Everton is unlikely to have new investors by this weekend despite a deal being reportedly closed amid their current financial situation.
According to Sky Sports editor Alan Myers, it’s understood that they will be buying around a quarter of the stake in the club.
This will mean that Farhad Moshiri will still be the majority stakeholder and have the final say on things.
Via Twitter, Myers wrote, “I’d guess around 20-25% but I don’t know a time scale tbh, so I’ve been told it’s close for a while but it seems it’s gathered pace, I doubt before Saturday if I’m being honest.”
Good move
By the looks of it, the new investors appear keener on Everton than on whether or not they are in the Premier League.
Given the juncture of the season, it may be the worst time to invest as the Toffees do not seem to be in a good space on the field.
They’re among the contenders to get relegated and there’s nothing definitive to suggest that they will be staying up.
Sean Dyche’s arrival may have changed things but the quality in the squad isn’t at the level where Everton can afford to be comfortable.
It remains to be seen when and how much money is put into the club and where it’s going to be spent but this seems more or less certain to go ahead.
Moshiri does not appear to be keen on selling the majority share in the club as he still wants to be the top decision-maker.
