Everton Takeover: Josh Wander Summoned to Court over Explicit photo after PL talks held over Everton.
Following in-person discussions with the Premier League this week on the Everton takeover, Josh Wander and 777 Partners have declined to comment on the growing legal issues, according to The Times.
The company’s co-founder has now met with the league officials during the week over the long-delayed topic, amid various legal obstacles,
according to a March 8 article by Martin Ziegler for the paper’s website.
In addition to the US company’s ongoing legal battle with Obra Capital for debt payments, model Nina Agdal, YouTuber Logan Paul’s partner,
has subpoenaed Wander in her legal battle against mixed martial arts competitor Dillon Danis.
The potential Everton owner is however not sued,
but he will be called to testify because court documents purport that Agdal
“maintains” Wander took and published an explicit photo of her without permission.
Dannis is then accused of posting the photo online in the lead-up to his boxing match against Paul this year.
According to reports, Wander replied to a Florida district court by saying that he
“flatly denies this baseless allegation” and that it is “gravely untrue.”
After being kept in the dark about the meeting,
the fact that negotiations between Wander and Premier League representatives have
now taken place face-to-face is a significant step toward the Toffees’ eventual acquisition of some clarity.
However, the fact that two distinct court cases—one regarding 777 and the other
involving Wander—have eclipsed this event appears to be indicative of the reasons
why there have been so many assertions that the takeover will not proceed.
Regardless of the resolution, it is not a good PR move to be associated with these conflicts,
and because Richard Masters’ office hasn’t taken a position yet,
they will undoubtedly be following any updates on these developments.
Everton supporters may be suprised as to how they ended up in this situation,
but a lengthy string of errors made by the club’s management ultimately brought them here.
In the event that the current bid is rejected,
some may find it alluring to hold out hope that one of the other buyers will have the
chance to negotiate a better bargain because there is so much unwelcome noise
around the 777 bid.
Although it is perhaps worth questioning where they all were when Wander and
company secured a deal with Farhad Moshiri in September after talks with MSD Sports Capital fell through.
