No, the 777 Partners saga is not over, and is just getting wilder and wilder. By @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself for @josimarfootball.bsky.social.

Also in here - how Leadenhall is demanding 777 Partners apply search terms in discovery including “sham” “sucker” “dumb” “dipshit” “bankrupt” “loser” and “asshole” - how lawyers for 777 Partners claim they are going unpaid - and what Russell Slade has to do with anything

New. Giacomo Angelini may be the new owner of Standard de Liège but his ‘takeover’ was funded entirely by A-CAP. How is this possible, and what does it mean for the Pro League club? By @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/09/03/s...

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social, following an initial investigation by South African media Currency: "Waka Waka", the 2010 WC official song, was a huge hit for Shakira. All proceeds were supposed to go to charity. But where did the money go? josimarfootball.com/2025/08/19/l...

Uefa hevar seg over rettsapparatet i idretten, hevdar dei ikkje er omfatta av menneskerettane, og tyr til gjengjelding mot klubbar som har vunne mot dei i retten. Korleis skal me eigentleg karakterisera ein slik organisasjon? www.ba.no/i-ordboka-fi...

New. The 2010 Fifa World Cup official anthem “Waka Waka” was meant to raise a fortune for African charities, but no money has been forthcoming since 2014. Josimar can tell where some of the missing millions have gone. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/08/19/l...

Norges Bank Investment Management has made several hundred millions dollars on their shares in Evolution.

Why is it that Leicester City FC did not have the name of a sponsor on their jersey when they played against Sheffield Wednesday this weekend? @josimarfootball.bsky.social might have an answer for this. josimarfootball.com/2025/07/21/r...

On the subject of how UEFA is fine with some clubs from the same MCO entities taking part in its competitions, and not some others, and how the "blind trust" mechanism was suggested by UEFA themselves: josimarfootball.com/2025/07/15/b...

This article can be accessed free of charge until tomorrow noon UK time, as are all articles published by @josimarfootball.bsky.social. Once again, thank you to all the readers who responded to our appeal last month and have enabled us to carry on doing this type of work.

New. Money-laundering, scamming, cyber slavery compounds and appalling human rights abuses are no obstacles for Premier League clubs looking for betting partners – or the UK regulator. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/29/p...

New. Uefa’s integrity partner Sportradar consistently claims that it doesn’t sell data to unlicensed gambling operators. But its annual report states that it generates significant revenue from unlicensed gambling. By @journoandy.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/22/b...

New. Leicester were set to unveil their kit for the new season last week, but the announcement was postponed. Was it because their new sponsor KBET is a hitherto unknown – and illegal – online bookmaker? By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/21/r...

Hva er offside? Hva er VAR? Første gang på fotballkamp kan være en forvirrende affære, men muligheten for å bli revet med av fargene, følelsene og fellesskapet er stor. Av Karoline S. Bakken josimar.no/artikler/for...

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social: how did a Cheltenham solicitor become a "person with significant control" of Nottingham Forest and a director of Girona? Welcome to UEFA's "blind trusts" trick, which enables multiple club owners to bend UEFA's rules on MCO. josimarfootball.com/2025/07/15/b...

New. Are you a club owner looking for how to bend the rules of multi-club ownership? Just ask Uefa, and they will tell you how to circumvent their own rules. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/15/b...

Another example of that is the 1xbet investigation we did with @josimarfootball.bsky.social which Search Party turned into an excellent YouTube video that currently has 640k views, way more than we could have reached individually www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4f5...

New for @josimarfootball.bsky.social: "zero f*** given" - how illegal betting operators, many Premier League sponsors among them, were promoting their business in London last week, right under the nose of the regulator which banned them. josimarfootball.com/2025/07/07/b...

New: Sanctioned? Fined? Banned? Not a problem if you’re a sports betting company eager to do business. Illegal bookmakers linked to Premier League clubs recently set up stalls at a gambling conference in London. By @philippeauclair.bsky.social josimarfootball.com/2025/07/07/b...

Fantastic to see the work we at @josimarfootball.bsky.social did on PSG, Barca and CAF betting sponsor 1XBet with @bellingcat.com being turned into this mind-altering video by Search Party. It looks and feels crazy, but it is all true.

A lovely way for Dutch newspaper de Volkstrant to describe @josimarfootball.bsky.social: "a flea in the fur of football administrators". Bedankt! Our appeal to save Josimar has 6 days to go. We're nearly there, thank to the generous support of so many. Link ⬇️ www.volkskrant.nl/sport/josima...

Het is niet de beste week voor Gianni Infantino. In stadions noch op televisie kijkt er een hond naar zijn toernooitje, en nu is ook nog een van de weinige publicaties gered die voortdurend onderzoekt wat Infantino en de FIFA allemaal voor gekke dingen uitspoken. Mooi nieuws!

Gratulerer til @josimarfootball.bsky.social med å ha nådd målet sitt, og forhåpentligvis vil flere støtte dem fremover 🙂 Vi trenger god journalistikk som får frem problemer som korrupsjon, maktmisbruk, menneskerettighetsbrudd og mer, og det gjelder også i sport som i samfunnet ellers.

Når nokon brukar uttrykket "svare ut" veit du at det som kjem etterpå er svada. Det er ingenting som heiter å "svare ut". Du svarar, eller så svarar du ikkje. Her brukar NFFs generalsekretær Karl-Petter Løken enormt mange ord utan å seie noko som helst.

Få det på! Ingen grunn til å stoppe ved 1000 heller.
