I think the easy part may be agreeing a deal with Moshiri on his shareholding and the (large) amount of debt owing to him (and maybe 'cough' Usmanov).

But past that there is circa £200m debt due to 777, circa £200m debt due to Rights and Media Funding both due to be repaid by Everton and I think a similar amount due on the partly built stadium which is ring fenced and secured on the stadium itself.

Tidying up that could take a little time, particularly since 777 is now controlled by administrators/liquidators who will probably be wanting the whole lot repaid whereas any buyer would expect a partial write down of te debt.

And there's probably a lot of unsecured debt owed to trade suppliers and transfer debt due to other football clubs.

So we'll have to see how this all unfolds.

Yeah - I think they would probably have been better off going into administration with the current owners and then having someone like this come in with the debts cleared.

That might have meant certain relegation this season, but that might happen anyway.
 
Possibly the best that was on offer, but they remain fucked for years and even then, seeing what has happened at Roma - these lot aren’t that great.

Probably good enough to turn them into Crystal Palace of the north though

Thanks!

I'm pleased I chose a team so many years ago whose supporters I can understand!
 
Article from July when Friedkin had been expected to complete the takeover but deal collapsed at end July, before being resurrected recently. It was written by a financially astute Everton fan, and I doubt if things have changed too much since then.

This article plus todays news would suggest Friedkin has already got to grips with dealing with most of the debt that Everton group have got, probably getting to at least a 'Heads of Agreement;' stage and probably less to do now to get to a completed agreement on debt, than I first thought.

An update on Everton’s finances – who owns what, who owes what, how is it secured & possible structure of Friedkin deal??

As described on multiple occasions, particularly on these pages, Everton’s finances particularly during the Moshiri years have become increasingly complex. Multiple additional lenders, the ne…

Seriously, this "report" is fucking embarrassing from Sky, it's fucking woeful content. I've had the misfortune to meet Micheal Bridge in person, thick as pig shit and a total narcissist. He can barely complete a sentence without repeating the same thing 3 times within it. But what's he actually reporting on here? That Dyce sitting in the relegation zone on 1pt "is going to guarantee Everton to stay up"? That they are building a new Stadium? "Like at Tottenham Hotspur New stadium, naming rights will be really lucrative" (twat!).

The Naming rights being lucrative jumped out - not anymore Michael, we don’t seem to be able to give ours away.

Southampton will be relegated, I am completely confident of that, they are the worst side in the league. After that it is Everton, Leicester and Ipswich - only 1 can survive. Leicester look marginally better than I expected and Ipswich have plenty of fight. However, Everton are like a horror movie boogeyman, they never die and get the odd bonkers win which keeps them up. However, it would be “Everton that” to get relegated the season their new stadium is finished and their finances put back on track.

Their other major problem is FFP/PSR - that’s going to take years to get right given the state they are in
