Triple Seven partners co-founder Josh Wonder has responded to claims made from the publication Jocema, which said that the Miami-based investment firm have a $3.6 billion debt. Josh Wonder responded via his LinkedIn. He said, amazing, were they hanging from a chandelier when they took that photo of me? The numbers are wildly inaccurate and out of context, and like all of their material, liable-less and specifically targeted to derail our transaction. One might ask them who is funding these articles. If they were a true fan of the club, would they not at least be an ounce of gratitude for keeping the club afloat for the last five months, despite being hit with multiple PSR violations? Surely an investor that wasn't wholly committed to the club's future sustainability and success would have run? Anyway, thanks for my daily dose of comic relief, here's looking forward to a future marked by on and off the pitch success. Josh, there you go. There you go. That's his response. He did say last week he was asked about evidence and asked to speak on it. He did say there's not really anything he can say regarding specifics, but if they are approved, he will be happy to talk, and he certainly sounds bullish there about the takeover. It has been reported that, sorry, 777 are meeting the Premier League this week for face-to-face talks, and to get that tied up, it seems like that is the next bit of it, and then if they agree to them taking over it, then has to go and get the final check. But that final check, it must be stressed, doesn't mean that the final check can say yes or no. It's basically just a proof. If the Premier League approve it, it's done. They're just basically making sure everything's tied up, and that typically takes about a week, I think. So maybe by the end of next week, we'll have a clearer picture. Maybe by this week, if the Premier League say no or reject it, we'll know, won't we? But I think we just, the football club needs a decision, and I imagine it's going to have one very shortly. So there you go. Everton are reportedly monitoring the situation of Hull City centre half Jacob Greaves. Obviously, there's been lots of speculation about Jared Brantwight, but Everton are looking at young centre backs. He's 23 years of age. He started 34 games for Hull City this season, and has two goals. He's also made over 213 appearances. Everton also linked recently with Daniel Ballard and Sunderland, so it does appear that Everton are looking for a succession planning on their centre backs. And to be honest, I know some people are reading to this and say, that's definitely Brantwight going then, but I'm looking at it like that because I look at it with Everton's centre backs and see that we have Michael Keane, who's 30, who Everton, I think, may well want to move on this summer. We've also got Ben Godfrey, who plays more as a fullback than Sean Dyche plays him as a centre back. So Everton were to, you know, a Mason Holgate, who's obviously on loan at the moment at Sheffield United, and Everton are looking to get rid of him as well. So Everton could well be looking to get two or three of those centre backs out the club and then bring in someone like Greaves, who can come in and, what you'd like to think of is, he'd come in and bed in, and if he truly is going to be Jared Brantwight's replacement, if you like, he'd keep Brantwight for another season, let him develop, and then let Greaves get used to his surroundings. Certainly, that's what, that's what good planning looks like. We'll have to wait and see. Everton probably will be selling one of either Brantwight's or O'n Narnor this summer. The smart money is on Amadur O'n Narnor. We'll see where we are, but Everton have been linked with Greaves. He is, he's over six foot, he's a left footed centre back as well and he's good on the ball. So you know, looks good. Certainly looks good. Learoy Rossini has been very, not Learoy, Learoy Rossini has been very complementary about his development. So he is the manager of course, so we'll see where that one goes. So yeah, could be a watch this space certainly for him. And just on Amadur O'n Narnor, there's a report come out of Spain today that he was evidence priced for him, what they want for him, would be too costly for Barcelona, who had been monitored and so it looks as though they're not going to be able to compete for Amadur O'n Narnor this summer. And finally, Everton midfield at Delhi has returned to Finchfarm to continue his rehabilitation after having groin surgery at the back end of 2023. Delhi has spent recent time recovering and doing his own fitness work in London, but he has now returned to Everton's training complex to complete his full return to fitness and Everton. Sean Dyche has been asked about it a couple of times. There's all, there was more stories I think over the weekend saying Everton are renegotiating or trying to renegotiate with Spares. I don't know how accurate that is. We know that Delhi can play six more times for Everton before it would trigger a automatic payment for Spares and it's reported to be £10 million, clearly Everton won't be paying that the way it is. So listen what the future holds for Delhi we don't know but he's got to get himself fit and hopefully he can get himself fit and play a part in the final five or six games of the season maybe and give Everton something different. Maybe a couple of goals would be nice. And finally, Everton's under 18s have beaten Blackburn Rovers away today. The game kicked off at one o'clock at Blackburn's training ground, Brockhill I think it's called or Brockhill. Everton won 2-0 with a brace from Kobe a bear. They drew 1-1 with Wolves at the weekend and a bear was a gain on the score sheet. He's now struck eight times in his last seven games. The young toffees now sit 10th in the Premier League under 18s around 17.17 games. The next game is this Saturday away at Leeds United there and that game kicks off at 12 o'clock.
