Everton insolvency likelihood shared after 777 Partners takeover ‘twist’
The Telegraph has shared what sources have said with regards to Everton potentially going into insolvency after the latest 777 Partners “twist”.
Further doubts were raised over the American investment fund’s ability to finance a takeover following a delay in covering the club’s monthly payroll.
However, the British news outlet reported on its online edition that 777 finally made the payment on Tuesday (30 April).
The report added: “Sources close to the proposed takeover have denied the latest talks are a precursor to the 777 deal collapsing or even to possible insolvency.
“The latest twist in the takeover saga comes days after Everton secured their Premier League survival.”
What is the latest with 777 Partners’ Everton takeover
777 has covered the day-to-day running costs, meaning the club are staying above water for now, but this simply cannot go on.
Everton are in desperate need for a takeover to go through – ideally with someone other than 777 at the helm, although beggars cannot be choosers.
The investment fund has now put more than £200million into the club, which will ultimately have to be paid back if the takeover collapses.
That means any interested parties out there would have to factor that in should they weigh up an offer for Everton, making it even less appetising.
Chaos seems to follow 777 and that will be no different at Everton. Right now, nobody knows if this takeover is going to go through.
This is a mess of Farhad Moshiri’s own doing, yet it is the fans who could be made to suffer the most in the worst-case scenario. Hopefully it does not come to that.
