Alan Myers, a reputable Sky Sports journalist, has recently shed light on the impending decision that Everton could soon receive regarding the potential takeover bid by 777 Partners. In a tweet on his personal Twitter account on 13 March, Myers disclosed that the Premier League is on the verge of reaching a verdict, with a decision expected in the upcoming days.
Responding to a query from a curious fan about his thoughts on the likelihood of 777 Partners being approved as the club’s new owners, Myers shared his optimism, stating, “My guess would be they do.” He emphasized the urgent need to bring an end to the lingering uncertainty surrounding Everton’s ownership and urged for a fresh direction to be established regardless of the ultimate outcome.
The agreement between Everton and 777 Partners for the Miami-based investment firm to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s stake in the club was officially confirmed way back in September. However, despite this confirmation, the Premier League has yet to sanction the deal, which has led to the club facing financial difficulties and relying on loans for operational costs.
The anticipated decision was initially expected to be announced before the end of the previous year, with subsequent hopes pinned on a resolution in February. Nonetheless, the wait continues, leaving everyone involved in a state of anxious anticipation. The prolonged delay in approval raises concerns about 777 Partners’ ability to sustain funding for Everton if the transaction is not permitted to proceed smoothly.
Josh Wander, a key figure linked to the consortium, has already expressed frustration publicly about the ongoing delays. With an international break currently underway and no games scheduled until the final weekend of the month, it presents an opportune moment for Everton to seek clarity on the ownership situation and forge ahead towards a resolution with a clear and decisive course of action in mind.
