The Fortress Sports Fund

    The group of investors promising to pump £30m into
    Everton have revealed the money should be in the Goodison Park club's
    bank account by Christmas.


    Chris Samuelson, head of the Brunei-based Fortress Sports Fund, has
    given Everton written confirmation this week that the deal is still to
    go ahead.

    "Yes we have the money, yes it is being processed and yes, Everton will have it as soon as possible," said Samuelson.

    "Money transfers are complicated and these things take time."


    He added: "In fact the consortium was over-subscribed, but the money is being paid in
    dollars from New York and the man who has the final say on its release is in New
    Zealand.

    "We actually have the money in our account but we are now waiting for the final agreement to set up the fund in Brunei.

    "Cash transfers can take three or four days, and I hope it is with Everton by Christmas."

    An initial £12.8m was supposed to be in Everton's hands on Monday, the
    last day of a two-week extension that the club had given FSF at
    November's annual general meeting.

    When that deadline passed, the fund's "exclusivity" was ended and it was possible for other consortiums to open negotiations.
