Two English Tycoons Set to Bid for Everton, Report Claims
English businessmen Bell and George are reportedly among the interested parties ready to purchase Everton from owner Farhad Moshiri, having already submitted a bid. Bell, the founder of investment giant AJ Bell, led the company for two decades before stepping down two years ago. George Downing is the founder of a major construction firm.
Moshiri has been actively seeking to sell the Goodison Park club for the past two years. Initially, US-based consortium 777 Partners was expected to finalize a takeover, but the deal fell through this month. Bell and Downing are now well-positioned to step in, though other potential buyers remain in the mix.
What’s Next for Everton?
Everton aims to finalize a sale soon so the new owners can prepare for the 2024-25 season. The club, which has faced two points deductions for breaching Premier League financial regulations, hopes new ownership will bring financial stability and a brighter future.
