WANNABE Everton owners 777 Partners have suffered a double blow after being expelled from Brazilian and Belgian football.
The investment firm’s two leading figures, Josh Wander and Steve Pasko, were fired from the 777 board earlier this week.
And just hours after a Brazilian court suspended its ownership of Rio-based Vasco da Gama and requested an independent examination of its accounts, 777’s stake in Standard Liege was confiscated by the Belgian judiciary.
It follows allegations of money still owed for its acquisition in 2022.
Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri refuses to back out of the sale despite 777’s failure to meet Prem bosses’ financial demands.
Everton have consolidated their position in the Premier League with games remaining.
This was despite dropping points on two occasions throughout the campaign.

However, there was another two-point penalty for another breach of profit and sustainability rules.
