Full Everton takeover now on cards after latest news at Goodison Park
A raft of change is expected at Everton in the near future, and fresh developments suggest that a full takeover could now be on the cards at Goodison Park.
Farhad Moshiri’s attempts to find fresh investors for the club have been well documented this year, and BBC Sport (4 May) has now reported that “anything could be on the table” regarding a full takeover of the Merseyside club.
The report said that conversations had been held with both MSP Sports Captial and 777 Partners about financing the club’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, with further talks expected in the near future.
However, if the two parties were to involve themselves in a bidding war for the full takeover of Everton, Moshiri could well get the price he has been craving, and more.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News in October 2022, football finance expert Dan Plumley insisted that a bidding war could see Everton drive up any takeover cost up to at least £300million.
Plumley also admitted that the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium would play a big role and factor into the total price that the club was sold for.
These developments suggest that Everton’s fanbase could yet have their greatest wishes fulfilled after calling for Moshiri to step down from the club all season long.
Since arriving in 2016, the Iranian-born businessman has caused a massive rift within the club, with protests a common sight outside Goodison Park this campaign.
The £300million valuation of Everton would obviously hinge on the club maintaining its Premier League status this season, but if Sean Dyche can wave his magic wand over his squad in the last four games of the season, a concrete takeover is certainly on the cards.
Considering MSP Sports Capital and 777 Partners have both registered recent interest in the Merseyside club, and taking into account the plethora of issues Moshiri is facing, the 67-year-old may well be tempted to finally call it quits.`
