Not for Premier League to choose Everton owner, says top-flight chief

Miami-based 777 Partners agreed to buy Moshiri's 94 percent stake in the Toffees back in September but have so far failed to satisfy the Premier League's owners and directors' test, reportedly due to providing proof of funds. Premier League chief executive Richard Masters was appearing in front of a parliamentary committee on new football governance legislation on Tuesday and asked why 777's takeover had not yet been rejected by the league. “The Premier League’s role in this, as regulator, is to perform the test," said Masters.
