Farhad Moshiri calls ‘urgent meeting’ amid another £8m Everton takeover twist
Everton owner Farhad Moshiri will meet with a key stakeholder group next week amid the latest developments in the protracted 777 Partners takeover saga.
The Miami-based investment fund’s bid to take over the club is now all but dead, with the Premier League refusing to ratify the deal amid doubts about their ability to fund the club.
However, Moshiri has given 777 Partners until the end of the month to prove that their financial situation is strong enough to take over the Toffees.
The group had already lent Everton around £200m as part of the acquisition process and Alan Myers has now reported via Twitter that another £8m payment has also been issued on top of that.
The debacle has not reflected well on Everton, 777 Partners or the Premier League. But one group has emerged with their reputation enhanced.
Moshiri to meet with Everton supporters
The excellent Everton Fan Advisory Board has issued a statement that outlined that they had requested an “urgent meeting” with Moshiri, which the British-Iranian billionaire would attend next week.
The FAB, an independent body with a direct line to the club board, said it wanted clarification on the 777 Partners talks, as well as on what will happen when the club is forced to explore alternative options.
