Despite all the good that Everton have done this season on the pitch, to put themselves in a position of safety already despite the deduction turmoil, it is still negative news which dominates the headlines for this club.

After all, merely avoiding the drop is hardly worth celebrating for the Toffees, and there are far deeper and darker potential outcomes for the club that are still lurking.

With administration a threat consistently touted, and 777 Partners only reinforcing such an eventuality as they continue to pump debt into the club, fans are rightly worried.

Even with a rival group reportedly ready to make a ‘rescue move’, it would have to be dramatic and sizeable to pull Everton out of their financial hole.

With that in mind, Alan Myers has at least sought to offer an update to fans.

Alan Myers predicts 777 Partners takeover

The Sky Sports reporter has been one of the most reliable journalists reporting on the Toffees for many years now, whether it be transfers or takeover updates, or even more menial things like changes of staff and infrastructure alterations.

He has covered it all, and as such has built up a bank of reliable sources who clearly feed him information on key facets of the club.

His knowledge of 777 Partners still seems quite murky, as is everyone’s, given how unpredictable the Premier League have been throughout this campaign.

It is impossible to know whether they will ratify this proposed takeover or not, with it set to have great repercussions regardless of their decision given how long they have let it drag on for now.

However, he has at least taken a stab at when we might hear an outcome, as he sought to alleviate one fan’s stresses when questioned about MSP’s potential takeover situation: ‘I’m not sure what happens in that scenario tbh, I don’t think it will be long before we know though, hopefully’.

The Premier League have ruined Everton this season

Aside from the obvious eight-point deduction, accrued across two separate sanctions to make top-flight history as the only side ever to be handed two deductions in one campaign, the Premier League have still ruined Everton this term.

After all, their acceptance with 777 Partners has been shambolic, and needs some serious questioning after the time they have had to mud over a decision.

Having struck a deal with Farhad Moshiri back in September, the Miami-based investment firm seemed nailed on to waltz into power.

Had it happened back then, or even before Christmas, there would have been few complaints.

But given we are now eight months on, surely this is an organisation without the necessary assets to pass the fit and proper owners test?

By stringing them along and allowing them to pump untold loans into Goodison Park regardless, they have hamstrung them both on and off the pitch. They have serious blood on their hands with how Everton have been treated all season.
