Where is the verb?

[Sepmre]

in the sentence below:

When a club of Liverpool’s history and tradition pull off a treble of cup wins, as they did in 2001, with the FA, League and UEFA trophies under Gérard Houllier, you are bound to feel a tremor of dread.


1- Is the verb "wins"?
2- so what's the function of "pull of"?
3-"a treble of cup", what does mean?


Thanks

The phrasal verb is "pull off".
Pull off - English Phrasal Verb - UsingEnglish.com

"a treble of cup wins" = winning three competitions in which the trophies are championship cups.

In your context 'win' is a noun, so 'a treble of wins' = three wins (three 'winning' times).

If the pull off is the verb, would you please tell me where is the subject?
I think that the subject would be "a club" if so, the verb "pull off" would have come with "s": pulls off. Am I righ?

It's fine with "pull off" or "pulls off" in BrE.

:up: I guess in AmE it's only pulls off that is correct.

Sometimes words such as 'police', 'family', 'team', 'club' etc. are used as plurals (with the corresponding form of the verb) when they are regarded as a group of individuals.

I think so.

Yes, "club" would be singular in AmE.
