I’m confused at all the snide comments here, Everton have posted over 300m in losses over three years and they’re currently paying wages with a loan from 777 Partners that will have to be repaid if the takeover doesn’t go through, which by all accounts is what is gonna happen considering how sketchy they are. I guess people aren’t aware that there hasn’t been a club this close to bankruptcy in the PL in a long time?

Not really a disaster, it’s a negotiation, it was never going to be settled without haggling over the price.
