Earlier this month, Josimar Football reported at length on 777 Partners and their murky association with a range of court cases in the US.
The revelations came after it was being reported back in April that 777 Partners were interested in a £600M takeover of Everton Football Club.
Key personnel in the US-based company, who already holds stakes in multiple clubs such as Sevilla, Hertha Berlin, Genoa and Red Star FC, have been implicated in severe allegations, including fraud, kidnapping, extortion, predatory lending and racketeering.
It’s been suggested that insiders at Goodison Park are heaving sighs of relief, firmly believing that Everton have ‘dodged a bullet’ with the fallout of the 777 deal. Despite a majority of Everton fans initially favouring a full takeover to remove Moshiri, the club’s leadership recognises the paramount need to find reputable owners to guide the club into the future.
