777 Partners have revealed their plans for Everton after agreeing a takeover.
The Miami-based organisation struck a deal for majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri’s entire 94.1% stakeholding, subject to various regulatory approval.
777 already have ownership stakes in several clubs across the globe including Europa League holders Sevilla, Melbourne Victory, Genoa and Vasco da Gama.
Josh Wander, the group’s co-founder and managing partner, signalled his intentions to Blues fans following Friday morning’s official announcement.
He said: “We are truly humbled by the opportunity to become part of the Everton family as custodians of the club, and consider it a privilege to be able to build on its proud heritage and values.
“Our primary objective is to work with fans and stakeholders to develop the sporting and commercial infrastructure for the men’s and women’s teams that will deliver results for future generations of Everton supporters.
“As part of this, we are committed to partnering with the local community over the long-term, working on important projects such as the development of Bramley-Moore Dock as a world class stadium venue, allowing thousands more Evertonians to attend our home matches and contribute to the economic and cultural regeneration of Merseyside.”
