Sources close to Farhad Moshiri speak out as 777 Partners takeover twist emerges at Everton
Sources close to Farhad Moshiri have explained that they remain committed to completing the 777 Partners takeover at Everton, according to BBC Sport.
The news outlet reported via its website on 23 April that it is understood that no other parties are waiting to take over should the deal fall through, with the focus fully on 777.
This comes following reports that Deloitte, the club’s main financial adviser, has been seeking additional investors to get the deal over the line – something sources say is “standard practice.”
777 Partners takeover twist emerges at Everton
The repeated line coming from 777, the club, and now those close to Moshiri, is that all parties remain committed to the ongoing takeover process and are confident of finding an eventual solution to allow the deal to go through.
However, with constant reports surrounding issues with 777, the longer the process drags on, the longer it feels as if the most likely outcome is for the takeover to fall through.
talkSPORT journalist Sam Matterface recently revealed that he had been told loan repayments to MSP Capital had been delayed until the end of April or the beginning of May, but with time running out and the search for additional funding beginning, it doesn’t look good.
Those repayments remain the final major obstacle preventing 777 from completing their takeover, and if they are unable to meet that demand, the takeover could fall through.
With nobody reportedly waiting to take over should that be the case, the possibility of administration is one that will likely be mentioned again in the coming weeks.
