Every Everton takeover option still at play after terrible news – Finance Expert
We’re delighted to welcome football finance expert Dr Daniel Plumley as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Everton
Dan Plumley has insisted that until MSP Sports Capital have signed off on their Everton investment, every takeover option is still on the table.
It comes after The Athletic reported that the Toffees are still very much for sale with their finances “terrible” after years of mismanagement.
MSP Sports Capital are said to have a deal for a 25% stake in the club, but it has still not been confirmed, with people jostling for position until that happens.
“Until that deal is done, every option is still at play,” he exclusively told Goodison News.
“You can read reports and never understand what is going on inside the boardroom, you’ll never get the full picture.
“Until a deal is done, any option remains on the table and if you’re an investor coming in, and you think you’ve got a way to muscle your way into that situation, or your negotiating power is strengthened, there is no deal being signed yet.
“I genuinely think all options are still in play, not least because of this and the way it is phrased, how many times have we said this around all the confusion and chaos, everything remains up in the air.
“Words labelling the finances as terrible but the club is still very much up for sale, that sums up football club ownership in a nutshell, how can you have a terrible business in financial terms, but have loads of people interested in buying it? That is unique only in football.
“You need a deal to be done and until it is done, people will still jostle for position.”
