A number of Premier League owners are set to voice concerns about Everton’s proposed sale to 777Partners at the clubs’ first summit meeting of the season tomorrow. The issue is expected to be discussed informally at the gathering of top-flight owners and executives in London, although it does not feature on the official agenda.
The other clubs’ worries are understood to centre on uncertainty over the source of 777’s funding for the £500m deal and the danger of potential reputational damage to the Premier League given the company are involved in fighting several court cases in the United States.
