Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, maintains that neither he nor the players will be affected immediately by 777 Partners’ purchase of the team.
On Friday, the Miami-based investment company finished acquiring Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% stake in the team.
Other than the news, neither I nor the players are affected, according to Dyche. As the manager, I was aware that perhaps something was going on.
I’m aware that the Premier League and other organizations are conducting continuing checks, so that will take some time.
“The noise has been there for a long time, I think people have got used to it. It’s not that big a deal to myself or the players.
They may be accustomed to it. There has undoubtedly been commotion about everything since I arrived.
Since I’ve been here, I haven’t given many press conferences that were solely focused on football.
The fact that we are preparing for the game against Arsenal [on Sunday] is unaffected. Whatever is happening at the club’s top has no impact on that.
Moshiri acknowledged the acquisition and stated: I have been forthright about the need to bring in fresh investment and finish the financing for our iconic new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, on the banks of the Mersey, which I have financed mostly to date.
I’ve talked to a lot of people and thought about some very great possible prospects.
However, it is because of our extensive conversations that I think 777 is the greatest partner to advance our excellent club, thanks to all the advantages of their multi-club investment strategy.
Thanks to this deal, we have a seasoned and well-connected investor in football clubs who will help us maximize the commercial prospects, and we have secured the full financing for our new stadium, which will be the key to Everton’s future success.
Today marks a crucial turning point in Everton’s great development, and I look forward to closely monitoring as our club continues to grow.
The new owners of Everton have previously made investments in a number of soccer organizations around the world, notably Hertha Berlin in Germany, Standard Liege in Belgium, and Vasco de Gama in Brazil.
The American company also owns a stake in LaLiga powerhouse Sevilla, but has encountered opposition from supporters of the teams they are connected to, most recently Liege.
Josh Wander, the founder of 777 Partners, spoke on the new era for the Toffees in the following way: “We are genuinely humbled by the opportunity to become part of the Everton family as custodians of the club, and consider it a privilege to be able to build on its proud heritage and principles.
Our main goal is to collaborate with stakeholders and fans to build a sporting and financial foundation for the men’s and women’s teams that will benefit present and future Everton fans.
The deal will close in the fourth quarter of 2023, according to Everton, but only after receiving regulatory permission from the Premier League, the Football Association, and the Financial Conduct Authority.
In an open letter to his fellow shareholders, Moshiri also explains why he approved the transaction.
