Everton: Sean Dyche gives update on 777 Partners conversations in fresh Farhad Moshiri admission.

Everton manager Sean Dyche has not held contact with prospective new Toffees owners 777 Partners since September, according to the Liverpool Echo.

The site said on Saturday (24 February) that while 777 Partners have kept a steady presence at Everton matches, Dyche has had no further communication with the putative new owners, instead addressing footballing concerns with Farhad Moshiri.

The American-based investment business has agreed on a contract to acquire Moshiri’s majority ownership in the Toffees but is still awaiting clearance from the Premier League, with the expected 12-week process in its 23rd week.

Dyche opened the veil on the subject of his meetings with Moshiri, saying: “Not about takeovers, just about games, the team and all that sort of stuff, not about the business of the club.”

Will 777 Partners complete its Everton takeover?

It is obviously outrageous that Everton and 777 Partners have had to wait this long to discover whether or not the Premier League will allow this takeover to be finalized. It should obviously be pretty clear whether they are fit and proper owners for the Toffees.

This delay combined with the wait over whether or not the Toffees will have been successful in their appeal against their point deduction for violations of profit and sustainability has placed Dyche’s team in full limbo.

There is so much uncertainty around Goodison Park today that will not only be influencing the fans, but the players too as they continue to struggle to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

Hopefully, some answers will emerge sooner rather than later with the likes of David Dein and Jamie Carragher pushing the Premier League for answers. Otherwise, it may be a long second half of the season for the Toffees.
