Everton woo investors as £700m+ Goodison Park cloud emerges
Everton are “wooing” potential investors in a bid to boost the Goodison Park coffers as Farhad Moshiri seeks a financial boost, according to the Daily Mirror.
According to The Mirror print edition (pg 70) on 5 May, there are ongoing talks between the Toffees and MSP Sports Capital and 777 Partners regarding potential investment in the Bramley-Moore Dock venture. The project is currently under construction, with a total cost of £760 million.
It was rumoured that MSP chiefs were present at Goodison Park during the Blues’ defeat against Southampton in January. They are currently seeking representation in the boardroom if they choose to invest.
Something has to give
There’s a need for change at Goodison Park. Many fans are expressing fatigue with the Moshiri regime. The impact of relegation is a well-known concern that cannot be ignored. Championship football will have a substantial effect on the club’s finances and prospective investments.
It is imperative that Sean Dyche and his team maintain their concentration on the task at hand. Their next obstacle involves a trip to Brighton and Hove Albion, which will undoubtedly pose another formidable challenge. The Seagulls are coming off of an impressive victory over Manchester United, which keeps their hopes of Champions League football alive.
There’s a lot on the line for both sides on Monday evening (8 May). With Manchester City and Newcastle to come, points on the board are needed as soon as possible for Dyche’s side.
The display against Leicester was a big plus point. Everton took the game to their hosts and can count themselves unlucky not to have come away with three points.
