John Textor could complete Everton takeover on the cheap as Farhad Moshiri decision mooted
Bryan King claims John Textor could complete a takeover of Everton for a reduced fee.
The ex-Goodison scout believes Farhad Moshiri might have no choice but to sell the club for less than he initially wanted.
Textor has been credited with an interest in completing a takeover at Goodison Park as the 777 Partners deal looks set to fall through.
And King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – believes Everton’s value has decreased.
“Could Textor potentially get Everton for a cheaper price?” King said.
“Whoever comes in will need to take on the club’s debt, which is quite immense.
“If the demand for Everton is limited, then I think Moshiri will be forced to accept a lower price.
“And this entire mess has been created by himself the board.”

Moshiri has essentially lost all bargaining power.
With the club’s struggles so public, it is hard to imagine a queue forming outside Goodison Park.
As a result, the club’s majority owner might be forced to accept whatever he can get.
The Toffees are in a desperate situation, and Textor could look to use this to his advantage.
In other Everton news, the club are to complete a “significant” transfer once the takeover is complete.
