Can we take a moment to laugh heartily at Everton?
- Thread starter King of Otters
- Start date
When I've watched them he has been their best player (only 1,5 games, though). Danjuma and Beto looked a level above the rest this weekend, imo.

Not sure if this is good news for Everton. 777 Partners seem a bit shady.

They have stakes in the following clubs:
Genoa - 100%
Standard Liege - 100%
Red Star FC - 100%
Everton - 94.1%
Vasco de Gama - 70%
Melbourne Victory - 70%
Hertha Berlin - 64.7%
Sevilla - 7.5%
AFAIK they haven't done anything bad with those clubs,.,.,.,
Its bad for them. Like really bad. Moshiri wasnt good but his final act of selling to this group might be the cherry on the pile of shit for his ownership.

Everton and West Ham United: Fraud claims emerge regarding potential takeovers
Read this news on OneFootball.
onefootball.com
Serious fraud and extortion claims have been made regarding the private investment group linked with the takeovers of Everton and West Ham United.
Investigative journalists Paul Brown and Philippe Auclair have published a damning report which exposes the dark side of 777 Partners.
They claim fraud, kidnapping, extortion, predatory lending and racketeering are among the things their companies are accused of in United Stated court papers.
One of their founders also has a drug trafficking conviction, further highlighting the alleged shady nature of the organisation.
777 has already forged links with several other clubs worldwide including Sevilla, Genoa, Vasco de Gama and Standard Liege.
Hertha BSC and Melbourne Victory FC are other clubs listed in what has become a growing global football empire.
However, with 777 reportedly ‘haemorrhaging money’, questions have been raised about how they are funding their operations.
The recent news that Sevilla had to put all their players up for sale in a bid to clear a €90 million debt intensified the scrutiny on 777’s operations.
Given that numerous Premier League clubs carry large amounts of debt, it is unclear why Sevilla’s financial situation is seemingly so desperate.
777’s interest in acquiring a foothold in the English top flight will clearly be concerning to anyone with a vested interest in the clubs concerned.
Everton fans are desperate to see the back of owner Farhad Mashiri, but the allegations made against 777 are hugely concerning.
West Ham and Sheffield United are other English clubs that have been linked with 777, but nothing has come to fruition just yet.
With ongoing reports emerging of unpaid bills and late payments, 777 has plenty of questions to answer about their suitability to be involved in football.
While it is unlikely they would pass the Premier League’s Owners’ and Directors’ Test given the nature of the allegations, 777’s involvement in football elsewhere is hugely concerning.

Apparently Standard Liege fans have been protesting about lack of investment.
If this passes/has passed the PL’s test, serious questions to be asked by the government & the FA. This just scratches the surface of them. They shouldn’t be involved in football, period. I fear for the clubs they are at right now.

They can hardly object to anyone having opened the door to the Saudis who are murderous, barbaric monsters.

maybe they’re buying clubs that are near to relegation as the price point is better? Can’t avoid relegation in some cases.

Pretty sure the PL initially rejected the Saudis before Boris and co sent some of their cronies in to ensure it went through...

Boris got involved but a lot of it was about this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeoutQ
