WANNABE Everton owners 777 Partners suffered a double blow as they were booted out of Brazilian AND Belgian football.
The investment firm’s two figureheads, Josh Wander and Steve Pasko, got axed from the 777 board earlier this week.

It follows allegations of money still owed from their takeover in 2022.
Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri refuses to give up on the sale, despite 777’s failure to meet Prem chiefs’ financial demands.
Everton did cement their spot in the Premier League with games to spare.
