Jamie Carragher claims he ‘FEARS’ for Everton amid takeover confusion with Premier League yet to give green light to potential 777 owners who ‘support the club’

Jamie Carragher has urged Everton to address the ownership situation amid fears over the future of the Merseyside club.

The Toffees were hit by two separate points deductions, but Sean Dyche has brought the club to safety with games left to secure their Premier League status.

However, this took place against a backdrop of turmoil at board level, with the club’s future still uncertain.

Current owner Farhad Moshiri reached a deal with 777Partners last September, but the buyout approval process took longer than expected, leaving fans worried about the deal.

Speaking on Sky Sports during Everton’s trip to Luton, Carragher shared fans’ frustrations and believes the situation needs to be resolved quickly.

It has been a season of drama and off-field struggles for Toffees manager Sean Dyche.

Farhad Moshiri reached an agreement with 777 in September, but the takeover has not yet been finalized.

“It’s been a difficult season if you’re an Everton fan.” Said the former Liverpool defender.

“You have the points deduction, thinking you might get relegated, and as soon as you come out of it, you think again? What will happen now at the end of the season?

“With ownership you have Moshiri, the 777 group who support the club, keep the club going, invest £15 million to £20 million every month to pay salaries and pay stadium costs.

“Everton don’t want them to take over the club, but you actually wonder, where would Everton be right now without them? They’ve invested £200 million, but the club doesn’t even belong to them.

“So if the PL doesn’t overtake them, it doesn’t matter who comes in or if Moshiri stays, they have to pay back, or there are other loans – I think in the next few weeks, once you eliminate football, you will. afraid for Everton and what will happen, because it doesn’t look too rosy.

“I have called them the worst managed club in the country for two or three years.

“I think the Premier League is in a really difficult position. Obviously it shouldn’t take eight months to find new owners, so they obviously don’t think they are fit and proper owners for whatever reason , but they are obviously wondering, if we tell this 777 group, who is actually going to fund Everton right now?

“Something has to happen and it has to happen very quickly. »

777 has already enjoyed success with its multi-club model with Genoa, Hertha Berlin and Red Star Paris and the aim was to include Everton in the fold.

Everton’s potential new owners, 777 Partners, are yet to be approved by the Premier League.

777 people helped fund the club and fund Everton’s new ground.

They have funded and supported the club to the tune of £200 million to date, providing the Toffees with a vital investment in the club and as part of the funds for the new stadium.

But they also faced negative publicity and questions were asked about the ability to fund the club in the future. The Premier League is taking several months to decide whether it passes its fitness and skill test.

In December, the US investment group suffered a major blow after one of its main UK partners, sports marketing company Redstrike, ended a joint venture they had founded only last year.

They have also been accused of missing payments to the British Basketball League, of which they have a 45 percent stake.
