    Our next manager?

    Considering ties to Redbull in 777 with Spors I honestly wouldnt be shocked if he was appointed if the takeover happens. Personality wise I could see him connecting, I just dont think hes a very good manager. If Redbull connections are likely there are other names I'd prefer, starting with...

    Our next manager?

    Im a fan of Potter and think if he finds the right situation he could do wonders, but I dont think thats us. Not only in relation to personnel but I think his media persona how he communicates. We have to admit we are a tough fanbase with pretty high expectations. I could see him be constantly...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Ballard is one I thought about too. Lot of talent on that Sunderland side. Have only watcheds a few games but I am a little worried about his foot speed at the next level. But he is been great for them this year has some technical ability and passing range, arsenal academy pedigree. Its a worthy...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    I question at times if value is still to be had in the Championship like it was under Moyes. Obviously networks down the table would be better to have for sell on viability and a development strategy. Id also say the majority of the best prospects are on likely promotion sides this year. That...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    I am personally still worried in the center of the park. I think the Tark/Branth/ Pickford have been very good at masking a lot of defensive cover or lack thereof above them. And in the same token the constant inconsistency of ball carriers from the midfield is to blame for poor supply almost as...

    Would it get worse without Dyche?

    This is my stance. Him leaving now I think would drastically backfire. Exit in the summer I think that overlaps nicely with the timeline. Hopefully theres at least resolve on the ownership front, assuming 777 is secured by then. New owners, new DoF thats given the summer to sort out options and...

    Our next manager?

    Its the kind of hire that if he had done under Moshiri and Brands off the bat, we may have avoided a lot of pitfalls. Our hypothetical strength will be having a global network through all of 777's assets. He'd be a manager that can understand that better than almost anyone, while also having...

    Our next manager?

    Have some other names but I have initially one at mind. If 777 take over and Johannes Spors becomes DoF the name I cant shake Ralf Rangnick. Connect Spors ties to RB, and that Ralf could leave Austria post euros harmoniously, I think there might be some overlap of interest. I personally would...

    777 Partners - New Poll Added 18/10/23

    To the point of such a model being generally bad for football I couldn't agree more. Clubs operating in their own microcosm being to internally maneuver and or scapegoat regulations is yet another example of contemporary footballs insanity. But I also think this is the cesspool thats been made...

    I am trying to make sure im not simply going glass 1/2 full with this but I actually think there is some substance and reason for optimism. Listen defaults and possible financial crumble of a group is worrisome and worth noting when we are attached. That said im also wary of giving anyone of...

    Summer 2024 transfer thread.

    Drafted this list of 777 clubs prospects initially in the winter window but considering the sale did not get done will throw with updates on the summer window thread. With the rumors and expectation 777 does get done and Johannes Spors would be installed as DoF, this is a compiled list of...

    777 Partners - New Poll Added 18/10/23

    This is the weird conundrum of this group. I would agree that Spors, Blazquez and Dransfield have some actual substance on the football side. Listen Genoa's needs and transformation is akin to the problems and necessities with us. The portfolio in broad honestly has a lot of good pipelines for...

    I just keep coming to this as well. This is a scarcity market, and few clubs with the growth potential of us often available under this pressure from the current owner. Sure that is adding to complications, we have a lot of aspirational expenditures outstanding that don't align with our squad...

    January transfer window 2024

    Been compiling a list of players from the 777 clubs. If the reports are that they are interested in implementing their own model, possibly replace Thelwell seems worthwhile to look at the structure and overall standout talents in their pool. In total its not as bad as I thought it would be...

    January transfer window 2024

    Considering limited funds and the transition im sure we will focus on sales, especially if our form continues to seem promising. That said I would look at 777's portfolio first to see if any in-house trading could be possible. They would have some invested interest to leverage their best talent...

    6 + 2 Point Deductions

    Lot to parse in all this. To start it is laughable that this is the punishment when the league consistently turns its head from incestious businesses in clubs, and in this specific case had to invent a commission to relay a punishment. Beating a dead horse but the premier league by all intensive...

    777 Partners - New Poll Added 18/10/23

    Far from the most important thing in this mess, but I'd be curious if 777 just calls on its other clubs for immediate fixes. Sevilla share is the slimmest with the most assuring talent but they have done a fair bit of business between there clubs already. And Hertha also has relatively...
