Following the Josh Wander news, we have lifted the paywall on some of our 777 Partners stories for you to enjoy. Kudos to @pbsportswriter and Philippe Auclair for reporting this story out. First up. josimarfootball.com/2023/07/…

The 777 football mystery - josimarfootball.com

Multiple club-owner 777 – a US private investors group – has a patchy record in honouring its financial commitments and is the subject of several court actions in the USA. So who are they, and where...

As Mark Walter’s insurers lent billions to his empire, they repeatedly rolled over short-term loans to sidestep capital rules. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

‘Rolling’ Loophole Helped Walter’s Insurers Skirt Capital Rules

On paper, it was supposed to be a six-month loan. In December 2018, one of sports mogul Mark Walter’s insurance companies sent $40 million to an undisclosed borrower.

That's a good point. Westview was a creation of the Russian ownership even though it didn't come into existence until after he had gone.

My West Upper Season Ticket was to go up from £1,250 to £4,000. I was informed in December 2021…..months before Roman was sanctioned.

Others played a much bigger role in shining a light on this mess. All I feel is relief. And a sense of anger at the various people who platformed and championed 777 and parroted everything they said without asking any serious questions whatsoever.

The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge for the Donetsk home game looked better than a normal Chelsea match from watching on the TV. Singing from all areas, as Miners Weekly points out. I presume there were fewer premium seats for starters.
Miners Weekly@Miners_WeeklyOct 14
It’s fantastic to see that fans in all areas today were creating atmosphere. It’s so unusual that people in central areas contribute to chanting. Fantastic effort by Shakhtar fans

Three years ago this month in a “Message to Evertonians” invoking Z-Cars and Alan Ball, Josh Wander said the fundamental underlying business performance of 777 Partners was strong. The company is now bankrupt and today he’s signalled he will plead guilty to charges of fraud.

A mere five days after Arteta signed one of the most lucrative managerial contracts in football, a £20m/year deal amid all manner of pageantry, the club staged a call to announce plans to cut 60 jobs - although there is the potential for this to come down independent.co.uk/sport/foot…

Arsenal cutting jobs just days after Mikel Arteta’s £80m deal is simply indefensible

The Premier League champions have told staff of plans to cut at least 60 jobs, writes Miguel Delaney, which completely goes against the club’s traditional values of ‘doing things the right way’
