Maciek Kaminski, the American/Polish real estate tycoon who had sought to purchase Everton earlier this year, has acquired his first football club and been linked with investment into another.
Kaminski was part of a consortium that initially featured former Manchester United CEO Peter Kenyon and US oil magnate John Thornton back in June, the trio having entered into an exclusivity period with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri but unable to strike any deal, with Moshiri subsequently declaring his ongoing commitment to the Toffees.
The talks over a deal, which had arrived from Moshiri's desire to seek external investment to provide a capital injection in order to secure the required funding for the club's new stadium development at Bramley Moore Dock, were ended after the exclusivity period passed, with Kenyon and Thornton both stepping away from the consortia but Kaminski remaining.
