A single of the fascinated get-togethers is thought to be financial investment agency MSP Sports Money, which has lent the club funds to fund the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium and considered investing in Everton last yr, before talks collapsed without the need of a deal.
MSP, headed by previous agent and baseball franchise owner Jeff Moorad, has investments including a stake in the McLaren Formula A person workforce, and European soccer clubs Brondby in Denmark, Augsburg of Germany and Estoril in Portugal.
Two Merseyside businessmen, Andy Bell and George Downing, are also thought to be all set to get a stake in the club by waiving the thousands and thousands owed to them in financial loans.
