because if the 777 deal falls through the sellers will be desperate and lower the price.

Just like trying to buy a house that's gone sale agreed.
You can tell the estate agent that you'll offer X if the deal falls through.
The estate agent wont mention that to anyone because X is likely to be considerably less than the accepted offer.

All the while, the seller still has to pay the huge mortgage and all the leans they'd taken out on the house.

What if the 777 doesn't fall apart ?
If there are potential buyers who are waiting to scavenge what is left after the 777 deal collapses then I think we want them less than 777.

The PL have been dealing with 777 since September, if they didn't want them involved they could have binned them a long time ago.
I think this is a nearly done deal already.

I don’t like 777, but they’ve got the funds and have shown it by continuing to loan to cover ongoing needs. If they can keep us from administration it will be better than the alternative.

If they can rehabilitate the club’s business plan and do better with marketing and sponsorships, the new stadium will permit a slow but sustained regrowth.

Absent a sale to some miracle billionaire, this is the best we can hope for.

Anybody but FM is hope, if nothing else. And hope is a memory right now.

Those ‘ funds ‘ you allude to were actually borrowed by 777 to lend to us in turn .
Which strongly implies that , no , they don’t have the funds .
In fact if they had the funds they would have been approved before Christmas , yet here we are past Easter and still no proof of funds.

They don't have the funds which is why they still have unfulfilled the requirements set out by the PL.

Yea, you could well be right.
I remember FSG let hicks and gillette sweat over buying that lot but it was different times.
I dont want 777 ownership
but funnily enough, someone posted a dumb April fools just saying that 777 were the new owners of the club
and my instant reaction was "well phew, thank christ all that's over, time to move on".
