My main fear is we will have a Glazers style bank mortgage situation against the club. Real concern.

I think Randy is too much of a nice guy to sell to someone like that.

Who wouldn't like the type of players and success enjoyed by Man City over the last few years? You'd be barmy not to want that.

I would find it a lot easier to support Lowton, Baker, Clark, KEA, Albrighton, Bennett etc in a Villa shirt than the cream of Europe players brought in on a mega billionaires money

I realise I'm out on my own here, but that's the way I feel
Like I say I don't want to be Chelsea or City I don't envy their hollow successes one bit

I wonder if Everton fans have enjoyed their season more than those of Man City/Chelsea.

Those living in a dreamworld where we're taken over by a billionaire, what makes you think we'd be able to buy players to compete and beat the other teams with billionaires?

If it's a billionaire then I'm not going to cry about it but what I'm really hoping for is just someone who has better judgement in footballing matters than Lerner.

Everton have been successful this season. Manchester City haven't and neither have Chelsea unless they win the Champions League.

Not enough, need more billions, next.

[Malandro]

yep 4, just 4 billion. I was dreaming more of a gazillion. How can we compete with four poxy billion - bet its dollars as well. Fuckers.

[Malandro]

why oh why do they always have to have joke names too

[aj2k77]

Randy's mates are skint. If we had a decent chairman I bet he'd have richer friends.

Well if true at least they are sports team owners and also looking at Texas Rangers, they've been on a upward curve since they took over.

[PaulWinch again]

Also John Henry isn't insanely wealthy individually.

[John Mitchell]

Simpson sold his oil company for $41 billion in 2009......

[manic-road]

As long as Randy sells to someone who gives a shit then I'm happy.

[Billy Walker]

Also John Henry isn't insanely wealthy individually.

He fronts a wealthy group of investors though.
