Two potential US buyers are exploring a takeover of Everton, following the virtual collapse of Miami investment company 777’s attempts to buy the club.
One of the interested parties is thought to be investment firm MSP Sports Capital, which has lent the club money to fund the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium and considered investing in Everton last year, before talks collapsed without a deal.
MSP, headed by former agent and baseball franchise owner Jeff Moorad, has investments including a stake in the McLaren Formula One team, and European football clubs Brondby in Denmark, Augsburg of Germany and Estoril in Portugal.
Two Merseyside businessmen, Andy Bell and George Downing, are also thought to be ready to take a stake in the club by waiving the millions owed to them in loans.
