Everton’s takeover saga has dominated their entire season, and looks no closer to reaching a conclusion.
Especially given 777 Partners, who remained incensed that they would eventually get into power, seemingly have little chance of doing so now.
John Textor has emerged as the alternative, but with Alan Myers confirming other takeover parties interested in Everton, this could spiral into an all-out bidding war.
Farhad Moshiri will be licking his lips, and Simon Jordan has weighed in on this debacle.
Simon Jordan on Everton’s takeover saga
Speaking on talkSPORT just yesterday, the former Crystal Palace chairman would offer his verdict on the reports linking John Textor with an Everton takeover.
And whilst he offered a glowing recommendation for the American who now co-owns the club he used to be involved with, he did admit that the Toffees remain a far more attractive proposition despite their recent struggles.
In fact, were it not for the failures of Moshiri, Jordan was positive in his assessment of the club.
He claimed: ‘What I can tell you, in the financial community that surrounds the football world, people think there’s going to be someone who nicks Everton. I.e. They’re going to get Everton cheap.

‘Because if Everton were run properly, or had been run properly, they’d be a top eight football club in the Premier League knocking on the door of Europe with a new stadium coming down the pike, everyone would be going this is a £600m-£700m football club.
‘As it is at this moment in time, it’s a car crash, because of the bad management and, with all due respect to the board that was there, with my dear friend Bill Kenwright who was also involved in some of the decisions that weren’t great.
‘But the main culprit, undoubtedly to me, is the man with the money Moshiri.’
Everton remain an attractive takeover proposition
Even if relegation battles have become the norm at Everton, and financial constraints are relentlessly plaguing the club, the Toffees remain a desirable prospect for someone seeking to wake up a sleeping giant.
Especially if someone with big money is willing to come in and spend it to fix these issues, with the latter something that could be eased with a swift influx of cash.
Naturally, due to PSR, they are expected to be hamstrung in the market for a few years to come.
However, with the shrewd work that Kevin Thelwell and Sean Dyche have done already, at the very least a present and rich backer would allow them to have a stronger stance on selling their prized assets.

With just a few tweaks, there is every chance that the Toffees could soar up the table in the same way the Newcastle United and Aston Villa have done in the last two years.
The potential is there, and to get it right on Merseyside would be historic given the size and stature of this famous footballing institution.

BBC journalist claims that Everton are in ‘ongoing’ talks to sign £90k-a-week player

Everton have already enjoyed a blistering start to the summer transfer window, despite the fact that they have yet to make a signing.
Over the years, the Toffees have so often been a lightning rod for easy, lazy transfer links, given their free-spending nature and endless pot of money.
Well, given the latter has dried up, making the former a thing of the past, those unrelenting rumours have certainly died off.
Now, if the Toffees are being linked to a player, there is usually good reason to believe that it could well happen.
In this case, we would certainly expect movement in the coming weeks.
Everton close in on loan signing of Jack Harrison
Writing on X, formerly Twitter, BBC journalist Shamoon Hafez would seek to update fans on two deals that Kevin Thelwell is clearly seeking to get done.
With Everton’s interest in Kalvin Phillips well-documented, it might perhaps go under the radar how close the Toffees are getting to recapturing Jack Harrison on loan for one more year.

Well, this reporter sought to emphasise that in his tweet, which read: ‘Everton interested in signing #MCFC midfielder Kalvin Phillips on season-long loan deal, as @VinnOConnor has said.
‘Talks ongoing between Toffees and #LUFC over another loan deal for winger Jack Harrison. #EFC’.
The £90k-a-week winger enjoyed a solid season at Goodison Park last campaign, making 25 Premier League starts and posting six goal contributions.
Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil are perfect for Everton
Although those aforementioned figures hardly offer the most sparkling commendation given how wide men have developed into chief goalscorers in recent years, for Sean Dyche’s system, what they offer without the ball is far more important.
After all, his philosophy relies heavily on solidity at the back, with both right and left midfielders protecting their full-backs when possible to avoid overloads.
Whilst the modern-day game seeks to invert the wingers and get the full-backs bombing forwards, the former Burnley boss actively seeks to negate this with his use of wide men.
So, that makes the tireless and hard-working Harrison and Dwight McNeil perfect for him, and likely explains why the more extravagant but less drilled Arnaut Danjuma barely got a look in all year.
Dyche relies on reliability, and that is exactly what this pairing offers.

Last season saw them record 4.4 and 5.1 ball recoveries per game respectively, remarkable figures for what many would describe as attackers.
Retaining the core of the squad that helped them achieve safety with ease marks a fine start to the summer window for Everton. Now we hope for some star-studded cut-price additions like Phillips.
