Everton debt is a “very serious thing,” according to 777 Partners, who keeps making loans.
Potential new owners for Everton, 777 Partners, have been consistently injecting funds into the club without Premier League approval, causing concern at Goodison Park, according to journalist Paul Brown speaking to GIVEMESPORT.
In September, Farhad Moshiri agreed to transfer his 94.1% ownership to 777 Partners, with the completion of the sale expected by the end of 2023.
However, as of February, the deal has not received full ratification. Despite approval from the Financial Conduct Authority in December, hurdles remain, including Premier League approval.
777 Partners, based in Miami, loaned £40m to Everton in October and an additional £30m in February, totaling over £190m.
Everton’s inactivity in the January transfer window and facing two Premier League charges for financial breaches raise concerns. If the deal with 777 Partners falls through, Everton could owe almost £200m.
Journalist Paul Brown suggests 777 Partners are ‘pessimistic’ about completing the takeover. Another investment group is reportedly waiting if the deal collapses.
The money injected into the club has not translated to on-field benefits, with no new signings in January, raising concerns about its use to sustain operations at Goodison Park.
Brown emphasizes the uncertainty of the 777 Partners deal’s completion, indicating Everton’s debt to the investment group may need repayment.
He stresses the seriousness of Everton’s growing debt, stating that more debt is the last thing the club needs.
Regarding injuries, after Everton’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, manager Sean Dyche provided an update. Arnaut Danjuma is ‘very doubtful’ for the upcoming match against Manchester City, while Ben Godfrey’s substitution was due to cramp.
Updates on Amadou Onana and Abdoulaye Doucoure remain pending.
