Everton Football Club is teetering on the brink of administration, with potential new owners 777 Partners encountering financial turmoil. The club’s proposed £500 million takeover by the US investment group is in jeopardy following the collapse of their Australian airline venture, Bonzo. As a result, Everton has consulted insolvency experts, raising concerns about their financial future.
Despite being 11 points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with three games remaining, the Toffees have already been docked eight points this season.777 Partners, who have loaned Everton nearly £200 million to cover immediate expenses, are struggling to finalize the deal. This development has prompted Everton owner Farhad Moshiri to explore alternative ownership options. The Premier League is likely to reject 777 Partners’ bid, further complicating Everton’s situation. Moshiri and interim CEO Colin Chong are working to secure additional loans to keep the club afloat.
Despite the off-field turmoil, manager Sean Dyche has successfully guided Everton to safety with three consecutive wins. However, the club’s future remains uncertain pending the outcome of their appeal against the points deduction. The Premier League confirmed that Everton’s relegation rivals Sheffield United are awaiting the outcome of Everton and Nottingham Forest’s points deduction appeals before their relegation is finalized.
