Everton will likely require further loans from potential owners 777 Partners to stave off the threat of administration, despite receiving \u00a320million last week.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the takeover deal believe the loan won\u2019t be enough to cover the club\u2019s losses to the end of the year.<\/p>\n
Everton\u2019s financial situation, mainly brought about by rising construction costs for their Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, means further funds will be required.<\/p>\n

Everton were contacted for comment. They are believed to be confident that working capital and stadium finance can be funded on an ongoing basis until a change in ownership.<\/p>\n
There is also a \u00a3200m shortfall on the cost of the stadium construction. Interest payments on the debt is understood to be approximately \u00a330m a year.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year Everton returned a loss for the fifth successive year, the \u00a344.7m deficit for 2020-21 taking their cumulative losses to more than \u00a3430m over the period.<\/p>\n
The Premier League, Football Association and the Financial Conduct Authority are considering 777 Partners\u2019 bid and paperwork has already gone to the regulators.<\/p>\n
But a decision is not likely until the new year and until then, Everton will require millions to cover short-term working capital requirements and the stadium build.<\/p>\n
Mail Sport<\/span> has discovered that 777 Partners had factored the \u00a320m loan into their bid. Sources close to the deal wouldn\u2019t speculate how long co-founders Josh Wander and Steve Pasko were prepared to fund the club, in the event a decision by the regulators was delayed.<\/p>\n Everton were contacted for comment.
