Everton “continue to explore discussions on new investment” after talks with MSP Sports Capital collapsed, in an enormous blow to the membership.

The Blues advised BBC Sport in an announcement that “good progress” was being made on funding for the brand new stadium.

In January, owner Farhad Moshiri said prices for the membership’s new floor on Bramley Moore Dock may quantity to £760m – a £260m improve on figures quoted by the membership final 12 months.

A spokesperson stated: “The club can confirm that it continues to make good progress on securing the complete stadium financing, and as part of this progress it has secured a loan to support the development costs for our new stadium.

“As the bulk shareholder has acknowledged beforehand, he’ll proceed to discover discussions on new funding, offered it’s proper for the longer term improvement of the soccer membership.”

After talks with MSP broke down, BBC Sport understands Everton remain in discussions with other parties from the USA and Asia over potential investment in the club.

MSP failed to respond when asked for comment by BBC Sport.

Speaking in his pre-match news conference before facing Wolves on Saturday, manager Sean Dyche said: “It does not actually influence [us] within the sense that I do know [what] the realities of the parameters are from a participant viewpoint, signing them and dealing available in the market.

“There are so many checks for deals at Premier League clubs or any company and investor – they don’t get done in a day or week. That is an ongoing view from the the business side and I don’t get involved.

“We know we now have to work onerous available in the market, discover methods of making offers as a result of we do not have a pot of gold. I knew that from after I bought the job and have been working diligently with [Director of Football] Kevin Thelwell, scouts and numerous contacts to attempt to discover the proper gamers that may slot in and make us stronger.”

MSP was believed to be looking for a 25% stake with a preferential share structure, not equity in the club, so would be paid back in interest.

They had jumped ahead of fellow American investment group 777 Partners, who had been given access to the “information room” [financial accounts].

However, talks with 777 did not progress as the company was not prepared to pay a “vital” price owing to the debt on the balance sheet – which stood at £141.7m in the latest club accounts.

When asked by BBC Sport on Thursday whether they had reopened talks about investment in Everton 777 Partners declined to comment.

British-Iranian businessman Moshiri has invested more than £750m since 2016, but some supporters are deeply unhappy about his ownership of the club.

Toffees fans held protests before some home games last season and called for Moshiri and the board to leave the club.

Chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief finance and strategy officer Grant Ingles and non-executive director Graeme Sharp have all since left their boardroom roles, but chairman Bill Kenwright remains in his post.

Everton are currently bottom of the Premier League after losing their opening two games without scoring, and face winless Wolves at Goodison Park this weekend.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is out of the game after suffering a facial injury and will see a specialist about the issue on Friday, while winger Alex Iwobi has been ruled out for a few weeks with a hamstring problem.

On Thursday night Everton fans campaign group NSNOW said it was a “desperately regarding time for all Evertonians”.

“We head into the important final week of the switch window now with large uncertainty about our membership’s possession, management and monetary place,” the group stated.

“It is crucial that Farhad Moshiri communicates brazenly to followers about his place and future plans, places in place a brand new chairman, board and chief government who can present management for the membership, and offers reassurance the membership can fund the completion of the brand new stadium.”
