Speaking on the Transfer Window Podcast, Duncan Castles has named Everton as a potential alternative club for LAMF to takeover after their bid to buy Tottenham was rebuffed.
The Los Angeles based investors are in the market for a football club, and unfortunately for the Americans, it seems as though they won’t be getting their hands on Spurs.
However, that hasn’t deterred them from trying to enter the market, and while their £3bn offer to purchase Tottenham was knocked back, they do have alternatives lined up.
One of these potential alternatives is reportedly Everton.
What’s been said?
Castles shared what he knows about LAMF’s plans.
“The question is, what happens next with that pool of money that LAMF have pooled together and that they feel they can add to? There is a time limit in terms of when they have to make an acquisition. They have to buy something by a certain point of time or else that money will be returned to investors. They’re looking at other football clubs. They’re looking in the Premier League, although it is hard to see another big six club that it’s possible for them to buy. There are alternative options such as Everton, who are not as attractive a proposition as Tottenham and they come with a number of problems, then they could look outside of English football at a club such as Milan,” Castles said.
Best time to buy
From a purely business perspective, this is the best time to buy Everton.
The Toffees are just about to move into a brand new state of the art stadium, and while they’re struggling on the pitch, the infrastructure is there to become a very competitive club.
Everton have been a superpower in England before, and perhaps under new owners, they can be again.
