The signs have not been good since the very first moment that 777 Partners agreed to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% stake at Everton.

Doubts emerged almost immediately with the main question still being how the American consortium would actually fund the takeover.

Regulators are still looking at the deal with many hurdles to go until it is fully confirmed, with there still being the possibility that it falls through altogether.

Former Daily Star journalist Paul Brown has recently reported that numerous parties are still looking at the possibility of taking over Everton should 777 see their move collapse.

More interestingly, it was further shared that the other parties expect just that to happen, and will be waiting in the wing to make their own play.

Brown shared a further update to GIVE ME SPORT on October 30, insisting that it should be “very alarming” to fans that 777 will need to loan money to get the deal over the line.

This is certainly something to watch in the coming weeks and months, especially with the Premier League hearing and the potential for a points deduction.

Farhad Moshiri is ready to get out, that has been made very obvious and at least it is good news that there will be other parties ready to go should 777 fail to get their move over the line.

What is worrying is that other parties are expecting this to fall through already, meaning they must have seen something which can affect the bid massively.

The only negative would be starting the entire process again, but given all of this information, it looks as though this takeover could collapse at any minute, it won’t take much.

In other Everton news, the Premier League have been slammed over their “desire to crush Everton” when other clubs should have already been relegated
