Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has urged fans to be patient over the club's sale to 777 Partners.

The club's Fan Advisory Board (FAB) has published answers on the state of the takeover they've received from Moshiri and 777.

Moshire wrote: "Securing the complete financing of the new stadium remains a priority and I can assure you from personal experience that 777 have met every ask that we have made of them to date.

"Now I completely understand the frustration that the Premier League approval process has taken longer than was originally expected.

"It is not ideal, but we must respect the Premier League's process and hope that it is something that we must live with for only a little longer.

"We fully respect all our regulatory bodies, work closely and constructively with them, and please bear with us whilst we are in the home straight.

"I can also assure you that as soon as there is something definitive to say that we will share with you immediately."

777 chief Josh Wander also said: "None of us thought that this process would take over six months, as opposed to 12-14 weeks, as was our expectation,' Wander said.

"I look forward to answering your questions to the extent we are able, but I want to manage your expectations that we can't do so prior to the transaction concluding, in line with the advice we have received with respect to the ongoing regulatory processes.

"However, all of us at 777 Partners - myself included - remain committed to having a productive working relationship with the FAB and other organised fan groups once we are owners of Everton FC."
