A negociação não é simples. Atualmente, o meia tem contrato com o Aston Villa, da Inglaterra… … até 06/26 e está emprestado ao Al Duhail, do Catar, até 06/24. Philippe nunca foi de falar muito publicamente sobre o seu sonho de voltar ao Vasco, porém, entre os mais próximos, os relatos são de declarações de amor e um grande desejo de conquistas com a camisa do Vasco.

Josh Wander e Steve Pasko teriam sido demitidos dos quadros do 777 Football Group, com Don Dransfield assumindo a gestão
Josh Wander e Steve Pasko foram afastados do quadro de funcionários da 777 Partners Sports Group. Quem comanda a divisão esportiva da empresa norte-americana agora é Don Dransfield, que já fez parte do Grupo City. If all the talk this week has been about Everton potentially having to go into administration as a result of doubts over their takeover by 777 Partners, it is actually the Miami firm itself which is fighting for its future having called in the receivers, as confirmed in an internal email signed by owners Josh Wander and Steven Pasko, which Josimar has seen, and which was shared with staff on Thursday. Ian Ratner and Ron Glass of B. Riley Advisory Services have been brought in “to take on governance roles within our organisation”. What these roles will be with 777 Partners may be inferred by their past records. Mr Ratner lists “bankruptcy advisory services” and “bankruptcy litigation” among his areas of expertise, while Mr Glass, who has also worked as a liquidating agent and a receiver, quotes “bankruptcy proceedings” and “crisis management” in his. Another B. Riley executive, Mark Shapiro, has been called in to oversee the company’s operations as ‘interim Chief Operating Officer’. Mr Shapiro too has a wealth of experience in “restructuring” and bankruptcy proceedings . Josimar understands that Ron Glass was onsite at the offices of 777 Partners in Miami on Friday shortly after the news of his involvement broke, and that both Wander and Pasko have already been removed from the board of the entity which runs all of their football operations. Nutmeg Acquisitions LLC, a Delaware-based company which controls Red Star FC, Genoa CFC, Standard de Liège, Hertha Berlin and Vasco da Gama as well as 777’s minority shareholding in Sevilla FC and Melbourne Victory (*), is now being run by operating partner Don Dransfield, formerly of City Football Group. Such dramatic news will not come as a great surprise to Josimar readers, but the suddenness with which the sprawling empire of companies operated by 777 Partners appears to be crumbling still comes as a shock. In fact, it is important to note here just how little is left of that empire. Wander and Pasko have long claimed that 777 Partners operated 60 companies in a variety of sectors. It does so no longer. The first domino to fall was the group’s Australian budget airline Bonza, which fell into administration after its fleet of planes was repossessed by AIP Capital, until recently a 777 subsidiary itself before it became part of a larger entity controlled by Kenneth King of A-CAP. As part of this deal, 777 lost control of all of its aircraft leasing operations and the rights to its remaining purchase order with Boeing, and its name promptly disappeared from the aerospace manufacturer’s order book. 777 Partners also has a Canadian budget airline on its books called Flair. But in another deal involving King, it has been forced to reduce its shareholding from 25 per cent to less than ten. All this is significant because until recently, King was 777’s biggest backer and only remaining source of funding. That all changed when the firm’s Bermuda-based reinsurer 777re suffered a credit ratings downgrade in February of this year. As a result, King and the insurance companies under the A-CAP umbrella were forced to “disinvest” from 777 Partners. But King, who has lent over 2.5 billion US dollars to the ailing group, is also under scrutiny from regulators looking into his insurance business in the USA. So what exactly is left of 777 Partners? The football clubs, though loss-making and mired in debt, remain under the firm’s control. So do the structured settlement businesses in which they first made their name. There is a lease-to-own company based in Tampa, Florida which offers customers an alternative to traditional credit, a litigation finance division which has itself been the subject of lawsuits, some fintech investments, and stakes in the British Basketball League and its flagship franchise the London Lions, both of which are loss-making. In short, not much of the empire which once claimed to manage 10 billion dollars in assets remains. The upshot of all this is that the attempted takeover of Everton by 777 Partners, which current owner Farhad Moshiri had agreed on back in September 2023, is utterly dead in the water, and the financial picture of the firm as a whole remains precarious. Earlier this week, a 777 Partners insider told Josimar that “no more money [was] coming in” – or going out either, as is exemplified by the dire situation of Standard de Liège, which, according to multiple Belgian sources, has stopped processing all but the most essential payments and now faces the prospect of repossession, following complaints filed in Liège by the club’s former owner Bruno Venanzi and the shareholders of the Immobilière du Standard, the company which had sold the stadium to 777. Neither had received the second tranches of the payments 777 was bound to make to them by 20 April. A judge will decide whether to seize 777’s Belgian assets or not by 15 May. Ultras who had been demonstrating against the firm’s involvement with their club for months came in their hundreds to the club’s training ground on Friday 10 May and prevented their players from going to the Stade de Sclessin, where they were supposed to play against Westerlo that evening. The match was cancelled as a result of their action. Genoa CFC, which still is in debt to the tune of 210 million euro despite getting a 65 percent tax rebate from the Italian Inland Revenue, is also said to be going through a delicate period. The doyen of calcio announced it would not apply for a UEFA licence for the 2024-25 season. “We considered whether to ask for the licence until the last moment”, Genoa’s CEO Andres Blasquez said. “We preferred not to when we knew we had no chance of taking part in [UEFA competitions], avoiding unnecessary sacrifices.
Dirigente do Vitória de Guimarães comenta sobre o técnico: ‘Não tenho muito a dizer sobre Álvaro Pacheco. Não há nada para dizer’
O Vasco segue em busca de um técnico para esta temporada. O nome mais forte do momento é Álvaro Pacheco, que atualmente está defendendo as cores do Vitória de Guimarães, de Portugal. Diante desta possibilidade de mercado, o Vascaino.net entrou em contato com o diretor de comunicação do clube português, Pedro Rocha, que preferiu desconversar sobre o assunto. Questionado sobre uma possível transferência do profissional para o Gigante da Colina, Rocha não desmentiu, mas também não confirmou. “Não tenho muito a dizer sobre Álvaro Pacheco. Não há nada para dizer”, afirmou o diretor. Não vai ficar no time português e acerto com o Vasco é uma possibilidade Conversamos com pessoas da imprensa portuguesa e alguns jornalistas nos garantiram que Pacheco não seguirá no time português. Portanto, o Gigante da Colina pode ser o destino do técnico. Fonte: Vascaino.net
Payet tem 4 vitórias em 7 jogos como titular em São Januário
Diante de um início ruim no Campeonato Brasileiro, com quatro derrotas em cinco jogos, o Vasco tem um bom motivo para acreditar em um bom resultado no domingo, na partida contra o Vitória: Payet, craque do time, treinou como titular durante a semana e deve começar jogando. O camisa 10 perdeu os primeiros jogos da competição por conta de uma lesão, voltou contra o Criciúma na quarta rodada, em São Januário, mas voltou a ficar fora dos dois jogos recentes, contra Fortaleza (Copa do Brasil) e Athletico (Brasileirão). Payet tem bons números nos jogos em que foi titular em São Januário. Ao todo, até aqui foram sete jogos na escalação inicial, com quatro vitórias, um empate (o 3 a 3 com o Água Santa, pela Copa do Brasil, no qual o Vasco se classificou nos pênaltis) e duas derrotas. A imagem da goleada para o Criciúma há duas semanas é recente, mas o retrospecto ainda é positivo. Nos jogos em que foi titular em São Januário, Payet tem dois gols e quatro assistências. Um dos momentos mais memoráveis com a camisa do Vasco foi no estádio, o gol de falta nos acréscimos que garantiu a vitória sobre o América Mineiro no ano passado. Na ocasião, no entanto, o francês saiu do banco. Sua estreia entre os 11 iniciais se deu logo em uma goleada: 5 a 1 sobre o Coritiba, na 24ª rodada do Brasileirão 2023. Na última vitória do Vasco por um placar elástico, lá estava a estrela de Payet: ele fez um gol e deixou duas assistências na goleada por 4 a 0 sobre a Portuguesa, pelo Carioca. Veja os gols: Vasco e Vitória se enfrentam neste domingo, às 18h30 (de Brasília), em São Januário. Com o início ruim no Brasileirão, o time cruz-maltino no momento ocupa a 17º colocação, com apenas três pontos. O Vitória vem logo atrás, na 18º posição, com um. Fonte: ge
