Farhad Moshiri, the team’s largest stakeholder, believes that prospective Everton owners 777 Partners are “the right people” to take over the Merseyside club.
Concerns have been raised about the British-Iranian businessman’s agreement with 777 Partners to sell the US investment firm his 94% ownership in the Toffees.
The Financial Conduct Authority, the Football Association, and the Premier League will all be reviewing the arrangement.
Sevilla, Melbourne Victory, Genoa, and Hertha Berlin are just a few of the football teams in the company’s athletic portfolio, along with the British Basketball League’s dominant side, the London Lions, and the British Basketball League.
The German club’s supporters have protested against 777 Partners and voiced their displeasure.
According to Moshiri, who spoke to Sky Sports, “the more time I have spent with the 777 team, the more confident I am that we have found the right people to take the club forward in the modern era.”
They are really professional and always show up when they say they will. I am looking forward to them receiving the necessary regulatory clearances and completing the project by the deadline we agreed upon.
“We’re humble enough to acknowledge that we don’t always get everything right the first time and we have learned a lot over the past few years,” said Josh Wander, co-founder of 777.
Nevertheless, I would defy anyone to deny that we have, in a relatively short amount of time, improved the sports and financial success of every club in which we have invested.
