Alan Myers issues 777 Partners alternatives verdict amid Everton takeover chaos
Alan Myers states that any potential alternatives to the 777 Partners have not yet made their voice heard with regard to the Everton takeover.
This comes after it was revealed that Farhad Moshiri had agreed an extension to the exclusivity deal with 777 Partners until the end of the way.
The Sky Sports news editor believes that if there are any rival bidders, the time is now for them to go on the record.
Myers wrote in his column on 15 May: “Everton fans have made it increasingly clear that they are not in favour of the 777 group taking the reins with the club’s Fan Advisory Board demanding a meeting with Moshiri and understandably looking for answers.
“Moshiri has agreed to meet with the group next week where he will be challenged on why he has given 777 a final chance, what do they offer and if that deal is to fail what plans are in place for alternative funding of the club.
“There are, it’s believed, other options out there but there have been no public declarations by any other ‘would-be owners’. If they are there, now would be a good time to make themselves known so the fans can truly understand what the alternatives are because the current vacuum of information is not helping anyone.”
Everton re-entering risky territory with 777 Partners
The situation surrounding the potential takeover by 777 Partners is undoubtedly a dire one, reflecting a complex and uncertain period for the club.
The process has been fraught with challenges, from the financial and legal troubles of 777 Partners to the lack of transparency and communication with Everton fans and stakeholders.
Farhad Moshiri, who is the current majority shareholder, has extended the deadline for the takeover, indicating a willingness to continue with 777 Partners despite mounting evidence of their unsuitability which has led to the disgust of fans.
This decision not only prolongs the uncertainty but also raises questions about the due diligence conducted before considering such a significant change in ownership.
The lack of clarity and the apparent disregard for fan sentiment further exacerbate the situation.
The Toffees’ financial stability and future prospects are already at stake and the decision to entertain 777 Partners, with their uncertain financial standing and legal issues, seems to be a risky and potentially harmful move.
In other Everton news, a claim has emerged on Saudi Arabia potentially completing the takeover ahead of the 777 Partners.
