Parties ready brand new Everton takeover bids - report

Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is not the only party ready to make a takeover bid at Everton, according to iNews.

The online source reported [11 August] that multiple parties are interested in striking a deal with Farhad Moshiri after Dan Friedkin’s takeover attempt collapsed earlier this summer.

While Textor has confirmed his interest at Goodison Park once again [The Mirror on Sunday], it is understood that the Toffees’ current debt makes any potential deal with Textor or other parties very complex.

Everton takeover bids ready at Goodison Park?

Moshiri is not a positive figure among the fans at Goodison Park, and everyone involved in the club will now be desperate for a new owner to come in.

AS Roma owner Dan Friedkin looked set to save the Toffees, though eventually pulled out of a deal due to the size of the debt, which Bryan King exclusively told Goodison News on 7 July.

Textor looks like the next best option for the Merseyside club, especially given his experience with the Eagles at Selhurst Park, making several key changes to boost Palace up the Premier League table.

Despite this, a source has told Goodison News (9 August) that the 58-year-old would need to sell his 45 per cent stake at Selhurst Park before taking over as owner at Everton.

While it could be seen as a positive to see so much interest in taking the club off of Moshiri’s hands, fans will just want a secure option that can save the club they love from further punishments.

It is understood that the Toffees could be handed a third points deduction ahead of the new season after the Premier League alleged a new Profit and Sustainability breach [Matt Hughes].

Fans will be desperate for the club to avoid news like this, which could be helped with new investment from a takeover, but interest from parties has yet to turn into anything concrete as of yet.
