Exactly. I don’t think it’s clear cut they are a disaster. I even came across satisfied Vasco fans.

As someone mentioned previously, given that their business model is to buy distressed clubs, you need to dig a bit deeper to understand if any bad stuff that’s happening is due to previous regime or to 777.

Surely they couldn’t be any worse than the Moshiri / Kenwright combo?

Since 2016:

Finished 7th, 8th, 8th, 12th, 10th in 5 of our 7 seasons.

Building a 53k state of the art stadium

Spent £500m+ on players (albeit poorly)

Hired Carlo Ancelotti as manager

Will 777 do any of the above ? Not a chance.

The last 2 seasons have distorted many of our fans opinions on Moshiri. Had Putin not been a tyrant and left Ukraine alone things would be much better for us on/off the field.

Dont let the bedwetters hoodwink you into thinking things cant be worse than what they currently are. This group are the definition of the term "dodgy".

When judging the position of their current clubs I think you have to think about the state of our own:

If 777 do take over in the coming months and we get relegated then yeah technically 777 have have relegated us.

But I think most of us would accept that it’s been years of mismanagement under Moshiri and Kenwright that have led to us having a paper thin squad and another summer without any real investment to improve it, and indeed with money from player sales being taken away to keep the business afloat.

It’ll take years to turn us round, longer than 777 have had at any club, and if we accept that our relegation would be a result of the failures of the Moshiri era it’s probably premature to judge 777 on the struggles of their already-struggling investments.

You are a freak.
 
Due diligence whilst deciding whether to buy us should indicate how much we need to pay out, I would think it would be crazy for someone to buy us and then we still go into administration because of say the 200 million owed to LoR, especially given the leverage rules which would mean they would be risking at least some of their own capital.

That said if we actually desperately need a takeover they'll probably turn out not to have the funds or fail the PL fit and proper test as that's just Everton.

Yes but its how you pay it, up to this point Moshiri has been writeing balnk cheuqes to cover our losses, hes not prepared to that at any more - so hes selling. So we are a significant loss making business, with no way to pay. So when that happens and you have an owner not willing to invest - you sell assets - we have assets they are players - they get sold to meet costs - we stay in business.

The 200 mill (its actually closer 250 mill) for LOR will be gotten on the market in increased debt. The total debt will stand at 3550 -650 mill. 777 will pay themselves big management fees from club coffers for "managing the club".

Asset strip, pay selves handsomely, take on debt, that's the plan.

Stop blaming this ffs, it isn’t the reason and you damn well know it

The reason we are where we are is because of wild eyed spending and giving average to crap players huge 5/6 figure contracts that they don’t deserve and letting them go for virtually nothing in some cases

Bolasie - £26m, released on a free
Sigurdsson - £45m, released quietly on a free
Klaasen - £25m, sold for £12m
Schneiderlin - £20m, sold for £2m
Iwobi - £34m, sold for £22m
Walcott - £20m, released on a free
Tosun - £20m, released on a free
Maupay - £15m, loaned out
Holgate - given a £72k contract, loaned out
Mina - £28m, released on a free

Count out Holgate being a buttons signing that’s still £233m outlay with only £36m clawed back in sales
