They've landed a Belgian club with a transfer ban and ruined an Aussie airline... these sharks should NEVER have been allowed to circle Everton, writes IAN HERBERT

There's been something deeply questionable all along about the outfit called '777', the very worst manifestation of the chancers now alighting on British football, picking over what they have seen as the carcass of Everton. It's a measure of the dark place Everton are in that some supporters have seen them as saviours Farhad Moshiri's desperate wish to cash out from Goodison brought 777 circling like sharks 777 was accused last Friday of pledging £279million of cash which was not theirs, did not exist, or belonged to someone else - and Everton's name was dragged into the lawsuit It's a measure of the very dark place Everton have found themselves in that some supporters have actually viewed Wander and his 777 business partner, Steven Pasko, as saviours - and that questioning their legitimacy has not been universally popular. Genoa had to crowd-fund for a £4m training ground Wages have been going unpaid at Standard Liege, leading to a transfer ban on the Belgians That Wander has entered the picture and been permitted to linger on the Everton scene for so long is testament to the fact that Moshiri's attempts to sell the club have been just as disastrous as his attempts to run it – with two Premier League sanctions totalling an eight-point deduction for breaching spending rules this season. Bonza Airlines has collapsed into administration under 777 Partners' ownership Everton have had eight points deducted across two sanctions for breaching spending rules This historic club could go into administration with Moshiri no longer putting money in But it is possible that Everton – in debt to the tune of £650million, lacking access to capital and unable to repay creditors, with Moshiri no longer willing or able to put cash in - will be insolvent and enter financial administration before any such takeover takes place. Moshiri will win no acclaim for sparing the club of 777 Partners - their unsuitability has been evident all along Everton have dodged a bullet - there will be none of Wander's Tescofication or funny money The breathtaking view from the steep-sided stands – created with a far steeper gradient, or 'rake', than Arsenal's Emirates or West Ham's London Stadium – is designed to create an atmosphere with all the intensity of Goodison under lights.
