Despite all the rumours circulating, it seems like nobody really knows exactly what is going on with Everton’s takeover.
After all, it is simply impossible to truly predict what Farhad Moshiri is thinking, and only when he has communicated his final decision somewhere will we know what is actually going on with this protracted situation.
Including 777 Partners’ efforts to assume control, this is a process that has spanned nearly ten months now.
It has been exhausting, but at last, we are finally enjoying some much-needed calm as many suitors slowly start to reveal themselves.
Alan Myers offers Everton takeover update
However, Alan Myers has now revealed whether we can expect more to emerge.
After all, at present we have just a handful of confirmed candidates showing real, tangible interest, likely spurred on by John Textor’s glowing recommendation of the club.
When asked on X whether more parties might reveal themselves later on down the line though, the Sky Sports reporter, who is likely the most reliable informant on the matter, replied: ‘Always possible but once an agreement in place then we have the same process to go through.’
Who is leading the Everton takeover race?
There are various contrasting reports surrounding who is actually leading the takeover race, and therefore it comes down to which sources each person trusts the most.
Not only that, but there will be an element of bias within each pick too, given everyone will have their favourites for the post.
Some might prefer the steady and unspectacular leadership that George Downing and Andy Bell could bring, as a couple of Evertonians who would not be blessed with the most mouth-watering fortune, but would certainly have the club’s best interests at heart.
Meanwhile, others might be more willing to sacrifice that sentimentality for the Saudi ruthlessness that has already been displayed at both Manchester City and Newcastle United.
One report has claimed that A-Cap are in the Everton takeover driving seat, meanwhile others have praised that fan-led partnership for its efforts in pushing out in front.
At the end of the day, it is completely down to Moshiri, and the reckless and unpredictable nature of many of his decisions across a torrid tenure at Everton means nobody knows what the outcome will be.
His intent on selling to 777 Partners, before the inevitable collapse of the deal, should be enough to explain why so many are not trusting the Iranian to make the intelligent move in this situation.
