777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

When they announce Kenwright is staying it might just make my head roll clean off my shoulders

I will put my house on him still being there in some capacity

Interesting that, didn't know that Mladen was at the foxes.

They seem to have at least appointed some reasonably experienced football people to their central department. Dransfield another. People are expecting clueless Yanks but I think it'll at least be more sophisticated than Moshiri paying 30m for lads picked out of a catalogue of Kia's clients.

Ok, I bit the bullet and paid a fiver to read the Josimar article about 777. Jesus, I had to go and have a lie down in a dark room after just the first couple of pages. Will finish it later. Very worrying...

Todd Bohely didn't take over Chelsea on his own, they've got a consortium and banks investing under one umbrella.

Wouldn't be surprised this being the same.

Neither would I, could easily see it being the case.

I just don't understand why some are so dismissive of the idea the funding might be in place. I don't think an announcement gets made today without the funding being in place - even at Everton Football Club in the 21st century.

TBH I'm not even arsed about this lot.

I care only about the 11 points we lost out of the first 12 and what - if anything - those scumbags at the PL have in store for us.

Just joined mate?

Great first post
Post lots more.

No way, they will have to have a co investor - there's no way they complete without an influx or backing from someone.

Seems common sense to me. A PL club of this size is way out of their league.

I dont think this deal happens personally without a co-investor.

However I will state this, the multi club model is something which is going to get bigger and bigger, I would prefer it to be a city group Everton owned one, but we aren't getting a sheik or state buying us yet.

What I do want is, people who are extremely business savvy, people who are involved in sports and people who know football. We dont have any of this except for "let's keep bill because he's a good negotiator".

Proper football people with a proper plan would be nice.

Having the advantage of potentially picking the best talent from a group of clubs is something we should look to leverage, including selling/loaning our players out.

I wonder if they'll reinstate the Annual General Meeting ?

I think there's a theme here......

Sportpesa probably hit about 3 of those charges

Bet its a wild ride

When they reinstate Kenwright - yes.

PIF was reportedly in talks with them to provide investment so cue six months in the future when Josh wander aka real life Kendall Roy disappears in a boating accident as debts aren't properly repaid lol

We're getting shut of Digger Barnes and replacing him with Kendall Roy.

FFS.

is both ofc in the short term is staying up again this season, but you have to care this is slabout the long term future of the club

Given 777s track record we are right to have doubts. Right now it is far from obvious how they can fund the purchase, stadium etc. Moshiri has made his decision now the relevant authorities will do whatever it is they do and we will see where we stand.

Until 777 get approval and pay Moshiri we are in limbo. After that it is vital they deliver on that line in the press release saying funding for BMD is now secure. Beyond that they have to enable squad strengthening in January.

If they want a quick PR win confirming Kenwright will go and announcing a credible blue like Leahy, Gilvary or Carey as chair-in-waiting us would help with both us and PL.

It is hard to be optimistic about any of this given that as fans we are just here to be “monetised” in Josh Wander’s own words but it is the hope that kills us so

Out of the frying pan, into another frying pan….

I wonder what people's reactions would be if it were Saudi or Qatar cash?
