777 Partners make Everton takeover power play to Premier League – Expert
Dan Plumley has admitted that 777 Partners have attempted a power play in a new message to the Premier League over their proposed takeover of Everton.
It has been shared that the latest cash injection of £30million into the club from the American investment firm came with the proviso that a decision over the takeover is imminent.
The football finance expert insisted that there is “tit-for-tat” going on with Richard Masters recently admitting the Premier League needs more answers ahead of the decision finally being made.
“It is an interesting line,” he exclusively told Goodison News.
“Listen, we never see the full picture, do we? You think there is a bit of a power play going on here, probably between 777 and the Premier League. It could be a way of them trying to nudge the Premier League to say we’re still here and we’re putting money into the club so you need to get this takeover signed off pretty quickly.
“On the other hand, just a week or so ago, we’ve got the chief executive of the Premier League saying they’ve not got all of their answers to the questions they’ve asked of 777 around the takeover.
“There is a little bit of that tit-for-tat going on at the minute and I get the sense that if that line has directly come out of 777, there will be a little bit of a power play angle to it. None of that is great for the club, of course.”

With the outcome of the first appeal over the points deduction also expected within days, it looks as though February is going to be a very busy month at Goodison Park.
The takeover going through and positive news over the appeal would make it the perfect month though, with fingers crossed currently on all fronts now.
