Everton are easily a big enough name to attract a rescue buyer, but it will likely come to that. The PL getting their act together now though puts them in a tricky situation as they basically need owner cash injection to stay afloat and the owner has decided to say [Poor language removed] it, I'm out of here and left it to the potential new owners to keep the ship running.
Go to companies house and download Everton's year end accounts since Moshiri came in though. Its a full on clusterfuck. Everton has posted losses as below:
2022 - 45m
2021 - 121m
2020 - 139m
2019 - 112m
2018 - 13m
Should have had the case sorted two years ago but the PL didn't have the appetite, so working through the backlog. 2023 isn't posted publicly until June, but I hear its around the 75m.
Have a browse through if you want to get a feel for where the monies gone, its all there - if a bit heavy going in places, but you can skip all that - the balance sheet and P&L tell you all you need to know. Of particular note, on page 12 of the Directors report regarding Everton as an ongoing concern - specifically, in a relegation scenario it won't be, which is frankly an appalling admission of gross negligence, as a Directors primary responsibility is to ensure the continued viability of the organisation. They are essentially saying, [Poor language removed] it - we go down, we go bust.
