The blue half of Merseyside could be set for continued frustrations on the financial front after Everton’s plans have reportedly taken a serious hit in the wake of targeted outside investor Maciek Kaminski has stepped away from the negotiating table.
A Polish-American investment magnate, Kaminski is the founder and president of the US-based Kaminski Asset Management, Inc. which has a portfolio that manages funds estimated to be in the billions of dollars while also boasting significant sway on the stock exchange, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Kaminski also offers private portfolio and account management and investment advice pertaining to central European markets and has been in the field over the past 15 years, and rumors began to swirl previously that he was locked in talks to consider a possible £400m takeover from current majority owner Farhad Moshiri, if not at the very least to come on board as an outside minority shareholder to offer increased cash into the pot so that the club could press on with its plans for their new ground at Bramley-Moore Docks.

But now, according to The Telegraph’s Matt Law, Kaminski has distanced himself from negotiations with Everton after there has been no resumption of talks since the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup, with Law reporting that there is little indication that Kaminski intends to come back to the table any time soon.
This would constitute a severe blow for the club which is in the midst of relative turmoil as they sit in the relegation zone in the Premier League and are a real contender to drop down to the Championship after escaping that same fate last season.
Everton supporters voiced their displeasure and outright anger at Moshiri’s ownership during the Toffees’ 2-1 home loss against Southampton at Goodison Park over the weekend, which saw the club’s form drop to five losses across their last six fixtures in the league while dropping down to nineteenth in the table, level on points with the aforementioned Saints (20th) and West Ham United (18th).
