What the Premier League posed to Farhad Moshiri at Everton yesterday in the midst of takeover negotiations

Off-the-field matters continue to dominate headlines regarding Everton, with 777 Partners persisting in their attempt to acquire the club, now entering its fifth month.

Complicating matters is the Premier League points deduction, with news from

respected journalist Alan Myers suggesting that Everton may receive the result of their appeal by next week.

While the Premier League punishment looms, the proposed takeover is reportedly gaining momentum.

According to the Liverpool Echo, 777 Partners’ acquisition of the club is nearing a resolution,

almost five months after the initial announcement of the proposed deal to purchase 94.1% of Everton.

Sources close to the matter express optimism about progress in the coming days,

with a potential deal possibly concluded before the end of February.

Even if the US investment firm fails to gain approval, it’s believed they will maintain ties with the club.

Journalist Paul Brown has provided further insight into the takeover situation, revealing that the Premier League recently questioned Farhad Moshiri and 777 Partners regarding

the latter’s ability to fund the club’s purchase.

Brown’s report indicates that without satisfactory answers, the approval process could be significantly prolonged.

Despite Everton’s turbulent circumstances, including both a takeover bid and

a Premier League charge, manager Sean Dyche deserves recognition for navigating the challenges.

Dyche himself seems relatively unfazed by the ownership uncertainty, emphasizing the

need to wait until the deal is finalized before making any assumptions.

Meanwhile, on the pitch, Everton’s upcoming clash against Crystal Palace

holds significant importance. With Everton yet to secure a win in 2024 and

currently languishing in the relegation zone,

Monday’s match presents an opportunity to climb out of the bottom three, potentially

dragging Palace into the relegation battle as well.
