777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

All a bit confusing, the council do appear to still own Finch Farm, but there is reference to land at Finch Farm in the R&M charge so we must still own some land there.

I've just checked this. We own the land below bounded red. That's what the charge will be against.

I did think we also owned the Freehold on Finch Farm but that's not the case, the whole facility is owned by LCC.

These guys are absolute dodgy cowboys but hey at least they aren't sponging money off of war criminals like the current bloke in charge.

Moshiri is a disaster that’s already happened.

True but this will just compound the issues further

War criminals? By association, not by deed.

It’s like saying all Germans are to blame for World War II, just because they were born German.

Sanctioned yes, as part of a reasonable response to the action of a war criminal, but Usmanov does not appear to be the driving force in the Ukraine conflict.

Usmanov is only rich because of Putin, so the association is so close I don't think it's an outrageous term to use.

They probably are. Just not off any war criminals that are currently in the UK government's bad books.

Hypothetical question:

If the war in Ukraine ended tomorrow, sanctions lifted and Moshiri could bring in Usmanov again, does he stay?

Honestly I would literally give these yank muppets a week to either put up or shut up and then the PL should be telling Moshiri, sorry Farhad we are not going to pass this, we just can't.

Don't know if that's true or not, but the 777-fed news stories yesterday didn't seem to jive with logic or reality.

and if they don’t and Moshiri doesnt plug that 20’odd mill shortfall next month then it’s administration , not looking good either way to be honest

I'm not sure he can, is he even allowed to move money around in the UK again?

That’s why I think the premiere league haven’t jibbed this 777 because although they’ll probably mess it up the other option is even worse

I can respect your general point, but given Usmanov's reported closeness to Putin I think that this is an unfair generalisation of my post.

EU court dismisses Russian oligarch Usmanov's appeal against sanctions

Russian-Uzbek metals and telecoms tycoon Alisher Usmanov will remain on the European Union sanctions list, a top EU court said on Wednesday, dismissing his appeal.

The anti 777 brigade on X seem to think they have just unravelled the whole sorry mess regarding who is behind the bid, and why they need it to go through. Mutual back slapping ensues.

May be true, may be false. But the self satisfaction makes me very nauseous.
