But, but, but Usmanov has nothing to do with Everton...

It's basically a toy for them!

It still amuses me that people think this, it's usually followed by "when they get bored" and it's complete and utter nonsense. They are businessmen and the ultimate aim is making money and lots of it. They are playing the long game, and investing every single penny the club makes back into the club. The aim is a big one, they want to make City the biggest club in their world. That is the scope of their ambition. It might never happen, but they certainly have the will and the money to try. It was never about willy waving, or sports washing. Just rich people with very deep pockets, good advisers and the patience to wait 20 years, hoping to build a football empire that will fill the coffers when the oil starts running out. City are nothing more than an investment, just one that will take longer to mature. Anyone waiting for them to get bored are going to be disappointed.

This is basket-case stuff if he is on the Board.

Looks more like the FSB.

Where is Ussie's mate Valdimir?

Looking on the posts in the replies a couple are asking if he’s now on the board. I think this was muted last week that there would be a couple of additions to the board

He's liked one of those questions!

Thats is what happened with Man City backed by Arab billions.

Yep if we had the Kings Dock stadia - they may have invested in us - thanks BK -- 40 million short he would not get another investor etc his train set,.....

Cost us imo....

So would our stadium have been where the Echo Arena now is? Was that the plan?

Yes and we would have had a stadium with a roof so concerts could take place in it.

We all know how that ends!

Whats going on then?

Some suggestions Usmanov's nephew and nearest relation to inherit a lot of his wealth is going onto our board. So there's the succession plan if Usmanov dies.

I think this lad is only in his 20's as well, and with the joy of compounding will likely end up richer than Usmanov.
