SAF do Vasco: 777 Partners lamenta posição 'beliciosa' e ataques públicos da associação

A 777 Partners se manifestou publicamente após a decisão que afastou a empresa do comando da SAF do Vasco. Em nota oficial, os norte-americanos lamentaram a posição “beliciosa” e os ataques públicos do associativo.

A 777 Partners ainda não foi notificada sobre a decisão da Justiça do Rio. Porém, publicamente, a empresa estadunidense denominou a decisão como “aberração jurídica” e “sem nenhum embasamento legal”.

CONFIRA A NOTA DA 777 PARTNERS NA ÍNTEGRA:
“A 777 Partners recebeu com surpresa e indignação, por meio dos veículos de comunicação, a decisão, em caráter provisório, de afastar a empresa do comando do Vasco SAF.

continua após a publicidade

A liminar, proferida durante a noite em um caso no qual não tivemos acesso aos autos para responder legitimamente, é uma aberração jurídica e coloca em xeque não apenas o futuro do Vasco da Gama, mas o sistema do futebol brasileiro como um todo. Somos investidores internacionais, confiamos no Brasil e na Lei da SAF, projeto criado para permitir a recuperação de grandes clubes por meio de injeção de capital e gestão profissional.

Desde a aquisição de 70% das ações da Vasco SAF, não deixamos de cumprir uma única cláusula contratual com o CRVG, injetamos mais de R$310 milhões no caixa, aporte essencial para iniciar um projeto de reconstrução do clube. Formamos um novo Vasco, onde os salários de atletas e funcionários são pagos em dia, credores são respeitados e dívidas são quitadas, fatos raros no futebol brasileiro.

O trabalho de reconstrução é agora suspenso por uma decisão monocrática, sem nenhum embasamento legal e motivada pelos desejos egoístas da nova administração. O episódio, ainda que em caráter liminar, certamente trará efeitos negativos para o time de futebol.

A insegurança jurídica provocada pelo fato ameaça também o futuro do futebol brasileiro. Não há dúvidas de que trará consequências desastrosas para a Lei da SAF. A pergunta que fica é: que empresa terá coragem para investir milhões de dólares em uma SAF com o risco de perder o poder de comando do dia para a noite em uma canetada, sem ter cometido uma única infração contratual?

Lamentamos profundamente a posição belicosa e intransigente dos novos dirigentes do CRVG, em especial de seu presidente, que nunca se dispôs a discutir soluções para o Vasco no foro adequado, as reuniões do Conselho de Administração da SAF.

Enquanto fomos atacados publicamente pelos novos representantes da associação, seguimos trabalhando diuturnamente pelo Vasco e honrando todas as nossas obrigações. Há uma semana, por exemplo, anunciamos o maior contrato de patrocínio da história centenária do clube.

Queremos reafirmar nosso compromisso com o Vasco e sua enorme torcida, logo que as condições para que o processo de reconstrução do clube sejam restabelecidas, com a reversão da decisão.

Reiteramos nossa confiança na Justiça e nas leis do Brasil e temos absoluta certeza de que a absurda liminar será derrubada quando a 777 Partners for notificada e puder apresentar a defesa no processo.”

Pep's a fan: Man City now willing to make £70m January bid for Real Madrid star

Manchester City are now willing to make a £70m January bid for an “absolutely incredible” Real Madrid star, with Pep Guardiola personally a fan.

Man City looking to boost title push by signing new forward

Man City have bounced back from their 2-1 loss at Newcastle United by winning their last two Premier League games on the spin, but they haven’t made easy work of it, scraping past Leeds United 3-2 courtesy of a late Phil Foden winner.

City then travelled to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham and raced into a 5-1 lead, but they only just managed to get over the line, with the hosts fighting back to 5-4, which will be a worrying sign for Guardiola.

Conceding six goals in the last two matches, against two of the weaker sides in the Premier League, suggests the Blues could do with strengthening their defence in January, and a new right-back is of interest, with Newcastle’s Tino Livramento being identified as a target.

However, Guardiola is also eager to upgrade his attacking options, with a report from Spain revealing Real Madrid star Rodrygo is one of the Man City manager’s top targets for the January transfer window.

City are determined to make a move for the Brazilian, with it being revealed they are willing to make a €80m (£70m) offer for his services, and Guardiola believes the forward would be a perfect fit in his system.

The 24-year-old’s agents have been working to secure their client a move away from the Spanish club this winter, offering him to a number of top Premier League clubs, but the Blues are making the most decisive moves to get a deal done.

"Absolutely incredible" Rodrygo may need fresh start

The Brazil international has been a fantastic servant to Real Madrid, with journalist Bence Bocsak praising him for the impact he’s made in the Champions League.

However, the former Santos man, who is regarded as one of the best wingers in the world, may be in need of a fresh start, given that he has now gone 31 games without a goal for the La Liga side, which is the worst streak ever for a Real Madrid attacker.

That’s not to say the Osasco-born forward wouldn’t make an impact at the Etihad Stadium, however, as he has previously shown a keen eye for goal, chipping in with 68 goals and 53 assists in 286 matches for the Spanish side.

Man City now favourites to sign "incredible" £88m star, Pep's captivated by him

City have taken the lead in the race for a Premier League star, with Pep Guardiola a big fan.

ByDominic Lund Dec 2, 2025

£70m would be a huge fee to pay for a player in such poor form though, and Man City should test the waters with a lower offer to begin with.

IPL auction: Green could be biggest buy, but can't cross INR 18 crore mark

CSK and KKR are best placed to break the bank for Cameron Green, but a new IPL rule prevents the player from being paid more than INR 18 crore

Nagraj Gollapudi03-Dec-20258:03

Will KKR go all-out to get Cameron Green in?

IPL mini auctions have had record paydays for overseas players in the past, and Cameron Green could take that trend forward come December 16.Green has been tipped to become the most expensive buy at the upcoming IPL auction because both Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who have the highest purses (INR 64.3 crore and INR 43.4 crore respectively), are expected to put in strong bids for the allrounder.In 2023, Mitchell Starc was bought by KKR for INR 24.75 crore, minutes after Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) acquired Pat Cummins for 20.5 crore, making him the first player to breach the INR 20-crore mark at an IPL auction. Those overshadowed the INR 18.5 crore Punjab Kings (PBKS) had bid for Sam Curran in the previous mini auction in 2023.Related

Green in line for IPL payday; Maxwell, Moeen opt out

At the 2023 auction, Green became the second-most expensive buy when Mumbai Indians (MI) had bought him at INR 17.5 crore. MI went on to trade Green to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) a year later for the same price. In his two IPL seasons so far, in 2023 and 2024, Green has played 29 matches, scoring 707 runs at a strike rate of 153.70.He has listed himself at the maximum base price of INR 2 crore for the latest auction.While he could become a millionaire again, it won’t cross INR 20 crore, since the maximum fee cannot exceed INR 18 crore. This will apply even if the bid is higher than that number.That is because of the new “maximum fee” rule that the IPL brought in last year to address the collective concern of franchises that some overseas players were registering exclusively at mini auctions to exploit the supply-demand imbalance. Consequently, the IPL put in the maximum-fee rule where the overseas player cannot be paid more than INR 18 crore, which was the highest slab for franchises retaining players ahead of the 2025 mega auction.Cameron Green winds up for a big hit•BCCI

If the bid exceeded the INR 18-crore mark, the additional money, the IPL said, would be utilised by the BCCI for player welfare. In a note to franchises last year, the IPL said: “Any overseas player’s auction fee at small auction will be lower than the highest retention price [of INR 18 crore] and the highest auction price at the big auction. In case the highest auction price at the big auction is INR 20 crore, then INR 18 crore will be the cap. If the highest auction price at big auction is INR 16 crore, then the cap will be INR 16 crore.”The rule in place going forward is that the auction for the player will continue as normal till the player is sold, and the final auction amount will be charged to the auction purse. “The incremental amount over INR 16 or 18 crore, as the case may be, will be deposited with BCCI. The incremental amount deposited with BCCI will be utilised towards players’ welfare.”The maximum-fee rule, though, will not be applicable to Indian players, who will get the actual bid money, which will be deducted from franchise purse.A total of 77 slots are available to be filled at the auction including 31 for overseas players. There are 16 capped Indian players in the longlist, which will be pruned once franchises submit their final wishlist to the IPL by December 5.

Cássio toma decisão sobre futuro e planeja último ato pelo Corinthians

MatériaMais Notícias

Cássio não vai permanecer no Corinthians. O goleiro tomou a decisão de deixar o clube onde atua desde 2012. Com contrato até o fim desta temporada, o camisa 12 agora trabalha em busca da rescisão do seu vínculo com o Timão, que vai até o fim do ano.

O atleta possui uma proposta do Cruzeiro para atuar nas próximas três temporadas e a ideia é entrar em um consenso com a diretoria corintiana para ser liberado na janela do meio do ano. O departamento de futebol da equipe alvinegra, no entanto, não pretende liberar o profissional sem receber alguma quantia em troca.

Cássio e a atual administração do Corinthians, que é liderada pelo presidente Augusto Melo, nunca se entenderam. Inclusive, esse foi um dos motivos principais para que o goleiro optasse por encerrar a sua história no time do Parque São Jorge. Primeiro, ele se sentiu exposto como líder do elenco, já que no início da temporada muitos erros de planejamento da direção respingaram no campo. Depois, ele não gostou da condução nas conversas pela renovação do contrato. Já que os corintianos, inicialmente, ofereceram um salário menor do que o jogador recebe hoje e com somente um ano a mais de vínculo.

Mesmo com os ruídos na relação, o ídolo do Timão entende que a sua imagem e serviços prestados dão a ele o direito de pedir para antecipar a liberação, principalmente por não haver mais clima para ele vestir a camisa alvinegra. Cássio entende que se não houver a rescisão amigável no meio do ano, a alternativa será o afastamento das atividades até o encerramento do vínculo, em dezembro, o que não ficaria bom para a gestão, que já precisa conviver com inúmeros problemas nos bastidores.

بعد أزمة صلاح.. جونسون يهاجم لاعب ليفربول: يرتكب الأخطاء ويفلت من العقاب بسبب اسمه

انتقد جلين جونسون لاعب ليفربول السابق، أحد لاعبي الفريق الإنجليزي مؤكدًا أنه يفلت من العقاب بسبب اسمه، ومؤكدًا أنه لم يكن قريبًا من أفضل مستوياته، ويرتكب الأخطاء وليس استثناءً.

وتلقى ليفربول هدفًا في الدقائق الأخيرة من مباراة ليدز يونايتد خلال مباراة الفريقين بالدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز، والتي حسمت بالتعادل 3-3، وتراجع بطل البريميرليج إلى المركز العاشر في جدول الترتيب.

بعد التعادل، هاجم محمد صلاح ناديه ليفربول ومدربه آرني سلوت، في مقابلة حادة مع الصحفيين، مدعيًا أنه “ألقي تحت الحافلة” ويتم الاستغناء عنه، بعد جلوسه على مقاعد البدلاء للمباراة الثالثة على التوالي.

واستهدف جونسون قائد النادي فيرجيل فان دايك، مشيرًا إلى أن الهولندي يفلت من العقاب بعد سلسلة من العروض المتواضعة.

وقال جونسون في تصريحات نشرتها صحيفة “ديلي ميل” البريطانية: “كان فيرجيل فان دايك مخطئًا تمامًا مثل إبراهيما كوناتي مؤخرًا، إن لم يكن أكثر، ولأن اسمه فان دايك، فإنه يفلت من العقاب”.

وأردف: “ما زلت أعتقد أنه لاعب عالمي، وكان كذلك لفترة طويلة، ولكن في الوقت الحالي، لم يكن قريبًا من أفضل مستوياته، وكذلك اللاعبون من حوله”.

وأضاف: “أعتقد أن كوناتي قد تم إلقاء اللوم عليه قليلاً، وهو أمر مفهوم لأنه ارتكب بعض الأخطاء مؤخرًا، ولكن الجميع كذلك، يستمر خط دفاع ليفربول بأكمله في ارتكاب الأخطاء، وفان دايك ليس استثناءً”.

وتابع: “ليفربول بحاجة إلى قلب دفاع جديد في يناير، أول لاعب يتبادر إلى ذهني هو مارك جويهي من كريستال بالاس”.

وواصل: “لا يزال من غير المؤكد ما إذا كان سينضم إلى نادٍ مثل ليفربول ويواصل التألق، لكنني أعتقد أنه بحاجة إلى منحه الفرصة لإثبات جدارته على أعلى مستوى، كما فعل مع منتخب إنجلترا”.

وأتم جونسون: “أعتقد أنه سيكون صفقة رائعة لليفربول، هم بحاجة ماسة إلى التعاقد مع بعض اللاعبين في يناير”.

Not just DCL: Leeds dud is becoming one of their worst signings in PL history

The doom and gloom currently engulfing Leeds United is strong.

At Elland Road this season, the Whites have looked like a competent Premier League outfit, in all fairness, as was showcased in their 2-1 win over West Ham United to close out October.

But, Daniel Farke and Co cannot rely on their home form all season long to keep them away from the dreaded relegation spaces, with their away record an abysmal read at the moment.

Only three of Leeds’ 11 points so far this season have been picked up on their disappointing travels, with all of their defeats on the road also seeing the top-flight newcomers offer up very little in an attacking capacity.

The 3-0 loss last time out at Brighton and Hove Albion was an alarming reminder of the gulf in quality between Leeds and the likes of Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls, with Leeds reduced to a relegation-fodder state at the Amex.

Strangely, though, Leeds have pulled off some memorable bits of business this summer that have stuck out amid all the hopelessness, with Noah Okafor already up to two goals at his new employers, as the Whites are usually prone to a transfer clanger or two.

Ranking Leeds' transfer business in recent history

Switzerland international, Okafor, has already been described as a “class difference-maker” by Leeds content creator Oscar Marrio for his goal-laden displays in West Yorkshire.

Successfully completing five dribbles against the rampant Seagulls, too, it will be interesting to see if the Whites can avoid the drop, courtesy of the risky £18m acquisition bombing down the flanks.

The likes of Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach have also stood out in midfield, after joining from Newcastle United and Hoffenheim respectively, with the energy that Okafor offers in spades also visible in this new duo.

Two Premier League strikes have also already been put away by the ex-Magpies star, and his Croat counterpart, with Longstaff even being labelled as “one of the best signings in the Premier League” this summer by journalist Daniel Storey.

Often, comments about Leeds’ recent purchases haven’t always been so complimentary, with the Whites’ summer business heading into 2022/23 – which ended in a pitiful Premier League relegation – sticking out as being full of blunders.

Luis Sinisterra certainly stands out as being a transfer deal gone wrong, with the £21m winger billed as an “animal” by ex-teammate Juan Cuadrado on this entry to England, only for the Colombian to score a weak five goals in the Premier League donning Leeds white, during what was an injury-ravaged stint.

The likes of Rasmus Kristensen, Tyler Adams, and many more around this same time period aren’t remembered fondly, either, as they all left the Leeds train at the earliest possible opportunity, after relegation was confirmed.

Another name that springs to mind is Helder Costa. Costing £12m to obtain under the great Marcelo Bielsa, he then only made an unmemorable 23 Premier League appearances in West Yorkshire.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be praying that he’s not recounted in the same dismissive manner down the line, as the ex-Everton marksman continues to struggle to find his goalscoring groove at Elland Road.

The former England international does have the bonus that he was acquired on a free transfer, so he doesn’t have a weighty Sinisterra-like price tag hanging above his head.

Still, with only one goal coming his way so far this season, he isn’t immune to pelters, with ex-Premier League scout Bryan King even stating recently that he isn’t the “right striker fit” for Leeds if they desperately crave goals to stave off the drop.

It’s too early to judge whether he’s an outright flop, though, but the early signs are concerning. He isn’t alone in being deemed a shaky summer signing, however.

Leeds flop could be seen as one of their worst signings

Heading into top-flight action this season, it was clear Leeds needed to successfully find a long-term replacement for Illan Meslier.

The Frenchman was so error-prone last campaign that £400k recruit Karl Darlow had to be thrown in for the latter matches of the campaign, so their promotion charge wasn’t sabotaged.

Unfortunately, Lucas Perri’s £13.9m arrival this summer from Lyon hasn’t instantly eased the goalkeeping nerves that plagued their Championship promotion story.

The Brazilian stopper joined the building having been branded as an “outstanding” shot-stopper by South American football expert Nathan Joyes, having collected a promising ten clean sheets last season in Ligue 1 action.

He started life in England with two clean sheets collected from his first three Premier League clashes, too, but he has looked worryingly ropey when Leeds have been under the cosh.

In particular, his showing away at Brighton would see journalist Adam Pope criticise the 27-year-old for the amount of “unnecessary” decisions he was making with the ball at his feet that just ramped up more pressure on the all-at-sea defenders on the South Coast.

Stats by Sofascore

The table above doesn’t lie, either, when looking at Pope’s comments, with Perri only managing to accurately complete 53% of his passes so far this season, as the likes of Jayden Bogle and Gabriel Gudmundsson were then put under far more strain than necessary at the Amex.

Moreover, Perri has the worst save percentage among the 21 goalkeepers to have played five or more games so far this season in the Premier League, with nine efforts being hammered past the new Leeds number one, despite only facing 18 total shots.

Amazingly, Leeds might well have just been better sticking it out with their trusty second-in-command from last season in Darlow, with the experienced Welshman managing to make 13 saves across his own span of five Premier League encounters.

At £13.9m, Perri is yet to live up to his high transfer fee, with the highly praised Longstaff even coming into the building for a lower fee himself, at the £12m range.

Even Meslier would come away from his 2022/23 efforts in the top-flight with a higher accurate pass percentage average next to his name, with a worry now that Leeds have forked out significant wads of cash on a ‘keeper who isn’t a noticeable upgrade on what they already had.

The same could be said about Calvert-Lewin, arguably, – if you remove talk of transfer fees – with golden-boot winning Joel Piroe up top now frozen out completely, despite collecting a blistering 19 strikes on the way to promotion being clinched.

Thankfully, Calvert-Lewin’s woes in front of goal have been regularly bailed out already by the likes of Okafor stepping up to the mark as a far more impactful new addition.

In between the sticks, though, it’s harder to go under the radar for your mistakes and errors, with a worry that more unconvincing performances from the £13.9m ‘keeper to come could result in Leeds hurtling straight back down to the second tier.

This would be a gigantic disappointment, with Perri once judged as a clean slate in goal, who could break away from the shoddy days of Meslier.
