‘And the reason I say it’s not all doom and gloom is this: Everton is a fantastic club with a rich history. Two: They have a devoted fanbase that sticks with them through thick and bad. Three: They are a Premier League club, and they have ensured that they will be in the Premier League next season. Fourth, of course, they have a new stadium that will open soon, and it is now valued at almost £1 billion.
So, from what I gather, Farhad Moshiri has other possibilities. Other investors are waiting to make a move for Everton, but nothing can happen until someone comes out and declares the agreement with 777 is off for good.
There is grounds for rare optimism with Everton.
Even if this season has been dominated by negativity, which threatens to carry over into the summer, Solhekol is correct in his judgement.
After all, despite decades of failure and a lack of trophies, they remain one of England’s largest and most historically significant clubs.
The Toffees’ nine first-division league titles remain joint-fourth in English history with Manchester City (for the time being), and they rank eighth among English clubs in terms of major trophies won.
Not only that, but they are a club with a long history of being the first to do many things in the country, such as build a stadium specifically for football, wear numbers on the back of shirts, host a World Cup semi-final in Britain, and play 100 seasons in the top division.
