As speculation swirls regarding the potential collapse of the proposed takeover of Everton Football Club by 777 Partners, journalists and insiders offer insights into the current state of affairs.
Despite rumors circulating about the breakdown of the deal, prominent figures within Everton’s media circle, including Alan Myers and The Esk, have expressed skepticism regarding the accuracy of such claims. Responding to inquiries via Twitter, both Myers and The Esk indicated that while they had heard of the rumors, they had not received any confirmation to suggest that the deal had indeed fallen through.
The saga began when the Miami-based investment firm, 777 Partners, reached an agreement to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s majority shareholding in Everton back in mid-September. However, the anticipated Premier League approval for the takeover has been delayed significantly, stretching beyond the usual timeframe. Myers anticipates that a verdict from the Premier League could be imminent, bringing clarity to the situation.
While indications from the club suggest that the takeover bid remains on course, the prolonged delay in the Premier League’s decision raises questions about the potential ramifications for Everton and 777 Partners alike. As the Miami-based firm has been providing financial support to the club during this waiting period, a rejection by the Premier League could result in significant short-term challenges for Everton.
Furthermore, concerns have been raised about 777 Partners’ mounting legal issues and the perceived vulnerabilities in their business model. Some observers fear that if the takeover bid is approved, it could spell trouble for Everton’s long-term stability, with suggestions that administration may become unavoidable.
The ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Everton takeover coincides with the club’s upcoming profit and sustainability hearing, scheduled for the following week. Speculation abounds regarding the potential outcomes of this hearing, with conflicting predictions regarding the possibility of a points deduction for Everton. While some anticipate that a second points deduction is inevitable, both Myers and The Esk hold hope that the club may avoid such a penalty altogether.
In light of these developments, it is evident that the next week or so will be pivotal for Everton Football Club, with significant implications for its future direction and stability.
