Everton takeover remains on the table as group looks at global bank financing option
A takeover of Everton remains on the cards as one group looks at finance options with a global bank in order to help fund the rest of their new Bramley Moore-Dock Stadium, as reported by the Liverpool Echo.
The Echo report (21 October) that the bank involved has a track record of helping investors get into sports through venue financing and acquisitions.
It’s understood that discussions have taken place around investment into the stadium build and a potential full takeover in the future.
The Echo couldn’t specify whether the group were one of the two known interested parties (LAMF Global Ventures and Maciek Kaminski) or a new bidder.
Not going away
The takeover talk surrounding Everton is not going away at the moment and does feel like only a matter of time before something significant does occur at boardroom level. The Toffees are one of the most attractive clubs to buy in the Premier League.
Outside the big six, Everton are one of the biggest and most historic clubs in the country and have a huge fan base not just in the UK, but around the world.
With the new stadium on the way, a better footballing structure at the club and some exciting young players, it’s understandable to see why there is so much interest in the Toffees. Most Evertonians would like to see Farhad Moshiri’s time at Goodison Park come to an end. He has made plenty of mistakes during his tenure at the club and a fresh approach is required.
Let’s hope all the talk turns into some actual concrete discussions in the coming weeks and months.
