Everton face “only one” outcome if they continue to push forward with a takeover under 777 Partners and that is administration, according to The Esk.
The Miami-based investment firm has agreed on a deal to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s controlling stake in the Toffees, but are still waiting for approval from the Premier League eight months after the original agreement.
777 are also now facing new legal issues after legal litigation was filed against them after they were accused of a fraudulent scheme. Financial expert, The Esk believes unless an alternative bidder can be found, the Toffees will face administration.
Writing on his website on Sunday (5 May) he said: “The reality of continuing down this path is administration – 777’s failure to complete (which should have been recognised eight months ago) and the inability to continue funding losses and capital expenditure has only one outcome unless a solution is permitted to enter.
“The audited accounts pointed in the gravest manner as to the risks ahead for Everton, and that was on the basis of a successful takeover by a solvent, funded and credible acquirer, assumed to be completed in “early 2024”. That is clearly not the case, nor ever will be if 777 Partners remain in the frame.”
Will 777 Partners complete their takeover of Everton at Goodison Park?
Ever since this deal with 777 Partners emerged back in 2023, it has brought with it bad news and it seems abundantly clear now that the Miami-based firm are not fit and proper owners.
New issues keep rising around the company whether that be sporting or financial problems and while Farhad Moshiri remains committed to completing a deal with 777, there is little to suggest that is what is right for the Toffees.
Administration may not be an immediate issue and there is every chance a solution could be found before the start of next season, but with Moshiri exclusively talking to 777 it’s unlikely anything will change quickly.
