If the 777 Partners buyout is blocked, Everton will be ‘exposed’ to January sales.
According to the Mirror (23 September), Everton are “vulnerable” in the January transfer market if 777 Partners’ takeover is not approved.
The Miami-based corporation agreed to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94% ownership in the club (Sky Sports, September 15), however the publication stated online that uncertainties persist over whether the sale will go ahead.
Everton will also face an independent commission in October over alleged Financial Fair Play violations, according to the Mirror, and the club is reliant on loans from 777 and MSP Sports Capital to cover monthly costs, with Moshiri no longer willing to put money in due to a “worrying financial situation.”
According to the Mirror, if the takeover is blocked, players such as Jordan Pickford, Amadou Onana, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin might be available for transfer in the January window.
According to The Mirror, it would be a “nightmare scenario” for manager Sean Dyche, who is already working with a tight transfer budget.
You have to feel sorry for Everton fans right now.
On the one hand, there is little doubt that the boardroom is in serious need of change, with Moshiri no longer in a position to keep the club going.

On the other hand, there are severe worries about 777 Partners’ viability, and there is no certainty that they will even get the go-ahead to execute their takeover.
So it is almost a foregone conclusion that star players will have to leave Goodison Park if new investment does not materialize in order to maintain cash flowing into the club.
However, Dyche would face a tremendous challenge if that happened, since the Toffees manager is already dealing with a small team. If one of their key players leaves, it will make life incredibly difficult in what is expected to be another relegation struggle.
