Everton’s potential ownership situation just got a whole lot messier. Josh Wander, co-founder of the American investment firm 777 Partners, is embroiled in a court battle – but not as a defendant. Here’s how this unexpected twist is unfolding.
The Players Involved:
- Everton Football Club: The historic Premier League club is in talks with 777 Partners for a potential takeover.
- Josh Wander: Co-founder of 777 Partners, he’s a key figure in the proposed deal.
- Nina Agdal: A Danish supermodel and fiancee of YouTuber/boxer Logan Paul.
- Dillon Danis: An MMA fighter with a history of online controversy.
The Legal Fight:
Agdal is suing Danis for allegedly harassing her online by posting a large number of her pictures. The lawsuit seeks $150,000 in damages.
Wander’s Connection:
According to reports, Wander is being subpoenaed by Agdal. This means he’s legally obligated to appear in court and potentially answer questions about the case. The allegation against Wander is that he took and shared a “non-consensual explicit photograph” of Agdal back in 2012. It’s important to note that Wander isn’t being sued himself.
Everton in the Spotlight:
With 777 Partners at the helm of the potential takeover, Wander’s legal troubles cast a shadow over the deal. Everton fans, already anxious about the club’s future, now have an unexpected factor to consider. The Premier League has a strict ownership test, and any off-field issues could potentially derail the takeover.
What’s Next?:
The court case between Agdal and Danis will likely play out over the coming months. Whether Wander’s testimony will be crucial and how it might affect the Everton takeover remain to be seen. Fans will be closely following developments as they wait to see who, if anyone, will be taking the reins at Goodison Park.
