A consortium including the Kaminski family plans to buy Everton by July 21

A consortium including the Kaminski family, Peter Kenyon and American businessman John Thornton is set to buy Everton by July 21 and will pay around £500m of debt for the club, The Daily Telegraph has learned exclusively. The consortium has also promised lampard the financial wherewithal to make the move under the relevant financial rules.

Sources said: The consortium, which includes the Kaminski family, are passionate sports fans who have been watching The Premier League for years. Despite their lack of experience as potential owners, there is no doubting their understanding of football and respect for the emotions of the game, as well as their commitment to Everton’s values and history.

The Kaminskis are quiet and don’t want too much attention. But a takeover of Everton would inevitably bring more publicity, so every member of the family has said they will grasp this and use it to the club’s advantage.
