Everton: Takeover announced as 777 Partners is the subject of a New York lawsuit
Everton has been brought up in a lawsuit filed in New York against 777 Partners amid ongoing takeover discussions, as questions regarding the financial stability of the group have been raised, as reported by Bloomberg.
Obra Capital, a creditor, cited the takeover in their argument to demonstrate that the group has been evading debt payments.
The sudden increase in spending by 777 Partners on Everton and other football clubs has sparked inquiries into the origin of their funds, especially considering their previous low financial profile.
The lawsuit against 777 Partners could have significant implications for Everton.
The negative publicity surrounding 777 Partners raises doubts about their ability to successfully complete the takeover of Everton.
This situation does not bode well for ongoing evaluations of the group’s suitability
by Premier League owners and directors.
Several other clubs owned by 777 Partners have experienced protests during matches, ongoing legal disputes since takeover talks commenced, and concerns regarding the source of their funding.
Given the seriousness and number of these concerns, as well as the prolonged
deliberation by the Premier League regarding the takeover, it appears evident that
the group may not be suitable to own Everton.
The initiation of a new lawsuit in New York adds further complications.
It is doubtful that the Premier League would view this situation favorably,
especially considering the timing, potentially
impacting 777 Partners’ bid to acquire Everton negatively.
