Everton had previously announced that 777 Partners had signed an agreement with Farhad Moshiri to acquire his full stake in a deal worth a reported £550m.
And, quite some months later, there have been no real major updates as the Premier League continue to run through their tests and fire questions at the potential new owners.
Football FanCast brings you a fact file that delves into the details of Everton's potential new owners.
Latest Everton takeover news
Well, the reports coming out just recently stated that 777 Partners are set to meet with the Premier League to discuss the takeover of Everton, as they await approval for the process to be ratified.
Indeed, this meeting comes a fortnight after the league, as part of its owners’ and directors’ test, asked 777 Partners to submit further information about the company’s source of funding and its ability to fund the club over a three-year period.
Who are 777 Partners?
Prior to the news surrounding the proposed takeover of Everton, many fans, particularly in this country, wouldn't have heard of 777 Partners.
They are a private investment company based in Miami, USA founded in 2015. The business focuses on seven core industries: insurance, aviation, sports, media & entertainment, fintech, litigation finance, private credit, and sustainability.
In their own words: "777 Partners is an alternative investment platform that helps bold entrepreneurs transform visions into enduring value."
777 Partners owns a portfolio of football clubs around the world.
Football clubs owned by 777 Partners
777 Partners have an evergrowing portfolio of football clubs. In 2018, they began their journey into the football ownership sphere and identified La Liga giants Sevilla as a potential opportunity. The investment firm acquired a minority share of the Spanish club, which rose to 15% in 2022.
The Athletic reported in 2021 that they had a view of taking full control, though, with the imminent takeover of Everton, it remains to be seen whether that ambition has altered.
Five years after their first venture into the industry, 777 Partners now own Genoa, Hertha Berlin, Standard Liège and Vasco da Gama.
Standard Liège fans held a protest against the owners in their fixture against RWD Molenbeek earlier this season. The historic Belgian club currently sit 11th in the Pro League, just three points clear of relegation play-off danger at the time of writing.
The transaction of the Toffees remains subject to approval from the Premier League, FA and the Financial Conduct Authority.

777 Partners was co-founded in 2015 by Josh Wander and Steven Pasko. They both have the job title of 'Managing Partner' and are expected to be the main faces of the proposed Everton takeover. The business has 310 employees.
777 Partners controversy
Co-founder Josh Wander is described as a colourful character by the Daily Mail, which ran a report back in September detailing the controversial past of the entrepreneur.
Using information from Josimar magazine, they noted that Wander had been arrested three times between 2003 and 2018, although only one of these resulted in a charge. He also has a history of court hearings into unpaid debts.
Wander made his fortune in the controversial industry of structured settlements, which usually "involve victims of personal injury being offered a lump sum in cash upfront in return for their regular insurance payments".
777 Partners have amassed much of their wealth through pay-day loans and investments in budget airlines, though those endeavours have attracted a series of lawsuits in the United States involving allegations of fraud and racketeering. Many remain ongoing, but Wander himself hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing. Further, many of their clubs posted losses in recent accounts.
So with such news emerging, it has brought a great deal of negativity amongst Toffees fans at the proposed takeover.
