777 Partners is the new owner of Standard. Roland Duchâtelet has already indicated that he has been asked to join the red and white story, but another old acquaintance also made an attempt to return.
Sports/Football Magazine know that Luciano D’Onofrio sat around the table with Bruno Venanzi in September 2021. The former sporting director of the Rouches – he had already been fired from Antwerp FC at that time – did not want to buy the club, but made other promises.
He proposed, for example, to pump twenty million euros into the ailing Standard. Venanzi ultimately decided not to accept the proposal. The main reason: the (former) chairman had no knowledge of the origin of the money. In any case, it was his intention to look for and find an effective buyer.
