Farhad Moshiri urged to ‘reject’ 777 Partners after Richard Masters takeover update.

The Everton supporters no longer desire Farhad Moshiri to lead their team. That much is quite evident. They simply cannot afford another tenure such to the one they are currently suffering, so that does not mean they will accept any new owner to take over.

His legacy has caused this once-magnificent team to decline and become relegation fodder due to financial problems, something that will send shivers down the spine of supporters for decades to come. Nevertheless, in its attempt to seize control, 777 Partners has not exactly instilled public trust in Merseyside, even after reaching a deal to sell in September.

What did The Esk say about Farhad Moshiri?

Paul Quinn, a writer well known on X as “The Esk,” has now pleaded with the Iranian to sell Everton—but to the right owners.

Given their prominence and the significantly lower price tag their recent predicament has garnered, they would undoubtedly not be short of potential suitors, as stories in recent weeks have suggested a new consortium was waiting in the wings to pounce on any openings.

Four months after the process began, he would write, ‘Why would any due diligence procedure still be at least “weeks” away (from Richard Masters)? It’s time for Moshiri to accept that 777 is unfit, turn them down, and let other qualified individuals save the team.

What inspired Quinn’s statement was the notion outlined by the Premier League CEO Richard Masters just yesterday, speaking to Parliament about the potential of an outside regulator, and Everton. Of the many questions he answered, one pondered why 777 Partners had seen their touted takeover drag on for so long. He suggested that they were yet to receive adequate answers to the questions they had posed.

Everton desperately need a new owner

Despite Everton’s desperate efforts to find a new owner, Moshiri needs to exercise caution to avoid simply giving it to another con artist. Ultimately, despite the substantial amount of money he has invested in the club, there hasn’t been nearly enough guidance to support any meaningful advancements.

Even if 777 Partners supposedly has a fortune bigger than Moshiri’s and a multi-club structure that should help them succeed in the long run, there are still too many financial scandals and unanswered concerns around them to make them the ideal consortium.

If the Miami-based company is unable to provide that, which appears to be the case, then maybe Quinn is correct. Giving the team to a volatile new owner might be the tipping point.
