Everton: Potential Kaminski takeover still needs due diligence on losses and liabilities
More due diligence on liabilities and losses at Everton is still needed before any potential takeover can happen, according to Ben Jacobs.
News broke in the past 48 hours from the Financial Times that Maciek Kaminski was in advanced talks with Farhad Moshiri over a £400million takeover of the club.
That appears to have been premature, although positive talks have been held with many more angles needing to be covered before it goes through.
Writing on his personal Twitter account, Jacobs shared what he has heard about the potential takeover after digging into the potential twist at Goodison Park.
“Sources familiar with discussions say there is more due diligence required, including on liabilities and losses,” he wrote.
“But there has certainly been positive talks this month, which is progress compared to over the summer when Farhad Moshiri felt a deal was dead.”
Here we go again.
Only months after the last whirlwind of a potential takeover, it looks as though it is set to begin all over again.
Kaminski, now part of KAM Sports without Peter Kenyon and John Thornton, has kept talks going after his group entered that period of exclusivity in the summer without success.
Moshiri has made it very clear he wants outside investment, so could the possibility of welcoming Kaminski on board first in that manner appeal? It could be possible.
It looked as though the US businessman wants full control, though, and that will make this a very long process with another American looking at Premier League investment.
Jacobs shared in another update that things are complicated with American investors looking to take advantage of the pound and how weak it is.
Significant dialogue is still needed and looks to be planned moving forward, so expect this to be an everchanging situation over the coming days and weeks with nothing imminent.
