777 Partners yet to get FA approval in yet another new Everton takeover twist
777 Partners’ takeover of Everton is still yet to be given its approval by the FA, with contrasting reports not adding up as more confusion emerges, according to Bloomberg.
The sports business news outlet shared on 9 November that, while reports suggest that the likes of Josh Wander have been approved by the FA, a person with direct knowledge of the process has claimed that is not yet the case.
Another twist in the long tale of this purchase has raised further confusion about the ongoing process and whether or not the group will be allowed to complete their takeover of Everton.
Yet another cause for concern
If the simple suggestion that 777 are yet to be approved by the FA wasn’t enough of a concern for Everton, the mixed reports and claims coming out from insiders with knowledge of the deal should spell further confusion amid ongoing talks.
What reason would there be for anybody to spin a different tale surrounding this if it wasn’t something they were entirely aware of? Such a dramatic contrast in reports causing confusion outside of the deal only suggests an equal level of confusion inside.
The consistent reports about wrongdoings elsewhere, whether 777 involve their several other investments, or legal claims that are being disputed in America, do not lay the groundwork for a stable and confident owner coming into Everton.
These concerns will continue to arise until they are addressed directly, but the continued assessment of 777 by the Premier League and independent panels ahead of the potential takeover will make their call on the eligibility.
