777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

[Papa Shango]

Makes for bad reading. Staggering that it has come to this. Surely someone out there can recognise a sleeping giant?

We are not even that. Probably better for us that we realize that.

We mean nothing other than to ourselves, like most clubs, the ship has sailed.

I’d sadly have to agree…twenty years ago we were, but our death has been that slow and barely noticeable to others, that now we are a run of the mill PL club.

Even though its ended on a sour note, financially we've never wanted for anything under Moshiri/Usmanov.

£500m+ for players
World class stadium being pretty much paid for by Usmanovs companies.

The Ukraine war sadly put an end to that. A lot of the Sir Farhad haters are going to be in for a shock when 777 take over. Be like going from eating fillet steak to a Mcdonalds happy meal.

When did we ever do that? Given that bar a few, the signings we wasted millions on were more microwave ready meal ‘meat’ than fillet steak

 

[BullensRoad]

Oligarchs have gone and no one wants to compete with state owned clubs.

Same here. In my 60 years as an Evertonian there has been far more mediocrity than glory. I still say things would have been different had English clubs not been banned from European competition. We all know the black irony that was their travelling fans' actions effectively stunting our growth towards becoming a force in Europe.

I have been a bitter Blue since.

Walcott, Klassen, Sandro, JPG, Iwobi, Kean, Tosun, Bolasie, Gomes, Schniederlin. Fillet steak.

Yet under his watch we sell Stones, Lukaku, Barkley.

We didn’t sell Barkley as much as the little rat jibbed us off. Which ,as it turned out, did us a massive favour!

Did it?

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Did it?

Absolutely
His career has hardly been remarkable since.
And we had one rat less to get rid of.

I'd booked my coach for the Supercup, iirc

The link to the FCA describes the procedure which companies in the areas covered by the FCA, insurance for example, need to employ to ensure that any potential new staff are fit and proper persons. As company HR departments can't search social media data there exist specialist firms which carry out the process to produce the necessary findings.

For a company seeking to start trading in these areas the certification period by the FCA is between six months and a year.

FCA will, I am sure, not rely on information solely from 777 Partners...

It’s not even the recruitment of personnel, but also financial governance of the company who falls under their regulatory jurisdiction. For example, in insurance you need adequate financial reserves to make payments….it understandably will be similar here.

I expect the FCA and the PL FPP test to contain the correct level of scrutiny. I think people are putting two and two together and getting 5 by comparing this shower with the Newcastle takeover. Regardless of the morality of the ‘people’ behind them, there is no chance of Newcastle going bust - with this lot, there is every chance they run the club into the ground which would not be a good look for the PL, particularly for an ever present club. Behind all that of course is also their view on how ‘linked’ the proceeds of this sale would be to a person on the sanctions list.

 

[Market trader]

This is correct. I was trying to demomstrate the control of the recruitment process for those companies over which it has
sway. It also investigates individual companies it considers subject to complaints or otherwise suspect.

So they haven't got the cash for British Basketball or a Brazilian Football club BUT they'll still pass the correct measures to become owners of a Premier League team?

It's a disaster waiting to happen

Not that I'm a fan in anyway but I'm fairly sure both of those were paid (eventually)

they’re is no way on earth this 777 is even doing any kind of good vault me

1. buy everton for a discount
2. take a loan for hundreds of millions
3. create shell company or multiple shell companies
4. use TV money to pay everyone associated w/ 777 insane salaries for "administration".
5. best case, club treads water enough to be sold for break even/profit (unlikely, only potential buyers are oil shieks who look like they've had their fun and Chinese investors who aren't flush w/ cash as of recent)
6. probable case, club goes bankrupt - its OK tho, banks seize Everton, and we've already made our 10s of millions in salaries.

they are corporate raiders
