Premier League Club, Everton's hopes of attracting additional funding have been dashed after MSP Sports Capital withdrew from talks, according to emerging reports. The US-based investment group reportedly inked an exclusivity agreement with the Toffees in May.
Farhad Moshiri, the majority owner, has been under growing scrutiny in recent seasons due to the club's lack of success on the pitch.
With Everton on the verge of relegation last season and kicking off the new season without a win or draw, fans have continued to express their dissatisfaction with the club's leadership.
MSP Sports Capital had wanted to invest in the team, but as The Athletic reported, they have already dropped out of talks. They intended to invest £150 million in Everton in the form of convertible debt, equivalent to a 25% share.
According to reports, two-thirds of the funds will go towards the development of their new stadium at the Bramley-Moore Dock, with the remainder going to the club.
MSP Sports Capital's exclusivity time with Everton, on the other hand, is now believed to have ended, with the transaction branded as "dead."
Rights and Media Funding Limited, based in Cheshire, is an existing lender at the Toffees, who increased their credit arrangement with them this year to £200 million.
Four charges on club assets are said to secure such debt, and the firm can demand repayment of the loan before borrowing from the borrower, in this case Everton.
