The PL will wave it through, you know what they are like. It will be detriment to the bigger picture with everton though, we can see that coming a mile off if they get control of them. A shame for their fans because we’ve seen what a new stadium can do to a club to help them financially. Probably why 777 are so desperate to buy them. But that’s why I find it equally strange there are no other bidders in the running. Something has to be amiss with that.

I fear the PL will want to waive it through.

But it'll cause PL a huge headache if 777/Everton implode in the next year or two - and a Regulator will be really scouring through the wreckage to ascertain how PL overlooked 777 well publicised financial woes.

And the stadium will only start to generate more cash in about 2 years, with cash from increased sponsorships/extra events etc taking a year or so after that to hit bank accounts. So that's a long time to wait

The lack of another bidder is a mystery - unless other bidders have offered less than Moshiri will accept as Everton's well known ffp issues mean the risk Everton drop into Championship is real.

IMO 777 will overpay as they need a top club to give their multi club model credibility to raise other investment.

This article might answer your question on alternative investors.

1 Moshiri seems to have selected 777 as the preferred bidder

2 There's a huge amount of debt - not only £500m to Moshiri but another £500m or so to other parties. Plus another minimum £100m to complete stadium plus £x m to deal with the squad.

Set against the risk of relegation which might mean paying more than say £600m/£700m for a soon to be Championship club would be foolish.

It's a dead ringer of the "old" South Stand from early 1990's!!!
