777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

[HalfTimeSayers]

All we need now is a tweet from the esk to add the cherry to the sh!t sundae.

He’s on the opposite side of the track still doing his victory lap. Will have to wait for him and Josimar to make it all the way round to tell them it’s BACK ON (for a fortnight).

Knew them dead in the water shouts about 777 were premature , we’ve had our derby win can’t be too greedy

 

[Melchizedek]

He certainly has, I can only hope a few more decide to speak freely.

All illusions of 'good old Bill' need shattering.

Tevor Birch would be nice.

Exactly.
Should have come forward years earlier, but better late than never.
Need these people to speak up now to stop dead any beatification campaign Bill's remaining sycophants try to begin.

If Moshiri had been Jesus ( stretch here admittedly), he’d have turned wine into water. What a talent

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Think it’s probably that simple / boring.

I said the other day that with Wander and Pasko losing operational control of the football side it was worth holding out to see if the new administrators pull the deal, rather than pulling it ourselves and incurring possible penalties.

You also have the cold, firm reality which is that 777 are likely the only viable show in town at present time.

All this talk of buyers "waiting in the wings" means little to nothing if they do not possess the funds to do a deal.

Either 777 are a front for Usmanov, or there are no other serious contenders for ownership. It does not benefit Moshiri dragging a sale out.

Why would he buy the club from himself?

Paul Gregg interview with the Echo is out as a podcast. They have a YouTube version out later on this evening.

"I won't say too much about Bill because he's no longer here to defend himself, but as a chairman he lost the plot"

"What's changed in 20 years? Nothing"

I would rather people publicly speak out about the harm Moshiri is doing to the club, because he’s the current clear and present danger to us, not Kenwright.

Something isn’t right about all this.

They’re not viable. They’re in a worse situation than the club.

A condition set by the PL was 777 pay the MSP loan. 777, MSP and Everton agreed to an extension from the end of April until the end of May. 8 mill at the weekend keeps their and our chips on the table until then. I suspect all of MSP, Everton and 777 need to meet their obligations under that agreement to be without penalty (prob explains the 8 mill at the weekend).

Hopefully we have a plan B for the 1st of June - given reports this morning on a refinancing loan - seems we may.

8 million for extension fee.

Good business that.

They are dead.

I personally do not believe in any credible link between 777 & Mr Usmanov, however I am not involved with either party so I leave that out there for discussion purposes.

Realistically speaking, there is no one who wants to buy the club at a price required to seal a deal other than 777 who appear to be in a wee bit of financial trouble themselves.

From a business perspective, few PL clubs are worth purchasing currently. Most are operating at a loss, the leagues administrators are now taking "FFP" more seriously with the independent regulation spectre looming prominently over Premier League HQ. You also have the threat of an ESL and the bigger clubs going and taking the TV money with them at any time likely in the back of potential investors minds, something which would see their share value plummet almost instantaneously.

The above is not taking into account the worsening global economy & war in Ukraine.

The gold rush days are over.
