Everton are a club that is simply impossible to predict, whether it be on or off the pitch.

Just when things might seem to be going right, there is a sucker punch seemingly always waiting around the corner.

And yet, when they seem at their absolute worst, a winning run can also occur at any given moment too.

Alas, few could possibly have predicted or foreseen this latest piece of news, detailing who might now be joining John Textor’s Everton takeover

Taking to his Patreon, journalist Alan Nixon has not detailed arguably the most unpredictable potential story of the year.

After all, he has claimed that rapper and billionaire Jay-Z could clamber on board John Textor takeover, bringing in his vast fortune and entrepreneurship.

The report reads: ‘Rap star Jay-Z is on the radar of Everton takeover bidder John Textor as a potential member of his team.

‘Super-rich Jay-Z could be talked into pumping some cash into the Toffees if Textor can buy the club in the coming weeks.

‘Textor has been in touch with several possible partners as he looks to make the Merseysiders a super power.

‘The American admits that he will need help to put the millions together he wants to buy Everton and then throw extra cash at signing star players.

‘Jay-Z, husband of Beyoncé, has become an entrepreneur on the back of his music success and could be open to joining in the Textor team.

‘Big-thinking Textor hopes to sell the idea to others who could be attracted by the football and also the prospect of using their new dockside home as a venue for other projects.’

Jay-Z would be another impossibly unpredictable Everton outcome

As noted earlier, there’s truly nothing at Everton that can be predicted anymore.

Last season, after a truly barren spell of form in which they had failed to win in 13, was swiftly overturned by three more straight victories, one of which came against Liverpool, and a collection of 13 points across just five games.

With that, Sean Dyche‘s side soared to safety.

And even the season before, just when things looked their worst, a string of fine home wins including one on the final day against AFC Bournemouth stole Premier League safety at the eleventh hour.

You can never count Everton out, and you can also never expect the easy or logical thing to occur either. It’s what adds to the club’s charm, which would only intensify with this unpredictable move.
