Everton Clarifies Stance Amid John Textor's Takeover Claims

Despite positive talks, Everton states more work is needed to finalize the deal with the American businessman.

Everton issued a statement distancing themselves from John Textor's optimistic takeover remarks.
Textor, who must sell his Crystal Palace stake before buying Everton, compared the opportunity to becoming U.S. President.
Everton's interim CEO Colin Chong emphasized that Textor's comments reflect his personal views and not the club's official stance.
Textor's interview with Sky Sports caused mixed reactions among Everton fans and raised concerns within the club's interim board.
Textor's acquisition depends on resolving financial and regulatory hurdles, including Everton's past breaches of Premier League spending rules.
