Even if it was only bought a few weeks ago, Standard de Liège is no longer the youngest in the 777 Partners galaxy. Indeed, the American investment fund has just offered itself a new gift: the Red Star Football Club.
However, this takeover is not a very big surprise, since the rumor had already been circulating for a short time. It had even insistently reached the ears of Parisian supporters, who had tried to prevent this takeover with banners and actions in the stands. In vain, since it is now recorded.
“The choice of 777 Partners stems from a long process during which Patrice Haddad (the president of the Ile-de-France club, editor’s note) identified and selected among the buyers who had declared themselves to be the one with the most assets and ambitions, as well as than a long-term vision. 777 Partners was thus chosen both to accelerate the development of the club and its sporting ambition, but also for their understanding of the identity of Red Star FC, which for many years has made the club unique. on the club’s official website.
“We came to Red Star FC for everything this historic French football club has represented for 125 years,” explains Josh Wander, founder and managing partner of the group. “We fully respect the DNA of the club and our main ambition is to broaden its horizons while retaining what makes Red Star FC unique. We want to continue to develop the Marville training center in order to offer the club the best possible environment for young people and the first team. The short-term objective is to move up to Ligue 2 so that Red Star FC can return to its training center and finally be able to retain the fantastic talents of the Paris region, who will be at the heart of the club’s sporting project. »
