After learning that the regulatory procedure to let the US investment business to take over at Goodison Park is well under way, the Sky Sports journalist tweeted on Wednesday, September 20, that it is something the Toffees have lacked for many years.
The days of the “people’s club” in football are over, he continued, therefore the Blues need a serious commercial strategy instead of ownership based on sentiment or fandom.
I believe 777 will bring the club a genuine business sense, something I don’t believe we’ve seen in a long time. added Myers
“In my opinion, the club needs a serious business strategy, not fan or sentiment ownership, as nice as that is. The days of the ‘people’s club’ have gone in football now.
Direction needed
It’s pretty clear that Everton are in need of direction after Farhad Moshiri has struggled to keep the finances in check and performances on the field haven’t been much better.
There are major question marks around 777 Partners, as it’s so far unclear about what finances the group has available and how it will look to take the club forward.
But Myers seems pretty confident that it could be the right fit for the Toffees, with the journalist believing the company will bring more business sense than the current owner.
To complete the takeover at Goodison Park, the firm will need to pass the requisite Premier League checks, although that process is already underway.
There had been speculation that a prospective deal may take months to complete, but the Blues urgently need more clarity to go forward and get things moving in the right manner.
