777 Partners, the prospective owners of Everton, are seeking an extension to the deadline for paying a major club creditor as part of the Premier League's approval conditions. The deal to purchase Farhad Moshiri's stake in the club has not yet been ratified by the Premier League, causing delays. 777 Partners has provided funding for Everton's working capital and stadium construction, but the deal may not be concluded until May 2024.
Prospective Everton owners 777 Partners are to formally request an extension to a deadline where they have to pay a major club creditor as part of the Premier League ’s conditions of approval. The Miami-based investment firm agreed to purchase Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake in the club back in September. But seven months on the deal has still not been ratified by the Premier League via its owners and directors test.
777 Partners, which owns a number of football teams across the globe including Genoa and Standard Liege, has provided some £180million in funding for working capital to Everton to ensure the construction of the club’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock could continue, as well as payroll obligations be met. However, a deal that they had hoped would be concluded before the end of 2023 now faces rumbling on into May 2024.
