Esk ultimately wants to be offered a roll on the board which will end badly for him...fans will turn on him and he'll soon be telling the likes of Greg O'Keefe he was attacked on Goodison Rd by a gang of Yoofs wielding sausage rolls....in the words of Greame Sharp,be careful what you wish for Esk.
he can have a go the esk you know he used to be head doorman on the cream

This wasn't my notes, it was from a twitter user called @mrjamieyates

I also have a memory of stadium announcements, transfers and deleted posts on this forum when he was wrong.

The man is a danger.

Keen we don't allow posts about one 'anonymous' bloke on Twitter to continually monopolise this thread. If you have such a dim view of him, I suspect you'd agree with the below?

Can we please avoid allowing interpretation of 'the esks' tweets to monopolise the thread? Feel free to message him on Twitter/X instead.

One senses a need for people to get a grip and if you don’t appreciate what someone says then chose to ignore it. If posting stuff about Everton makes him happy then so be it. If he’s a liar, then who cares.

Oh by the way, I am the son of Usmanov, you don’t see me harping on about it.

Thats a bit out there in itself isnt it. The Esk is essentially a lad on twitter, giving his opinion - its up to the reader to weigh up the validity of his content as they will and how much they are influenced by it. Essentially if you are engaging in social media - you are in control - you control what you believe and who or what you want to interact with. You can just blot someone out of your online existence if you think they are a moron.

Going to the extent of tracing back four generations of someone's family, forum history or posting your own social experiment controversial stuff seems a bit out there really. But look here's me commenting on two anonymous lads on the internet, like its actually a valid thing - i guess that's how it grow legs.

I suppose that strikes me as a bit unnecessary and crass, particularly given recent health difficulties etc.

Interesting that you assume it would be bad - it would be a survey for everyone to explore views towards 777.

I think it would be good to know why fans think they'd be good, or bad - or what information they'd need to be able to say either.

Always good to quantify views - like our annual surveys do.

Have they Schmoozed you? Or are you hoping to Schmooze them? Didn't take you for a schmoozer, but you could offer them a very fine biscuit with a jigsaw, in a non schmoozey way.

I have voiced my concerns earlier on in the forum only because we need some actual questions leveled at their business model and some actual answers from 777.
My real concern is how they use their 'expertise', to check on my suspicions about 777's underwriting expertise.

Some basic questions came to mind, what is their idea of insurance, why are underwriters interested in the Multiclub model, and what motivates their insistence on unique investors for different assets in their portfolio?
I referred to their website first, and the website portrays them as consultants who optimize operation costs but they have largely been stand-offish on that front at the other clubs. So, I went back to earlier versions of their website to check out the business model prior to their reframing exercise, their early website can be found here, they talk about their investment strategies which are alarming:

"Through its structured settlement affiliates, SuttonPark Capital and Singer Asset Finance, 777 Partners has become the leading wholesale aggregator and servicer of structured settlements in the United States. 777 provides a variety of capital and asset disposition options for secondary market structured settlement purchasing companies. In most cases these purchasing companies are providing liquidity in the form of a tax free lump sum payment to the recipient of a structured settlement resulting from a previously settled tort claim involving physical injury, illness, or workers’ compensation whereby a claimant is compensated for damages through an annuity. The core competencies of 777’s structured settlement affiliates include the sourcing, underwriting, and servicing of high quality long-term cash flows including structured settlements, annuities, and lottery winnings. 777 Partners applies its expertise to help institutional investors achieve their required return, risk, and duration objectives.

Through its affiliates, 777 Partners is one of the nation’s leading providers of litigation financing and valuation services to law firms and plaintiffs. Litigation financing provides personal-injury victims, lawsuit plaintiffs, and attorneys the necessary liquidity to pay expenses and manage cash flow while awaiting the resolution of their claims. 777 affiliates provide financing for both pre and post settlement claims. This highly specialized finance business allows law firms, whose revenues are derived from contingency fee practice, to access liquidity through credit lines and financing arrangements collateralized by the value of their anticipated contingency fees. Additionally, 777 Partners offers technology, claims management, and valuation services to law firms and litigation processing firms through its affiliate IT Strategies Group."

So is it a case that these lot thought that, 'hey we handle a lot of divestment strategies, we might as well own some of them as part of our contingency fees aswell?'. Are my worst fears about us and their idea of insurance, at least, partly true? These are extremely worrying practices to me but I am unsure how it works in the context of the EFC deal or even if their model is different or has evolved. We need to get some relevant answers before the deal is finalized.

Apologies. It's just for years now he's been found as a chancer and I don't feel comfortable seeing people constantly being manipulated and believing his cult like performance.

I'll stop now but hopefully people will see sense.

I'm too miserable, cynical... and continually annoyed with everyone to be schmoozed.

But if 777 bought me some toffolossus I'd rename the site after them.

I actually tried those biscuits a couple of weeks back @GrandOldTeam ffs you may as well just eat a packet of butter Ffs! lol

They're incredible. I got them as a Christmas gift - just as well I'm from Kirkby and can't justify £20 for a packet of biscuits otherwise I'd be dead before I hit 40 from eating them.

We better get back on topic - I wonder what biscuits Everton put out for 777 meetings?

I reckon the cheap home brand bourbons
