Journalist Alan Myers says that Everton are evaluating an offer from US investors MSP Sports Capital to potentially become a minority shareholder at the club.
The Lowdown: Investment talks
It has been reported that Everton are in talks to bring some more investment into the club, with owner Farhad Moshiri open to bringing in a minority partner.
One investor Moshiri has allegedly been talking to is MSP, who want a 25% stake in the club, with the total investment adding up to £105m.
The Latest: Everton evaluating offer
Taking to Twitter, Myers says that the Goodison Park outfit are currently evaluating an offer from MSP, and are continuing talks with the US investors over becoming a potential minority shareholder:
“Everton are continuing discussions with US investors MSP Sports Capital with regards to them taking a minority shareholding in the club.
“The club is evaluating the offer from MSP along with other potential options.”
The Verdict: Ownership shake-up needed
The Merseysiders have been in need of a shake-up at board level, with protests from supporters against the ownership apparent before their 1-0 win at home to Arsenal in the Premier League last weekend.
They are stuck in a relegation battle for the second season in a row, and are still in real danger of going down despite their latest victory.
Investment from MSP would not only help the club financially, but would also lend another voice when the board have to make difficult decisions in the future.
Nonetheless, supporters will be hoping that the club can strike an agreement with the investors, and hopefully see the Blues move forward in the right direction.
