    IF this is an accurate bit of Journalism, then Everton are have huge problems, unless a 'Sugar Daddy' can be found.

    But the money that was advanced by 777 was said to be LOANS.
    IF they, 777, are in trouble, THEIR Liquidator is going to be chasing for repayment.
    I don't know enough about their Squad to estimate how much they could raise, in a 'fire sale'.

    They're well behind 'rescue by fire sale' imo.

    The stadium looks good but miles from being finished. The £15m from 777 is for monthly running costs so Everton need to find more money to complete the stadium.

    Unless another buyer comes forward they'll continue to struggle imo.

    You're right when you say "Sugar Daddy", I've said for weeks that these will come out smelling of Roses, they'll be state owned before long imo.

    There’s a suggestion that City have proven their innocence on all 115 charges against them. The PL and FA are now trying to work out how to break the news to the world without looking silly. <doh>
    Probably bollocks.

    If the PL allow this takeover their last few shreds of credibility go down the pan.

    The potential buyers are an absolute shambles and don't seem to have any money of their own. And if I was an investor I'd be seriously concerned about my money being pumped into a PL football club in turmoil.

    "Last Friday, 777 Partners and co-owner Josh Wander were accused of a "fraudulent scheme" by a lender in a civil court filing in New York.

    Earlier in the week, an airline it owns entered voluntary administration, leaving thousands of passengers stranded around Australia.

    BBC Sport understands 777-owned club Standard Liege's players have not been paid for April and claim they will not receive payment until the end of the season.

    Standard Liege's game against Westerlo in the Belgian league on Friday was postponed after protesting fans blocked the team bus from entering the stadium."

    I think Dyche has done a good job this season. Only Sheffield United have scored less goals but they haven’t conceded many (only City, Arsenal and Liverpool with fewer). Without the points deduction they’d be sat in 12th, level on points with Brighton and Bournemouth.

    No doubt another huge summer coming up for the club and their last year at Goodison next season - they’ll want it to be a good one.

    The length of time the PL are taking to ratify this is ridiculous and indefensible.

    An organisation with few actual assets are attempting to use borrowed money to buy Everton while another 'European club and creditor' is seeking to recover 'the club' from them.

    At best the PL will either find 777 are fit & proper or decide they aren't ...

    ... at worst they're preventing a better buyer attempting a takeover and may force the club into administration.

    Was it not rumoured recently that Everton were offered to either a Qatari or Dubai based group?

    There’s a company in Washington that supplies most of the cabling for VAR, so they have accounts with most premier league clubs. Everton’s credit rating is so poor they can’t have any credit and need to pay upfront for everything.

    The club is in a right mess.

    Jordan Pickford wins Everton player of the season award for the 3rd season running <applause>

    Will they have to cash in on him this summer? Chelsea rumoured to be interested.

    Wouldn’t it be strange or rather hilarious if the Saudis pulled out of the TOON and bought Everton.
