The 777 Partners are set to miss their deadline of 31 May to complete the takeover of Everton, according to the Guardian.

The media outlet reported on 30 May that the club can now talk to new buyers as the date agreed with Farhad Moshiri is expected to pass without a development emerging.

Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is understood to be keen on buying the club from Moshiri, having made his intentions public.

Guardian wrote on Twitter: "Everton can talk to new buyers with 777 Partners set to miss latest deadline."

Everton appear to have dodged a bullet with 777 Partners not taking over

The failure of 777 Partners to complete the takeover of the Toffees must be seen as a blessing in disguise for the club.

777's financial stability has been under scrutiny, with questions raised about their ability to fund the club's operations and future development, including the completion of a new stadium.

Moreover, the financial health of the club is a significant concern, with Everton facing potential financial fair play sanctions.

The club's future could be better served by a more financially stable and reputable owner, such as John Textor, who has expressed interest in the club.

This change in ownership could provide the stability and resources Everton need to compete in the Premier League and complete the new stadium project.
