Finance Expert reacts as 777 Partners cash reports emerge before Everton takeover twist
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 the figures have been released regarding the proposed 777 Partners takeover of Everton, no one will know how it has played out.
The Daily Mail reported on 12 September that the Americans had yet to raise the funds for a takeover, but have since signed an agreement with Farhad Moshiri in the days following that.
Plumley predicted that either means that Moshiri has got the £500million he was demanding, or he has had to lower his price to get out of Goodison Park.
“That’s it, we don’t know the value,” he exclusively told Goodison News.
“There’s been a valuation put on the club, Moshiri saying £500m is okay, but other valuation models will have various different valuations in that mix.
“Some people have got them slightly lower, so we don’t know what the number is, but if an agreement has been signed, it’s one of two things: Moshiri has got the price he wants, or he has come down on the price and the deal has been done.
“Until we see that figure, we’re not sure what that is and how it has played out.”
