It feels like, in their bid to take over Everton, 777 Partners just seem to suffer setback after setback.

If anything, their commitment to the cause must be commended, even if they remain a firm many are still unsure of as potential owners.

Having undergone immense scrutiny over the the whereabouts of their finances, desperately sought to bring in David Dein to ease their Premier League burden, and more recently taken flak from German fans for branding one side a ‘farm team’, it has been far from smooth sailing for the Miami-based outfit.

However, should they end up with the Toffees within their multi-club portfolio, it will have all been worth it.

There is a strange symbiotic relationship that seems to have formed in recent months regarding the club and interested party too, with the former almost reliant on the financial boost would be set to receive now.

So, it will mark a worry to see the latest comments from journalist Paul Brown, who told GIVEMESPORT about the unofficial time frame that 777 Partners have set.

He noted: ‘It’s interesting to see that 777 Partners have started putting out briefings to people that they’re not willing to let this drag on forever, and they won’t continue to fund the club with £20million loans beyond January.

‘I suspect that is both a bit of a face-saving measure if this falls through and also an attempt to try and put some pressure on the Premier League to get things moving.

‘I don’t think it will work because the Premier League doesn’t work like that, so we’ll just have to see, but I don’t think anything can now really happen until the new year.’

What teams are owned by 777 Partners?

Although the many controversies surrounding 777 Partners might make Evertonians apprehensive, and rightly so, the benefits of joining their multi-club model could be huge.

After all, even though he was forced to recant some of his statements, their sporting director Johannes Spors had admitted that the likes of Hertha Berlin and Standard Liege would stand to help produce talents for the Toffees.

These are just two of the numerous sides they own, spanning all across Europe, South America and Australia.

The latter boasts Melbourne Victory, who are one of the more renowned sides from that side of the world. Perhaps they might soon play host to Everton’s next Tim Cahill.

Then, venturing into Brazil sees Vasco da Gama outlined, again offering another avenue that might give them an edge against other Premier League competition.

However, it is across Europe where the likes of Sean Dyche and Kevin Thelwell will be most excited, given sides like Genoa and Sevilla offer options to supplement the aforementioned German and Belgian sides.

Even Red Star FC in France, although only in the third tier, could see the latest French wonderkids emerge, given their status as the fourth-oldest side in the country.

When gazing upon this sprawling portfolio, it is hard not to get excited by the prospect of Everton sitting as the spearhead. However, as often seems to be the way with both the club and 777 Partners, things are never that easy.
