The choice of staying as we are or being bought by 777 is a bit like asking me if I want to be kicked in the balls or punched in the face. Punched in the face. So, 777 it is then?

Cornish Steve Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 A less than flattering article about 777 Partners in today's New York Times. What concerns me is the total lack of transparency about finances. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/10/world/europe/everton-777-premier-league.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 The Premier League could do with a good dose of transparency. If some of the owners are private entities and therefore not obliged to publish financial results, maybe the footballing authorities themselves should demand a level of transparency consistent with GAAP regulations.

Formby Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Any chance Moshiri could give Sheikh Jassim a call before this goes through? He could buy us at a fraction of the cost he was going to pay United. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game is in big trouble. Do you think the game runs the risk of legitimising human rights abuses by accepting the money? UAE (City) and Saudi (Newcastle) have records quite as bad as Qatar's, yet no one seems to say a peep. Or do you think engagement with the PL improves the situation because they are under the spotlight? Places like Dubai attract huge investment and tourism. No one cares about the rights of south Asian construction workers there. A bit off topic, really, but where do you look for investment that's clean?

They are highly proffessional.....' This is kind of what we have all been calling for for a number of years. The landscape has definatly changed regarding the investments that can be made in football. We, probabley more so than other fans base, realise that FFP does tie your hands behind your back, you can't simply spend to try and improve the club (unless you get very lucky) big investment in 'better' players simply become a massive gamble for clubs outside the established top 6 (a few who are simply there because FFP didn't used to exist). The modern era is not about simply pumping money in to player transfers and wages (can only do this for a short period before it catches up with you), its now more about generating money and maximising revenue streams. If 777 are all about using sound and sustainable commercial and business accument with top proffessional at the helm then with the new stadium now just around the corner - this has to be the perfect time for clever business savy people to get involved with a club and make the most of the oppertunities that are ahead of Everton. A bit finger cross, but would be the same with any new owner. Now all I really want is 777 to get the best deal possible for themselves (which as Everton's new owners means the best deal for the club), If 777 get us on the 'cheap', it should be to the clubs benefit as less debt burden and thus interest payments etc on the owning entity. I now want to see Moshiri taking as big a financial hit as possible and thus seeing as much money written off as possible through this sale.

Honestly all investment is going to come with risks with the amount of money involved now.
