Investigation launched as 777 Partners-Everton takeover may come under threat
The 777 Partners’ deal to buy Everton may come under threat as an investigation has now been launched about their recent investment, according to the Telegraph.
The English newspaper reported on Saturday (16 September) on its website that their investment in British basketball has raised some concerns.
The probe relates to late payments made by 777 to the BBL this year that left the latter in danger of failing to pay its bills and the outcome could have major ramifications on the takeover.
Chaos
777 Partners’ history is not ideal and there does need to be careful scrutiny done into their dealings in various sports.
One thing is clear, they do have the money to invest in the club, but whether or not they’re above the book and the ideal owners, remains to be seen.
This fresh probe casts yet another doubt and the Premier League’s owners and directors’ eligibility test will certainly take all these factors into consideration.
Right now, all fans can do is wait and see and hope that whoever succeeds Farhad Moshiri is not as bad or worse than him.
He has failed to live up to the promises made and instead of being the best of the rest or among the top clubs in England, they’ve become relegation candidates each season.
Even currently, they sit in the bottom three and are still to pick up a win in the 2023/24 season.
