The New York-based investment group had signed an exclusivity agreement with theside in May and the plan was to invest up to £150million in convertible debt that would become a stake of approximately 25 per cent in the 145-year-old club. In a complicated deal, £100million of that investment was earmarked for Everton Stadium Development Company, the subsidiary club owner Farhad Moshiri set up in 2017 to oversee the construction of Everton’s new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock.
, this changed everything for Moshiri and Everton. Within weeks of the invasion, Moshiri’s business partner Alisher Usmanov was added to the United Kingdom’s list of sanctioned individuals, which meant the club had to cancel several lucrative sponsorships with Usmanov-linked companies.The Uzbek-born oligarch was also going to provide a company that would take on the naming rights for Everton’s new home at Bromley-Moore Dock. Not anymore.
Having looked at times like it was going 777’s way, MSP emerged as the preferred option and an exclusivity agreement was signed that appeared to answer Everton and Moshiri’s most pressing needs: funding for Bramley-Moore, some cash for the club and new blood for the board. Those seats were expected to go to the investment fund’s co-founders, Jeff Moorad and Jahm Najafi. The former is a hugely experienced sports agent in the United States and the latter is a successful investor in the sports, media, property and technology sectors.
