Everton supporters are being advised to exercise caution in light of the latest takeover rumors surrounding the club.
Financial expert Dan Plumley has emphasized the need for restraint, noting the delicate nature of the current situation. The Toffees are once again searching for a buyer after the collapse of the Friedkin Group’s attempted takeover, leaving fans and stakeholders in a state of uncertainty.
Reports have surfaced suggesting that former LA Dodgers general manager Kevin Malone might lead a consortium to bid for the club. Additionally, there’s speculation that John Textor, who holds a significant stake in Crystal Palace, remains interested in Everton. However, any bid from Textor would require him to divest his 45% shareholding in Crystal Palace first.
Plumley, in an exclusive conversation with Goodison News, urged fans to remain skeptical of any takeover news until substantial updates are provided. He highlighted the pattern of previous takeover attempts that ultimately fell through, cautioning against premature optimism.
The recent collapse of the Friedkin Group deal, attributed to concerns over the club’s financial dealings with 777 Partners, has reset the club’s search for new ownership, leaving fans anxious and in the dark.
While rumors of renewed interest from other potential buyers circulate, nothing concrete has materialized, raising concerns among the Everton faithful. After years of uncertainty, supporters are desperate for clarity and stability, but with no significant developments, they are left waiting for news that might never come.
The situation remains highly precarious, and Plumley’s advice to approach all takeover talk with caution seems more pertinent than ever.
