Everton: ‘Fascinating’ 777 Partners development emerges, it could impact Goodison Park takeover

The financial expert was reacting to statements made during this week’s Kenneth King A-Cap webinar, in which 777 was told that its exposure will be eliminated in 60 days. King has lent $777 million through a network of investment and insurance companies. But now that we have this update, that is anticipated to alter.

The Esk posted on his own Twitter page [2 March] after fully transcribing King’s statements for theesk.org, saying, “This part of King’s responses is fascinating.””As far as I’m aware, neither 777 nor 777 Re own $1 billion (£790.1 million) in cash. Even if they did, how would that affect their cash-strapped companies? More importantly, how would they pay for Everton’s acquisition and cap requirements?”

777 Partners takeover at Everton continues to drag on

There seem to be more questions about 777 Partners and their specific financing plan for this purchase with every week that goes by. This is not an easy acquisition. For example, it’s not just one billionaire demonstrating their willingness and ability to invest millions of dollars in the club.

Rather, this is an investment fund, and the funds invested in Everton are obtained through a variety of different channels. Not to mention the numerous other clubs that are already part of its stable. Issues like these that would typically go unnoticed are now squarely in the public view, thanks to The Esk. And with good reason—Everton is being directly impacted by this.

What really has to be understood is why Farhad Moshiri is so adamant about selling up to 777. And are there any other choices available currently in case this specific takeover fails? It’s a really complicated scenario, and it might get even more muddled before we know for sure who will actually buy out Moshiri.
