I know how a takeover can impact players - 777 Partners face clear next step to boost Everton dressing room

There has been a lot of noise at Everton and when you get a win you forget about what’s happening upstairs.

I’ve been at clubs that have been taken over before. At Manchester City, the Thailand Prime Minister (Thaksin Shinawatra) took over and we were in a difficult place at that time.

We didn’t know what was going on with the finances but when the owner came in and spoke to the players and the manager, he told us what he wanted and his ambition.

Everton have perfect chance to give fans exactly what they need as huge date looms

It lifts the spirit inside the club, and lifts the players who want to be part of the journey - so fingers crossed 777 Partners have the opportunity to do that.

Next summer there is a big question mark about whether we’re going to be in the league but the question mark for a lot of Evertonians and Sean Dyche is will there be funds?

We need to get our recruitment right, we can’t rely on our academy - which we have done for the last 10 years - to get us out of the mire of ridiculous spending and bad recruitment for the first-team, that needs to stop. We’re selling our crown jewels far too often to get the club out of a poor situation after poor decisions elsewhere.

Hopefully, 777 will have the opportunity to filter through what has gone wrong at the club since Farhad Moshiri came in. We don't know what their objectives are.

There are loads of questions from the fans - of the potential new owners and of the club currently.

Explain the situation - if it’s bad, poor, let us know so we can get behind the players! We’ll get behind the club and we’ll know where we are. Am I confident that it will happen? No, it hasn’t happened before,
