Red letter day at 777 Partners HQ as Everton takeover email sent to staff
Red letter day has been and gone at 777 Partners HQ in Miami as David Dein visited with regards to their proposed takeover of Everton, according to Josimar Football.
Philippe Auclair and Paul Brown have reported that Dein’s presence, the former vice-chairman of the FA, will be a precious asset for the group and their takeover push.
It is shared that an email was sent to every member of staff at HQ on Monday 16 October regarding his visit, and it read: “His support of 777 will be instrumental for Premier League approval for our Everton deal.”
Things have developed closer to home since that visit, with Dein present alongside Farhad Moshiri and Josh Wander for Everton’s win over Burnley in the Carabao Cup.
The Times has since reported that Wander and Steve Pesko have been given the green light by the FA to become club directors if the takeover goes ahead.
Positive signs?
It looks as though things are finally starting to move in the right direction.
Takeovers are complex and this was always going to take a long period of time, but the business end appears to be emerging with different developments every other day.
The news that Wander has been given the director’s green light by the FA is a huge step, and it may have something to do with the presence of Dein, a highly influential figure within the game.
Partner that with the fact he has since been spotted taking in the action at Goodison Park with all smiles, you start to wonder if things are getting close.
Wander is playing the smart game while all of these different pieces of news continue to emerge within the media, he is just getting on with his business.
Time will tell, but it looks as though this meeting back in Miami may have paid off, or is certainly starting to.
