If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.
They own multiple football clubs around Europe you are right fit and proper (FAP for short) won't be an obstacle.

This lot really are quite wealthy.. although unless they can see us make profits then all the money in the world won't improve us when hamstrung by spending regulations...

I while ago I had posted that I was going to the Bournemouth game and that was me done unless there was a significant change. I am generally an optimistic type, I see benefits in parting company with Moshiri, if Kenwright goes then all the better. However I have grave reservations about 777, they do seem a bit on the shady side. However I am a long standing Evertonian, it takes very little to give me hope, all hope had gone under Moshiri. I am hoping that Everton can become the biggest fish in 777s portfolio, I hope they see the need to keep us in the Premier League and act accordingly.

But they don't have cash. They're an investment company who may hold '$x' in assets but if they were to sell assets then they'd have to repay partners, investors, creditors before any cash comes our way.

The thing about this too is for as dodgy as people say 777 are, Moshiri is equally if not far more so with Usmanov looming in the background. I have no doubt in my mind that Everton would be implicated historically in illegal activity related to Moshiri and Usmanov, it's the biggest open secret going. Not only are you correct in saying Moshiri doesn't last in terms of running a football club, I frankly don't think it would be long before he'd be forced into selling the club like Abramovich at Chelsea, which he'd probably get far less for in that situation and would also paint the whole club as dodgy, especially given our FFP troubles and all that.
It'd kill us and open us up to all sorts of legal action from other clubs, especially the relegated ones. This may be a case of Moshiri jumping before he's pushed but sod him, at least with 777 Everton will remain a club, under Moshiri we'd have folded, 100%.
How do you suppose they acquire these assets if they don't have any cash mate?

Very few billionares have much cash, their wealth is in stocks and shares of their various companies.
they borrow it on the back of the assets they already have?

Yeah, I was very worried about the big headlines about their head honchos, and still am, but I think there's a cautious optimism in the fact they seem to be making good appointments in their football department, which suggests they are at least serious about doing things right rather than the fly by night cowboys the headlines suggest.
Dransfield has experience with City Group, Spors with Red Bull (as does Thelwell, so might dovetail nicely). Considering multiclub setups are relatively new they have found guys who understand them. They've got data and analytics in place too with guys like Sormaz. These are very respectable people.
If, big if, these guys are allowed to do their jobs without interference it's an opportunity to be a part of a modern, professional setup. We shall see.
Spors & particularly Dransfield are highly regarded in the football world.
Straight away they offer something the club has lacked for a very long time.

Agree with all of this. If 777 it is to be the quicker it goes through the better. And don't forget that the Abramovich situation was all out in the open- if investigation found that we were de facto an Usmanov asset we wouldn't get the sweet deal Chelsea did. It might end us on the spot.
