Everton have enjoyed a fresh twist in their takeover saga, late on in the month.
It was well-documented that 777 Partners’ last chance to stump up the necessary funds to buy the Toffees was nearing, and yet if anything we have never seen so little from them.
There were no appearances at Goodison Park to try and put on a strong facade, nor was there another desperate and large cash injection to try and make the club more reliant on their services.
By all accounts, John Wander and co have much bigger fish to fry than buying a football club in England, such is their internal financial struggles.
So, with their main suitor falling to the wayside, it was refreshing to see Crystal Palace’s John Textor make an Everton takeover claim.
Alan Myers issues fresh John Textor update
The latest on his efforts to acquire the club come courtesy of Alan Myers, who once again has sought to inform fans on the most important current events happening in and around Goodison Park.
However, when it comes to takeovers, there is arguably no more important update.
After all, Farhad Moshiri has proven what poor leadership can do to a once stable and secure Premier League club, regressing them to within an inch of their life across just seven years.
But with Textor’s claims, that does seem set to come to an end, as Myers first wrote: ‘Crystal Palace part owner John Textor is stepping up his bid to buy Everton and is thought to be the front runner to buy Moshiri’s shareholding. Textor told the Athletic over the weekend that he would be interested in buying the club and he was trying to sell his stake in Palace.’
Then claiming that the American is not alone in showing an interest in Everton, one fan questioned whether he would be going at this bid alone or with a consortium.
The Sky Sports reporter replied: ‘My understanding is he buys the club.’
