Just In: UK journalist shares if new Everton takeover can be done this week before June 14th
Farhad Moshiri will need to wait months rather than weeks to secure a new takeover deal for Everton, according to Giulia Bould.
The journalist reported via BBC Sport on Saturday (1 June) that any new takeover bids at Goodison Park will be subjected to another Premier League owners’ and directors’ test should they want to proceed.
It is understood, considering the timeframe of 777 Partners’ attempted takeover bid, that a new deal to take control of the Toffees would take months.
Everton takeover timeline emerges after 777 Partners bid falls through
For many faithful fans at Goodison Park, the overriding emotion after seeing 777 Partners’ failed takeover bid will be relief, especially after the Miami-based businesses issues with other clubs under their multi-club umbrella.
There has been talk of fire sales and administration and there remains a deep uncertainty for the fanbase but for now it looks as though 777 are not going to get the keys at Goodison Park.
The Toffees were embroiled in a relegation battle for much of the season, mostly due to the points deductions handed out for breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules, which could have been detrimental to the football club, before pulling clear in the closing games.
The passionate fans just want to know that the club they love will still be standing next season and the idea that any new proposed takeover will still be months away after the debacle with 777 finished will be hugely disappointing.
While John Textor could seemingly be an option this summer, the businessman would need to sell his stake in Crystal Palace to become the majority shareholder at Goodison Park, which is a process in itself.
The uncertainty is already beginning to affect Sean Dyche and his team, with the likes of Jarrad Branthwaite and Amadou Onana likely to be sold this summer in an attempt to raise funds.
This will leave Dyche short of star players on Merseyside, which will likely leave the Blues fighting against relegation for a fourth successive campaign.
