Takeover

[Pragmatist]

A new owner could still advance funds before the sale is confirmed.
777 have already pumped £140m+ into Everton.
A small deposit into the club's current account would be a great sign.

That’s horribly complex.  Would it be debt or equity?  If it’s debt then it’s adding to liabilities and that’s very dangerous if the deal doesn’t go through.  It can’t obviously be equity as that would potentially  require EFL approval and in any event would complicate a sale. 

As another poster had said, Everton got in trouble for that.
