Everton search for an alternative buyer as 777 Partners no longer interested in buying the EPL club

Toffees chiefs are apparently seeking for new, alternative owners to repair their sinking ship,

citing the dependability of a bid from possible new owners 777 Partners,

after Farhad Moshiri advertised the Toffees for sale more than a year ago.

The Toffees have struggled financially for the past four years,

resulting in an eight-point deduction and the sales of star players such as Richarlison and Anthony Gordon –

but with a deal becoming increasingly unlikely,

the Merseyside club is ready to look to other parties for financial assistance, according to the New York Times.

Everton: Financial Takeover Latest

The Toffees have suffered financially for several years.

According to the article, Everton has begun looking for other owners due to 777 Partners’ delay in their takeover.

The club stated in September that they had inked an agreement to sell the club to the American investment business,

but more than half a year later, the Premier League has yet to approve the deal due to concerns about 777’s financial soundness.

With the Toffees underperforming on the pitch and only five points clear of relegation thanks to their eight-point deduction for breaking Financial Fair Play standards,

fans have become desperate rather than glad to see a new owner come to the club;

and having borrowed £160 million from Partners to help stay away from bankruptcy, their picture going forward remains uncertain.

According to sources at the club, Moshiri has reportedly asked Deloitte to look for other purchasers;

however, a representative for Moshiri has stated that the agreement with 777’remains in place’ and that

they are working to complete the transaction.

Everton’s Financial Mess Analysed

Everton have been tinkering with their financial mess for nearly half a decade.

The Toffees haven’t made many good financial decisions under Moshiri’s leadership,

and a lot of deals for big-name players failed, putting them on track to become a lower-half Premier League club.

Certain transfers, such as the arrivals of Yannick Bolasie, Davy Klassen, Jean-Philippe Gbamin,

Allan, Morgan Schneiderlin, Theo Walcott, and Cenk Tosun, all cost the Toffees more than £20 million each,

with the highest fee received for any of those players being £12 million for Klaasen,

with Bolas, Gbamin, Allan, Walcott, and Tosun all departing on free transfers.

They are only a few of the additions made by the Toffees, and with Financial Fair Play laws in place,

the club could only go one way after failing to secure any money for their ageing stars on hefty contracts.

Prior to Moshiri’s ownership, Everton had been a top half club in the Premier League for nine of the previous ten seasons;

however, since then, the Toffees have only finished in the top half in four of the eight seasons possible,

three of which occurred in the three years following Moshiri’s investment.

Everton were fined ten points in November for violating FFP rules, and while that was lowered to six,

an additional two points were forfeited following an appeal. If the point deductions had not been applied,

Everton would have been theoretically safe from relegation after defeating Nottingham Forest 2-0 on Sunday afternoon.
