777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

[Curtis]

Thats ALWAYS my default stance.

Expect and prepare for the worst, it it doesnt happen, you have something to celebrate, if it does, well, you are mentally prepared.

Like all these people saying stuff like "If we can keep Branners for another 2 years his value increases", these people are in for a SHOCK.

So Murphys law could basically be reanamed evertons law at this point?

Surprised it took so long.

Should’ve happened 3 years ago.

I picture him on his yacht showing Uncle Uzy the tweet.

Should have been done months ago imo

I wonder if the difficulty was the optics while the points deduction stuff and relegation was in play.

It’s easier for the PL to hammer the club if its own supporters are hammering the club.

One fire at a time, they probably wanted the pressure on the points deduction issues 1st.

I wonder if we'll rue not cranking the pressure up earlier.

Hard to know in this case, we equally could've done that and gone into administration with no other options on the table, had -9 points and the players completely implode mentally. As of where we are now we know we could take that, but if it'd happened before maybe they wouldn't have gained those points.

That said, we'd probably be sat here blaming the Premier League for rejecting it and saying "well they got what they wanted" after a well coordinated club PR statement or two

Definitely I will be captivating my future children with riveting tales about that electrifying crystal palace game under lampard where dele played his one and only good game for us as we avoided relegation, it will live on in history as such blissful time for evertonians

I get people not wanting 777 with all of the stuff going around about them but to release a statement before the end of the season is a bit stupid. Certainly until we are 9 points clear of the relegation zone as if we go into administration then we have to be safe from relegation first.

I'm sure Farhad is on the phone to josh as we speak.... "The fans don't like you so the deal is off".

Deduction would be next season as of about 4-6 weeks ago. At least that's what we think, its not written down anywhere...

We are 11 points clear mate.

If anything - now they have something in common.

How recent is this?

Yes mate, but you said they can’t reject a takeover, only not accept one. And by your own admission there, that isn’t the case.

I’ve read through the disqualification criteria and it’s clear that 777 are sailing very close to it.

To clarify, if 777 meet the criteria laid out then they would be approved.

If, after that, the principals of 777 were found guilty of fraud or whatever, they would be removed as principal but that wouldn’t mean that 777 the entity wouldn’t own us.

If they were found guilty, the individuals could be removed as principal of 777, but if 777 the entity met the criteria it wouldn’t be rejected.

There is a distinction here. It’s an entity that is taking over.

You can disqualify individuals but individuals very rarely take over football clubs.

Usmanov is very likely our current owner in reality, despite being sanctioned.
