Season › 2024-25 › News The Rumour Mill Malone consortium back in Everton takeover picture Lyndon Lloyd | 22/07/2024 7comments | Jump to last An American consortium headed up by the former General Manager of the Montreal Expos and Los Angeles Dodgers baseball teams, Kevin Malone, is once again being talked about in terms of buying Everton. Malone's group were credited with interest in making an offer for Farhad Moshiri's majority stake a few months ago but were not among the bidders when the likes of the Friedkin Group and Vatche Manoukian made approaches last month. Now, after the Dan Friedkin's company withdrew from talks, Alan Myers of Sky Sports is claiming that Malone and his consortium, which "includes US investment firms", will launch a takeover bid "in the coming weeks".

I've never heard of this chap having an interest. Likely bollocks? Paul Hewitt 2 Posted 22/07/2024 at 20:01:16 Mark. You would think anyone interested in buying us now knows what they're getting themselves into. Gavin Johnson 4 Posted 22/07/2024 at 20:25:31 Maybe this lot may be more bullish in getting past the 777 Partners problem if they are a consortium vehicle, rather than a group like Friedkin...It's only my guess but the adverse publicity may not matter so much if it's a consortium of faceless investors fronting the money.

Phil (Kelsall) Roberts 7 Posted 22/07/2024 at 21:10:22 I think Friedkin has paid off Bell and Downing and therefore they are not owed anything. So we now owe The Friedkin Group.We have loans from 777 Partners who have borrowed from A-Cap.We have loans from MSP Sports Capital.We have loans from Moshiri.Anyone else??Who were the ones backed by Dell Computers Financial? Ian Bennett 8 Posted 22/07/2024 at 21:19:19 Phil, it was reported that MSP has also been paid off by The Friedkin Group.The outstanding loans are to Friedkin, Moshiri, 777 Partners. and Rights & Media Funding.Downing, Bell and MSP are cleared.Dell was backing the Bell and Downing buy-out bid, but that looks dead.
