777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

[GoldenToffee]

Vince McMahon has recently left his role at WWE following a takeover. Coincidence that 777 are investing in us at the same time? Who wouldn't want this man to be our new Chairman?

When he oversees us selling Branthwaite for £15m...

When he sees Dyche has moved Ashley Young to CM and is playing Keane in a 541...

Bring me Vince.

A leveraged buyout from a somewhat shady outfit with a poor history that is purely trying to profit from this. Yeah we should get the bunting and fireworks out and celebrate now.

There is that but then there is also "Nobody on this forum has a jar of glue" too.

In comparison to Moshiri, these guys might be like a formula 1 tire change...

What worries me more than anything about selling to a firm of investors like this, especially on a success related basis is they have nothing to lose, a safe bet for them. Say we were to get relegated this season, what's the incentive to prevent it. or to get us back up first season? The worse we get the cheaper the job lot becomes for them. I just hope our negotiating team are making a watertight deal to negate any underhand dealings or blatant price rigging.

None of us know how the deal will be structured though and I'm pretty certain we'll stay in the dark for as long as these people "own" us.

Because there far far more money in the PL then the Championship, with a new tv soon expected to be HUGE with Apple(if they win)

Just glance at their CV and you will realise that your comment represents the dubious triumph of hope over solid fact.
Nothing this group have done or achieved in the past suggests they will have the effect you wish for .
Happy for someone to share the success stories this group have had a hand in ?
I’ve found no reason for any optimism in their history.

If the FA and the PL knock back 777 as unfit owners surely we can dispute a 10 point deduction for going into administration?
I still think the 777 thing will go tits up because of the lack of funds and the realisation that relegation is a real possibility.
If they pull out Moshiri will have to put his hands in his pockets again or he will end up with nothing.

 

[Yarrgh]

What do you expect them to say? They aren't going to say he looks like a big scotch egg and will be sacked on a few weeks are they?!

To he fair, that's what I'd do. (Un)fortunately for Everton, I am neither a billionaire with a penchant for buying football clubs or in charge of shady sports investment schemes so alas no headlines on the back pages about scotch egg head sackings.

100 yards down the pit lane, 2 tyres come whizzing off.

Then the fuel tank explodes, then the flaming wreckage hits the wall, flipping over the wall and injuring hundreds, all of whome sue the club for damages. In resp

In response, our board sign up Bernie Ecclestone as our new centre forward!

More like this I'd reckon:

The FIA and EPL both Dock us points.

The first time a club has been sanctioned by 2 sporting bodies.


Another Everton first under Kenwright. Good Times!!!

You don't know what type of buyout it is.

 

[Blue Smoke]

This whole situation has asked me a question I've not thought about before...could I legitimately and wholeheartedly support another team. Seems inconceivable, but could I get behind a team like Brighton and slowly transition away from Everton

They have already proved to several regulators that they have the funds. If it doesn't go through it won't be because they don't have the funds.
