Everton Takeover Saga: Alan Myers Confirms Increased Interest After John Textor Update
Everton fans are eagerly awaiting a resolution to the club’s takeover saga, and Sky Sports reporter Alan Myers has provided a promising update. With Farhad Moshiri willing to sell at a significant loss, Myers believes multiple parties will express interest in acquiring the Toffees once the exclusivity clause with 777 Partners expires on Friday.
Myers’ comments follow John Textor’s surprise announcement of his intention to purchase Everton, despite being the co-owner of Crystal Palace. Textor’s interest in the club has been growing, and Myers claims the American is “stepping up” his efforts to secure a deal.
Textor’s background in business and sports makes him an attractive potential owner. With an estimated net worth of £3.37 billion, he has successfully invested in various ventures, including Sims Snowboards, FuboTV, and eToys. His foray into football began in 2021 with Crystal Palace, followed by investments in Brazil’s Botafogo and France’s Olympique Lyon.
Everton fans are hopeful that a new owner will bring stability and sensible decision-making to the club. With the current takeover saga dragging on for nine months, the Toffees are in dire need of a resolution. Myers’ confirmation of increased interest from multiple parties is a welcome development, and fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates in the coming days.
As the situation unfolds, it’s clear that John Textor is a serious contender to take over Everton. His multi-club football model, which includes Crystal Palace and Olympique Lyon, could potentially benefit the Toffees. However, only time will tell if Textor’s interest will materialize into a successful takeover.
In the meantime, Everton fans can take comfort in knowing that the club’s future is being closely monitored by interested parties. With a little luck and sensible decision-making, the Toffees can finally achieve the stability they so desperately need.
