Report: Within two weeks, the Premier League will make a decision regarding 777 Partners.

The Miami-based investment business was anticipating a call from the League this week, according to The Telegraph, and a decision would be made by the end of the month. Farhad Moshiri, the club’s current majority shareholder and de facto owner, agreed to sell 777 Partners his 94.1% ownership stake in the Blues last September. The same newspaper reported that the deal was complicated and heavily dependent on the team’s performance in the interim and the division it would play in the following season.

The decision by an independent commission to suggest that the Premier League dock Everton 10 points—a historic penalty that has the club facing relegation for a third straight season—and the League’s referral of the Blues to a second commission for additional Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) violations have since tainted the proposed acquisition.

The East Midlands club was charged with a PSR breach along with Everton in January, with their first commission scheduled for March. Under new directives, the decision from that panel and any ensuing appeals must be concluded by the end of May this year. Everton could hear the outcome of their appeal of the first PSR charge and their 10-point sanction any day now (the news in November came on a Friday afternoon). It is expected that the verdict of that panel will have significant implications for both the Toffees’ second commission hearing and Nottingam Forest’s first.

777 Partners has provided Everton with approximately £180 million in loans to keep the funding of the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and, consequently, its construction on track for completion by the end of the year, while the company has awaited word from the Premier League regarding their passing of the Owners and Directors Test.

In the event that Josh Wander and Steve Pasko’s takeover effort succeeds, they intend to convert the debt into stock and initiate the process of restructuring the club’s remaining debt with principal creditors Rights & Media Funding, Metro Bank, and maybe MSP Sports Capital.
