As we’ve suspected and speculated on here.
Now I'm not saying this will happen but the following wouldn't surprise me.....
1. 777 can't complete on the deal either because they fail the fit and proper owner test due to the ongoing fraud investigation or are unable to come up with the funds or MSP or other lenders object to 777 under the probable change of ownership provision within the loan agreements.
2. Moshiri can't / won't fund the stadium and day to day finances.
3. No other acceptable buyer comes forward.
4. Everton go into administration with a points deduction and relaxation is guaranteed.
5. In those circumstances Everton become a very attractive investment opportunity for someone with ready cash to acquire relatively cheaply albeit they will have to finish the stadium and rebuild the team from the championship.
Genuinely if 777 fails I see no alternative scenario.

Are you sure about this bit? Lol
Wouldn’t it be great if we could go just 1 day without being kicked in the bollocks
Just seems like a constant kick in the teeth. Whether it’s performances, stadium, takeover, money, ffp, it’s like the media are completely against us now. Everyone in this league wants us to go, the league itself, the media, other teams, I would even argue some of our own players are probably thinking ‘if they go down at least I get a move’. It’s becoming too stressful to even support the club anymore.

The Premier League can not afford a club to go into administration, it will be seen globally as "Premier league bubble burst", it will have a domino effect, even the other clubs (especially the big ones) will also hate the idea.
The premier league and the authorities have to make a choice, the lesser of two evel type of choice, what is worst for them? Allowing 777 to take control or refusing it which means the current owner/situation remains the same? How can they allow the situation remains the same if we can't even pay the bills?
I won't be surprised at all if a rapid approval is issued, no one can afford the Moshiri circus any longer

I agree. With the utmost tragedy it seems to me that likely relegation is the price of a reset, at least financially.
It should not be like that, and by no means do I want to see us drop, but that seems the most likely scenario as I see it.
Freudian slip of the day award right here. I'm completely relaxed to be honest.
Moshiri and Kenwright should be getting absolutely battered in the media.
They should be betting the kind of treatment Hicks and Gillet received over the park.
But they won’t, because nobody cares about Everton.
