Everton takeover: 777 Partners ‘junior debt’ update emerges as ‘deeper’ financial issues mooted
Everton’s new prospective owners 777 Partner’s loans represent “junior debt” that would be last to pay off should the club fall into deeper financial problems, as detailed in a report by i News.
777 have agreed to buy the club from Farhad Moshiri and have loaned him some cash whilst the takeover process goes on.
They are likely to have done this to show how committed they are to purchasing the organisation.
The loans have been classed as ‘junior debt’ though, which means the company are less likely to get their money back should the Toffees fall into some issues.
777 Partner’s Everton takeover latest
The takeover is taking way too long and it is becoming very frustrating for everyone involved with Everton.
They need to preserve their Premier League status first and foremost this season under Sean Dyche. Dropping into the Championship would have disastrous financial implications and could put off prospective buyers and send the club into disarray.
With the new stadium on the horizon, the future should be bright for the Toffees but they need the 777 Partners deal to get over the line.
Once it is done, they can start planning for upcoming seasons and make themselves a force to be reckoned with in the top flight at the right end of the table.
777 own a host of clubs around the world already, including Standard Liege in Belgium, Vasco de Gama in Brazil, Genoa in Italy, Red Star in France and Hertha Berlin in Germany as they plot their first steps into England.
In other Everton news, they are keen on signing a new defender this summer.
