John Textor could eventually float Everton in the stock exchange as well as his Eagle Football Group according to a report in The Guardian, giving fans and other investors the chance to buy public shares in the Club.
Textor and a group of un-named partners believe they are less than three months away from completing a deal to buy Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% stake in the Club while they plan to take Eagle public in the United States later this month.
The Missouri-born entrepreneur hopes to raise around $400m from the initial public offering and Matt Hughes reports that they might also plan an IPO for the Blues down the road.
Currently, the only clubs to have gone public are Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur who trade on the NYSE and Arsenal whose shares are available on the ISDX market.
