'Absurdity' - The Esk blasts beyond-belief Moshiri claim at Everton

The Esk has slammed Farhad Moshiri for the “absurdity” of considering A-Cap a serious contender to acquire his majority share in Everton.

In an article shared on 13 June, The Esk reeled off some of the financial controversy surrounding A-Cap amid talks between Moshiri and the company’s chief executive Kenneth King, and its exposure to 777 Partners.

Following 777’s “inevitable” failed bid after months of disapproval from the Premier League as they bankrolled Everton throughout the season, linked company A-Cap’s weight to be considered as a serious bidder for the Toffees has been branded as “absurdity beyond belief” on Moshiri’s part.

Everton fans frustrated by Moshiri’s persistence

It can very well be considered to be stubbornness which is holding back the potential for Everton to be taken over quickly from this point.

Moshiri’s close ties with 777 Partners were a stumbling block in turning attention towards other parties, with the majority owner eventually forced to let an exclusivity deadline with Josh Wander’s legally scuppered US-based firm pass as we entered June.

Now, The Esk’s point is that A-Cap represents a candidacy far too close to 777 given the companies’ links, coming out on social media on Wednesday 12 June to back the bid of Andy Bell and George Downing – calling the duo’s interests “the only credible bid”.

A-Cap were one of the companies named as co-defendants in the Leadenhall case vs 777 Partners, highlighting the clarity of the risks of King’s interest in Everton even further.

The closing statement from The Esk is one which will resonate with many supporters on Merseyside: “Moshiri has to act in the interests of Everton Football Club, its stakeholders, the City of Liverpool and most importantly its employees and fans.

To even entertain or allow King and A-Cap to enter the bidding arena is absurd and a huge insult to the club and Evertonians.”
