Unraveling the Whispers over Hertha BSC's New Owner
Enigma Surrounding the Unknown Backer of Hertha Berlin Soccer Club - Investigation Uncovers Secret Backer of Hertha Berlin Football Club
Hey there, sports fans! Let's talk about the latest buzz surrounding Hertha BSC, the Berlin-based football powerhouse in the Bundesliga. A new chapter may be unfolding for this legendary team as their current investors, 777 Partners, seem to be parting ways with some of their clubs, like Standard Liège, FC Everton, and Melbourne Victory FC. But here's the twist: it's mysterious whether Hertha BSC is among the clubs changing hands.
You know the drill; A-CAP, the US company in question, has completed transactions with 777 Partners' clubs, but Hertha's neither confirming nor denying their involvement. As for other clubs under 777 Partners' umbrella, like Vasco da Gama and CFC Genoa, their future is as foggy as a Berlin winter night.
Standard Liège's tale is a bit clearer, though. The chapter with 777 Partners is closed. A-CAP swooped in and handed off the shares to a buyer consortium led by Standard's CEO, Giacomo Angelini. In the words of A-CAP, "this marks the end of 777 Partners' historical involvement in the club," giving it a fresh start sans any debt to the former shareholder.
The story takes us back to 2023 when 777 Partners took over from Lars Windhorst and served as the majority shareholder of Hertha BSC GmbH & Co. KGaA, holding 78.8 percent of the shares. The masterminds behind this dynamic duo, Joshua Wander and Steven W. Pasko, joined Hertha's supervisory board. However, they vacated their seats at the board's beginning in April. Andy Anson, CEO of the British Olympic Association, and David Ellis, a portfolio manager at A-CAP, stepped in to fill their shoes.
All of this begs the question: who will be the new face behind Hertha's curtain? The enrichment data remains unclear on this point, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for updates as this story unfolds. Until then, stay tuned for more twists and turns in the world of football finance!
