What happens if 777 fail in their attempt to get the club? Do we rely on other buyers coming in?

I guess so. Would be nice if FM put his hand in his pocket and tidied up the mess he's made, but that won't happen. I guess the eds will advise us.
{Ed001's Note - he can't though to be fair. His money came from Usmanov, now that is frozen he has no money to tidy up any mess.}

Bloody Putin lol.

According to Forbes he still has 2.4BN USD so he could help out a little. Great life. Buy it, f it, flog it. If he loses £50M it would be like us losing £5. We certainly got a bad draw with him.

But how much of that wealth is accessible Nick? You could argue I’m worth a couple of £100ks but I’d have to sell up everything and live in a van. Who knows where his 2.4 billion is tied up? It certainly doesn’t feel like it is at Everton….

Good point there BR23. However, accounts are good at shifting money about. It certainly should be with us. Beggars belief what he's done.
{Ed001's Note - you do realise that most of that value will actually be the value of Everton mate. Well maybe not most right now, but it must be a huge slice. The rest of his 'money' would be similarly tied up in assets that Usmanov had transferred to him in order to avoid having them frozen. It will not actually be cash.}

Would you know if there are any genuine interested buyers that we could turn to ed001?
{Ed001's Note - there certainly were others but the finances are now so entangled with 777 I am not sure anyone would be still interested.}

It's a bit like one of our politicians over here Ed001. He has a house which would sell for about 25M dollars but is valued at 200M in his reported net worth. Everton are in a financial mess and Moshiri neither has the resources nor the inclination if he did to bail us out, he wants to sell and get as far away from the mess as he can.
{Ed001's Note - let's just hope that someone does bail Everton out soon.}

The problem is: I don’t see anyone coming in to sort out the mess. We don’t have any ‘Sir Ratcliffe’ types buy a stake in us.
Saying that, I do remember a rumour back in the 90s that Paul Macartney was a fan… someone get on the blower to him!
