777 and Castore had a troubled past together. Due to problems with supply and delivery, Genoa, a club owned by 777, cancelled its multi-year contract with Castore after just one year.
However, the biggest source of contention for the sale would be the Villa Park debate. Villa has now ended its affiliation with the company and is looking for a new business partner for the upcoming campaign. The Toffees would want not to commit the same error.
The jersey, according to Aston Villa players, is having an effect on their play, and the Toffees don’t need anything else to detract from their on-field efforts. In an effort to avoid another high-profile issue, Castore is unlikely to repeat its error, but 777’s past interactions with the corporation could prevent them from rekindling their connection.
