Come to think of it maybe it was Orville I was listening to.

If he sang 'I wish I could fly right up to the sky but I can't' then it was.

If Mother Theresa witnessed it that would be her hat trick.

Orville. Randy will be googling now thinking it could be his next manager.

[The Laughing Policeman]

To be honest I don't think even a green duck could get us out of our predicament, but at least the pre and post match interviews would be entertaining.

His interest will be peaked when he learns Orville prefers to work with the kids.

Well they would be if the bloke who had his hand up his arse was still alive.

Maybe we can sell the Orville costume to Nzogbia.

Who do you think designed Orville's look to start with?

It shows how eye wateringly bad the football has been, that we've only just started to notice how bad Charlie's dress sense us after 5 years.

woah woah woah..

Everton going to a US buyer for £200m? That makes me quiver at what a Championship Villa is worth.

[OzVilla]

If Everton manage to get a US buyer for 200 mil that would be massively galling for Lerner.

Can't blame them though, Everton are a safe premiership club with some tradition and has genuine potential. Just like we used to be.

 

[ROBBO]

Another example of Lerner's business sense, if you are looking to sell you don't run down the asset.

[Villa in Denmark]

Well having read the report in The Telegraph my initial thoughts are.

1. Everton will initially be a money pit to anyone coming in. Over and above any squad development, they've still got to find £4-500M for a new ground to allow for better commercial income and bring the ground into the 21st century.

2. The senior partner in that takeover partnership is "only" worth $750M. If his partner is worth the same, they've got to be looking at financing at least part of the takeover unless they're not going to go for the new stadium option, which will keep them locked into their current cycle plus whatever top up money that they care to put in.

3. More likely to be a partial buy in that values Everton at £200M.

Bank Of America doing a great job for old Randy pants.

Thought EFC was being bought by Chang not Americans.
