In an in depth interview with Sky, Textor was asked about the challenges of completing the deal, pressure from Everton supporters and the club’s new stadium on Bramley-Moore Dock.
Textor became the latest party in the frame to take over the Toffees after talks broke down with both 777 Partners and the Friedkin Group this summer.
Through his company Eagle Football Holdings, Textor already has a number of stakes in other clubs, including Lyon in France, Brazilian side Botafogo and Belgian club Molenbeek.
“Nobody wakes up and thinks, ‘I get to buy Everton’,” he said.
“But if you decide football is what you want in your life, and then somebody comes along and asks you if you want to become the owner of Everton, it’s like someone asking you if you want to be President of the United States. Of course you do.
“Let’s be frank, the failure of others has been the blessing that we get to walk in to – which means that anybody could outbid me at any time. I have a qualified period of exclusivity, but exclusives don’t matter if Farhad gets an offer tomorrow that is supremely better than mine.
“I wouldn’t force him to do a bad deal with me. The longer this takes, the greater the probability that there’s some other smart guy out there that wakes up and see this as a great deal, as it is.
“Right now, this seems to be our opportunity and we hope to close.”
