Paul Gregg has delivered a blunt message to Farhad Moshiri over 777 Partners’ takeover bid while offering a hint over a big name for a potential concert at the club’s new stadium

Former Everton co-owner Paul Gregg has delivered a blunt message to current majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri over 777 Partners ’ faltering takeover bid while offering a cryptic hint over a big name for a potential concert at the club’s new stadium next summer.

“I think actually if Moshiri held his breath and changed his management views on the club then I think maybe the club could move forward, even in an interim basis. I think he’s got to say goodbye to 777. Gregg said: “Maybe it’s not very fair to talk about Bill because he’s passed away but the point is, when you look at the club, what’s changed in 20 years? There are still the same problems from when we bought the bloody club!

The Scarborough-born businessman added: “Maybe people won’t agree with me but I think the current owner has had a tough time. He did a deal in what he thought were the best interests of the club, he committed to build a stadium which is a £700million project, in a way he must be as sick as every Evertonian in that they haven’t delivered the money, they’ve let him down, he’s let the fans down and he’s let himself down and I’m sure he feels really fed up.

Although Everton’s first team aren’t due to play their first competitive game at their new stadium until the start of the 2025/26 season, construction on the site by the banks of the Mersey is scheduled to be complete by the end of the calendar year and Gregg reckons the venue could start to be a potential money-maker before the football starts.

“I think the other good news is the space outside the stadium. The concourse can accommodate 25,000 people for a concert so you could also use that for concerts next summer or put Christmas events there, you could run that whole space outside the stadium.”
