BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on all things Premier League.

@PaulClews2 asked: What is your view on the new information regarding 777 and alleged fraud, Phil?

Phil answered: Well, first of all we have to state right away that these are accusations at this stage but there is no doubt plenty of Everton fans have a right to be very concerned about this latest development and all the other issues that seem to be surrounding 777 at the moment.

They have not heard much that will give them belief they will be good owners for such an illustrious, but currently troubled, club.

It is also clearly of concern to the Premier League because they have not felt able to approve 777 as fit and proper owners for Everton after such a long period of time.

I am really surprised 777 seem to be the only game in town – at least publicly - for Everton owner Farhad Moshiri as he tries to sell the club. I think Everton's best hope is that someone else is lurking and waiting to move at the last minute because there has been lots of news around 777 recently and none of it good.
