After a new takeover update said that 777 Partners’ loan to the club had increased to £40 million, Kieran Maguire made fun of Everton.
Taking to X (18 October), Maguire made a suggestion that 777 should actually be “666” in an attempt to undermine the untrustworthy prospective new owners of the Toffees.
The news of the loan increase was first reported by The Times on October 18, raising more concerns about 777‘s acquisition of Everton.
Sounds more like 666 partners than 777, wrote Maguire.
More anxiety
Doubts regarding 777‘s skills mount with each passing week since the club announced that they and Farhad Moshiri had agreed to become the majority owners.
The loan has doubled from the original £20 million, according to a story in The Times. However, the additional funds are intended to pay players’ salaries that Everton is unable to pay.
According to the New York Times (18 October), 777 might face “severe consequences” if it fails to provide the Financial Conduct Authority with the necessary paperwork before the takeover can proceed.
Insiders at the club and 777, however, assert that everything is proceeding as planned and that they have filed the necessary documentation.
What does this mean for Everton supporters? Not good at all. This season’s concerns on the field have already been severe enough, and the impending Merseyside derby could worsen the atmosphere.
Many people have doubted 777‘s financial history. In addition, they made late payments to the British Basketball League last month, which is another proof of their poor financial planning. The British Basketball League is still in danger of falling into administration.
Although Maguire’s ridicule seems appropriate, it’s possible that the Goodison Park supporters are too anxious to laugh.
