According to The Esk, there is no collaboration between potential Everton buyers 777 Partners and MSP Sports Capital to finalize a takeover at Goodison Park.
777 Partners have reached an agreement to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s controlling share in the club, but are awaiting Premier League approval and have asked for an extension beyond the original deadline of Monday, April 15th.
To gain approval, the American group has agreed to repay most of a £158 million loan to MSP Sports Capital. However, discussions are ongoing to postpone this repayment, as MSP could potentially become the majority shareholder if an agreement is not reached.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the takeover, The Esk insists that there is no secret plan between 777 Partners and MSP Sports Capital. The situation at Everton is troubling, as it is unclear if 777 Partners will be able to complete the deal and support the club financially in the future.
It remains to be seen if MSP Sports Capital will pursue the controlling stake at Goodison Park, but they are likely hesitant to extend more time for 777 to secure funds for the loan repayment.
While 777 Partners remain optimistic about completing the deal, it is difficult for fans to see a positive outcome for Everton in this scenario. Hopefully, more information will come to light as discussions progress, but for now, supporters can take solace in the fact that there is no grand conspiracy to aid 777’s takeover of the club.
