The FAB posted the responses on
Twitter (29 March) received after writing to both earlier in the week, but explained the lack of a reply from the
Premier League was down to technical issues hindering the original letter being sent. The Premier League has still yet to rule on 777 Partners’ proposed takeover a full 28 weeks after a deal was agreed with Moshiri, and have been in opposition to the club on two profit and sustainability charges resulting in one points deduction . The FAB wrote: “We have received responses to 2 of the 3 letters we sent on Monday. Our letter to the PL was delayed due to technical issues on our side. “The PL has committed to replying next week. We will comment on all 3 responses more fully once we have received and digested them all.” In light of the chaos that the club has been repeatedly thrown into with regards to spending breaches this season the level of trust in Richard Masters and his office . On this occasion clearly there is no fault on their end for not replying in line with Moshiri and Wander, although it is the content of the response rather than the timing which will be more important. Similarly, the recent development which saw a letter from the league emerge “minded” to grant conditional approval for the takeover seemingly . Neither the
American firm nor Moshiri have provided any specific insight as to how the conditions will be met this long after the agreement was originally announced, or anything in terms of contingency plans should approval not be granted. We have received responses to 2 of the 3 letters we sent on Monday. Our letter to the PL was delayed due to technical issues on our side. The PL has committed to replying next week. We will comment on all 3 responses more fully once we have received and digested them all. Clearly Everton need answers though since continuing in perpetuity with the current majority shareholder having ended his funding of the club despite still being in charge, and the without knowing if they will complete the process, is simply not sustainable. But whether the league authorities will provide any more actual clarity in their letter than Wander or Moshiri have is still perhaps in doubt as the FAB awaits the final response of three.
