777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

[AndyRJ]

Wouldn’t it be great if we could go just 1 day without being kicked in the bollocks

Only Everton can ruin your day/week/month when not even playing.

The rules brought in to keep the other 14 in place by capping spending, ironically is the reason we're buggered. Our owner had the money but for reasons beyond our and his control the rug was pulled from under us.

We've been mismanaged but these stupid P&S/FFP rules have crippled us and look like being very close to costing us our existence. It's also not our/Moshiri's fault that Russia invaded Ukraine and sanctions have crippled us. We don't have much joy when war is about do we(not that anyone does but in a football sense), Everton that.

Freudian slip of the day award right here. I'm completely relaxed to be honest.

Bloody predictive text! But yes sealing our fate early might ease some of the angst

It is our fault that we were owned illegally by Usmanov, yes. Stop making excuses for the criminals in charge that have killed this club.

The Premier League can not afford a club to go into administration, it will be seen globally as "Premier league bubble burst", it will have a domino effect, even the other clubs (especially the big ones) will also hate the idea.

The premier league and the authorities have to make a choice, the lesser of two evel type of choice, what is worst for them? Allowing 777 to take control or refusing it which means the current owner/situation remains the same? How can they allow the situation remains the same if we can't even pay the bills?

I won't be surprised at all if a rapid approval is issued, no one can afford the Moshiri circus any longer

Even if the PL relax the fit and proper owner test on the basis that you've suggested 777 still have to come up with the Dosh and reach agreement with the multiple lenders.

I just can't see it.

Those rules were brought in so clubs live within their means, and we are a prime example of what happens if you don't.

Portsmouth have already done it

They didn’t, they were hours away from it

Can you imagine getting a 9 point deduction right now, 5 games in and we'd be on -8 points because we haven't been able to muster a bloody win.

Or a fine, from the PL panel for FFP.

Safe to say Dele Alli wont be playing 7+ games.............

Look at League 1 I think you have 4 teams on minus with Reading having had 2 separate points deductions for failure to pay wages on time

Whose making excuses, just stating what's happened. I can't stand what's happening but we do have some mitigating circumstances. I don't see 777 solving anything.

 

[Moomin]

I've just messaged 777 and asked for a meeting.

Want them to make a drastic change and replace Z Cars with Wacko Jacko's hitsong " Heal the World "

Will soothe the fans a bit before the rage takes over.

The major mitigating circumstance was us being owned illegally by a Russian oligarch and bankrolled pretty much entirely from his back pocket. That is no way to run a business. It’s not hard luck, Moshiri has brought this on us.

What’s the clubs monthly turnover £180 million ? That’s 15 million a month if we break even with payments going out but cash flow is critical . They will have already had the season ticket money for this season so not much coming in though the gates . If we are borrowing for day to day costs then that means that cash has gone and only tv money and sponsorships ( has that been paid yet ) . Given all that we need £15 million a month to survive and £15 million a month to keep BMD on track then the future of this club is in grave danger
