Everton Fan Advisory Board member Paul McMonnies believes there has been many "extremely worrying stories since day one" involving 777 Partners so therefore the situation "is becoming completely untenable."

The supporter group made a statement on Wednesday and requested an emergency meeting with the club to express their concerns and seek clarification. over the Miami-based investment firm's attempts to buy Farhad Moshiri's 94% stake in Everton.

McMonnies told BBC Radio Merseyside the Fan Advisory Board has been trying to get answers for months now.

"It did all lead to this limbo situation - alongside points deductions and everything else going on alongside that," he said. "It means this season for Evertonians has been a season of worry for a number of reasons.

"It seems quite mad that the takeover of the club hasn't been the number one on most people's agendas.

"Now that we are secure and safe in the Premier League, focus has really strongly come back onto the takeover now. That is why we deliberately wrote to the parties involved - so we can have those answers."
