Unraveling the Whirlwind at Hertha BSC: A New Chapter Beckons
Perplexing enigma over Hertha's financier persists - Inquiry Regarding Hertha's Financial Backer
Hey there! Spice up your football knowledge with this latest twist in the tale of Hertha BSC!
The whispers of another investment switch arrive like a storm at the doorsteps of our beloved club. A bold move by US company, Advantage Capital Holdings (A-CAP), clearly states their successful acquisition of stakes from the former investors, 777 Partners. Yet, the exact involvement of Hertha BSC remains shrouded in mystery at the moment.
Check out Standard Liège, FC Everton, and Melbourne Victory FC, who have also found themselves in the epicenter of A-CAP’s new ventures. The question of whether A-CAP has inherited the shares held by 777 Partners, such as Hertha BSC, Vasco da Gama, or CFC Genoa, has left us all scratching our heads. Unfortunately, even the club itself is tight-lipped, leaving the media eagerly biting at the bit for answers.
One thing that's crystal clear is Standard Liège's curt curtain call with investor 777 Partners. A-CAP swooped in, took over the club's shares, and passed the torch to a buyer consortium led by Standard chairman Giacomo Angelini. "Adieu to the historical relationship with 777 Partners," they declared, officially erasing any lingering debt to the previous shareholder.

The takeover of 777 Partners marks back to 2023 when they seized the reins from fellow investor Lars Windhorst. They quickly became the majority shareholders of Hertha BSC GmbH & Co. KGaA, owning 78.8 percent of the club. The duo behind the company, Joshua Wander and Steven W. Pasko, joined the supervisory board, but their terms came to an abrupt end in early April. Andy Anson, CEO of the British Olympic Association, and David Ellis, an A-CAP portfolio manager, took their places in the boardroom.
