Everton fans breathed a sigh of relief as their team secured a vital win against Burnley, boosting their chances of avoiding relegation in the Premier League. Despite the on-field success, the club continues to face uncertainty off the pitch, with the potential takeover by 777 Partners still awaiting approval from the league.
Rumors are swirling that if 777’s bid falls through, two devoted Everton supporters, Andy Bell and George Downing, are prepared to step in and take control of the club. Despite not having a strong desire to own or financially support the team, their passion for Everton could provide the stability needed to secure the club’s future.
The Premier League’s hesitation in approving 777’s takeover may stem from concerns about the firm’s track record with other clubs, raising doubts about their ability to manage Everton effectively. In contrast, Bell and Downing’s genuine love for the club could offer a more promising future for Everton.
As discussions with 777 Partners continue, Farhad Moshiri should consider the potential benefits of negotiating a takeover with loyal fans like Bell and Downing. By prioritizing the club’s best interests, Moshiri could pave the way for a brighter future for Everton both financially and on the pitch.
