The inside track on the football stories that matter
Farhad Moshiri didn’t need to give John Textor exclusivity in a deal to buy Everton despite his eagerness to complete a takeover.the Everton owner perhaps believes the American businessman has a deal lined up to sell his 45-per-cent stake in Crystal Palace.reported on 15 August Textor has entered a period of exclusivity to buy Moshiri’s 94.1-per-cent stake at Goodison Park.
But one complication is the 58-year-old’s shares in Crystal Palace, with Premier League rules forbidding ownership of two clubs in the same division.reported on 15 August Moshiri’s agreement with Textor has taken some club officials by surprise. It comes after the Merseyside giants have already seen two takeover bids collapse over the past few months, with 777 Partners and The Friedkin Group both failing to get a deal over the line.Borson suggested the decision to hand Textor exclusivity was likely made by the board.
“It doesn’t strike me on the face of it as a deal in terms of exclusivity that Everton and Moshiri needed to do,”“There are some reports that giving the exclusivity has surprised a few people within the club.“I’m not sure who would be that important to be surprised, but you would assume it was a board decision to hand over exclusivity to Textor.
