Everton’s ownership situation has been chaotic for over a year.
Initially, 777 Partners made an offer to purchase the club from Farhad Moshiri, which had negative consequences.
Subsequently, Dan Friedkin expressed interest in acquiring the team, but ultimately decided against getting involved in Everton’s financial troubles.
Now, a new potential buyer has emerged. John Textor, who co-owns Crystal Palace, is preparing to submit a bid for Everton.
According to journalist Alan Nixon, Textor has found new partners and is eager to gain control of a Premier League club after becoming dissatisfied with his role at Crystal Palace.
Textor has reportedly reached out to key figures at Everton recently to discuss a potential deal.
He’s familiar with the club’s debt situation from a previous bid and is willing to address the ownership challenges.
Textor has also been in contact with the Premier League regarding his eligibility to own another club while still involved with Crystal Palace, and there’s optimism that this issue can be resolved.
This development represents a potentially significant step for Everton, as the club’s financial difficulties have deterred other potential buyers.
Textor’s willingness to tackle the club’s issues head-on could be what Everton needs to move forward.
Having previously expressed interest in the club, Textor now has the opportunity to back up his words with action and potentially lead Everton into a new era.
