which is great news.

    – This would likely delay any official takeover until at least November however, given the fact that the IPO won’t happen until then.

    – “Textor is understood to have kicked off talks with prospective investors in Everton as part of his efforts to strengthen the club’s balance sheet.”

    – “He is said to have received interest from investors about injecting more than £150m into the club, according to banking sources.”

    Oh good, another prospective owner who doesn’t have money and needs others to pay for him.

    I think the IPO is a play to get someone to buy his shares. Puts pressure on them to buy before IPO.

    I’m not sure I trust the acumen of any businessman that wants to buy Everton tbh

  5. This seems very complex and complicated.

    Maybe that’s good. Maybe it’s definitely not good. Idk.

    But with Everton I assume it’s all bad.

  6. So is he just putting his fingers in his ears and going lalalala over the 777 issues with the debt, or is he just going to pay off other debt first?
