Why recent Premier League vote will hugely benefit Everton under 777 Partners

Yesterday marked an important date in the Premier League’s calendar, as they gathered all 20 of their teams, including an Everton side they had just punished for financial misconduct, to vote on a new topic.

Newcastle United’s links with Ruben Neves had drawn scrutiny, given his club, Al Hilal, were also under the ownership of their new custodians, PIF.

As such, many saw it as an unfair advantage set to be gained by the franchise club of the Saudi Arabian magnate.

And yet, despite such unrest surrounding the potential move, it was a motion that could not be banned, given eight of the division’s teams voted to deny the implementation of the statute.

Whilst those sides have since been revealed, it could come as a surprise to see that Everton were one of those opposing the ban.

However, with 777 Partners still interested in a takeover despite all the turmoil surrounding Goodison Park, such a decision actually makes perfect sense.

Why will the Premier League vote benefit Everton?

Well, it should come as no surprise that the bulk of those eight sides are actually aligned, or somewhat linked, with multi-club businesses.

Manchester City are part of the far-reaching City Group, whilst the Magpies obviously have ties back in Saudi Arabia.

Should the Toffees see the proposed takeover ratified, they would arguably join one of the more sprawling portfolios in the game, with the Miami-based firm also in possession of Sevilla, Genoa, Standard Liege, Red Star FC, Melbourne Victory, Vasco da Gama and Hertha BSC.

To boast ties across most of Europe’s top five leagues, as well as two big sides in Australia and Brazil, will give Everton such a massive pool to pick from given they would likely become the franchise team of 777 Partners.

The Premier League is renowned for its vast revenue, which has allowed the top English clubs to distance themselves from the chasing pack in recent years.

By progressing the Merseyside outfit, with the new stadium promising big things too, this new ownership would be certain to profit massively from what seems now like a hugely distressed asset.

To be able to dip into their other resources, and funnel the top talent of those clubs into Everton, outlines exactly why yesterday’s ruling benefits the Toffees.
