Only time will tell with 777 Partners but Everton will be better off without Farhad Moshiri making decisions

Again, the timing of everything at this football club seems to be way off.

While Kevin Thelwell had to scrounge around all summer to get deals over the line because of financial restraints, our current owner said he didn't want to sell the football club, and that he was only looking for investment. But did anyone believe that? I certainly didn't. Everything he has said the opposite has happened.

It is no big shock to me that now he has decided to sell up his 94-point-whatever percent shares in Everton, but the timing is totally off and when you find out who he has agreed to sell our beloved football club to, it doesn't sit right.

What do you do as football fans? You look into it and see what they're about, and going off Google and seeing the other clubs 777 have investment in, there is not a lot of good news at this moment in time.

As a player you love that as you can see a bit of ambition.

The only issue we've got is the timing of the situation. The season has already started and it could be a long time before it
