According to former Everton manager Keith Wyness, the team’s “spectacular” new stadium may be the Toffees’ “savior.”

The 66-year-old, who ran a football consultancy advising elite clubs after serving as CEO of Goodison Park from 2004 to 2009, stated on the latest episode of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that 777 Partners will find it difficult to complete their takeover and that the stadium will be crucial in luring in additional investment groups.

It is anticipated that Everton’s new 52,888-seat stadium, which could cost over £750 million, will be finished by late 2024.

It is anticipated that the Merseysiders would relocate to the new stadium in time for the 2025–2026 campaign. According to reports, 777 Partners and Farhad Moshiri reached an agreement in September to purchase 94.1% of Everton for more than £500 million. However, the Premier League, Financial Conduct Authority, and Football Association all need to give their approval.

Wyness claimed that the potential earnings from the new stadium might be appealing to another organization. “I’m still hopeful there is another group out there, waiting for the right moment,” he said in an interview with Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast.

“If they approve 777 Partners and there’s a problem, the Premier League might face serious problems as soon as six months from now.

“I believe that passing the 777 smell test will be extremely challenging at this time, as the Premier League appears to be exercising due diligence.” “A fantastic new stadium that will be built soon is on the horizon, and it will increase their earnings by £50–60 million annually.We must anticipate something like that, but in the meanwhile, there needs to be greater stability.

“It’s ironic that the stadium may ultimately save the team, despite being the root of these issues.”

A significant blow to Everton’s takeover attempt has been revealed by an expert: “they now owe £200 million.”
