John Textor, the co-owner of Crystal Palace, has expressed his interest in purchasing Everton from Farhad Moshiri, but has slammed those who would seek to take advantage of the club’s potential administration as “rotten souls”. Textor believes that if Everton were to enter administration, there would be many interested parties waiting to pounce, but he does not want to be part of a situation where people are taken advantage of.
Textor has stated that he wants to own a club that can match his aspirations, and believes that Everton has the potential to do so. However, he also acknowledges that a deal is unlikely in the short term due to 777 Partners’ exclusivity period and his own need to ratify the sale of his shares in Palace.
Despite this, Textor’s comments suggest that he is serious about his interest in Everton and is willing to wait for the right opportunity to purchase the club. He has called on Moshiri to hold off on any potential deal with 777 Partners and sell the club to him when the time is right.
Textor’s comments have been met with positivity from Everton fans, who see him as a viable and preferable alternative to 777 Partners. The situation remains uncertain, but Textor’s interest in the club has added a new dimension to the ongoing takeover saga.
