Liverpool City Region mayor Steve Rotheram wants answers to a number of pertinent Everton questions around the takeover
Liverpool City Region mayor Steve Rotheram will today meet with representatives from prospective Everton owners 777 Partners to seek clarification on a number of issues.
Miami-based 777 Partners agreed a deal to acquire the entirety of current Everton owner Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% stake in the club earlier this month, with the deal now going through the necessary process of gaining regulatory approval from the Premier League, Football Association and Financial Conduct Authority. That process has been described by sources as being ‘well underway’ and it is anticipated to reach a conclusion within the next 12 weeks.
Speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside, Mr Rotheram said: “We want to know when the stadium will be finished and whether it will be on schedule for the season after next. Mr Rotheram also said that he would be pressing 777 Partners, who already hold majority positions in clubs such as Genoa, Standard Liege, Vasco da Gama, Hertha Berlin, Red Star Paris and Melbourne Victory, about what their true intentions were for the Toffees and if they had the best interests of the club at heart.
