Everton reporter notebook: 777 Partners co-founder Josh Wander out to  convince sceptics as takeover looms | Football News | Sky SportsJosh Wander still doesn’t know when the meeting he is due to have with the Premier League regarding the Everton takeover is going to happen, according to The Times.

Martin Ziegler reported via the paper’s website on 1 March that the frustrated co-founder of 777 Partners thinks the reason the league authorities’ delay in making a decision on the bid is due to the multiple profit and sustainability referrals the club have been subject to.

Paul Joyce reported on 28 February that an agreement have been reached between the Toffees’ new prospective owners and Richard Masters’ office to hold face-to-face talks about the situation.

But it now appears that accord is at least incomplete as there is apparently no timeframe involved at this stage.Everton reporter notebook: 777 Partners co-founder Josh Wander out to  convince sceptics as takeover looms | Football News | Sky Sports

Everton had their previous 10-point deduction reduced to six on appeal on 26 February, but have a second hearing on the cards in the coming weeks with another potential sanction due.

Since the American company are reportedly unmoved by the first points deduction, or indeed the possibility of a second, there seems no obvious reason why the takeover would need to wait for both to be settled.
