13 investors are involved in the MSP Everton Investors group after documents emerged from America in the past 48 hours, according to The Esk.

The reliable source has shared the news that $165million (£130million) had been raised by the group on behalf of MSP Sports Capital.

Farhad Moshiri is finally set to get the investment he has been searching for at Goodison Park, with Bramley-Moore Dock one of the biggest priorities.

Writing on their personal Twitter account, the Esk shared more information: “Breaking news: MSP have raised $165million for MSP Everton investors.

“13 investors in the partnership.”

Change.

Your guess is as good as ours when it comes to where this actually leaves the state of the Everton boardroom, with even more people coming into the fold.

MSP Sports Capital will, of course, want seats on the board with this hefty investment, and the door is open for that after the exits of Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Grant Ingles and Graeme Sharp.

Having said that, there aren’t 13 seats and priority will likely need to be handed out to the likes of Jahm Najafi, who is one of the big names behind the group.

Of course, he will be the voice of more than just himself with change needed at the very top as Moshiri prepares to gradually hand over majority control with this just the first move.

Everton have been in a disastrous state for quite some time now with on-pitch turmoil and financial damage, and hopefully, this is the first step towards change.

It certainly is needed.
