Usmanov, is now the chairman of Gazprom Invest holdings.

Football Club Zenit
Chairman Aleksandr Dyukov

Alexander Valeryevich Dyukov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Вале́рьевич Дю́ков[ɐlʲɪˈksandr vɐˈlʲerʲɪvʲɪtɕ ˈdʲukəf]; born 3 December 1967, Leningrad) is Chairman of the management Board of Gazprom Neft,

Follow the money.

Think he stepped down as the director a couple of years ago - Usmanov mate, but the ones who run it now are basically his people still from what i can gather
 
The whole thing stinks of Premier League points docked.

Telling ya now.

Moshiris money is mostly in USM holdings, which is part owned by Usmanov, the boy Stoch and Moshiri.

Premier league enquiry within 6months IMO.

We'll finish the season with 101 points but get docked 30 points to finish with 71.

Martinez > Koeman
 

Yeah the story I read was from 2013, I honestly couldnt be bothered checking anymore, a link was all I needed.

Aye all the current board i think are his appointments anyways - proteges etc, and no chance he stepped away without having massive influence back their, they just don't do that type of thing really

Basically the company is what it is because of him (and moshiri was his wingman all the way through that)
 
I am not panicking just yet (as some seem to be) but at the same time I am a little disappointed. It's approaching mid-July and we've signed a reserve goalie for a nominal fee. It's just another average Everton summer.

Don't get me wrong I know there are reasons for the lack of action so far:
1) getting Koeman in took a while due to complications with Southampton
2) possible delay in getting transfer action started due to wanting a director of football (which it appears we're now not going to get)
3) all decent players are/were at the euros/copa America and are now on holiday
4) Koeman possibly wanted to start pre-season and see what he had before bidding for new players (although in my opinion you don't need to watch Kone train to know he's no good)
5) possibly the key reason for the delay-we don't know if stones and lukaku are leaving which wcould alter our transfer plans in a huge way.

However, certain issues are starting to worries me now. Why re-sign Gibson? Yeah, I know he's decent when fit but any of the current top 6 teams would've released him without thinking. You could say he is good back up, but the point of being a good back up player is that you are ready to come in when needed. Gibson isn't a good back because he's injured 50% of the time. Sod's law, when we need him he'll be unavailable.

I'm also a little worried about our supposed new wealth. Moshiri seems to be worth anything from 1.2-1.8 billion depending on who you ask. Ok, that's more than I'll ever have but in football terms it's not really that much. Especially in this brave new world where Watford are able to reject a £25 million bid for Troy Deeney. If your saying moshiri has 1.8 billion. That's "only" £1800 million. Equating to 56 Troy Deeneys (and that's without wages). Be surprised if he's going to blow his net worth 2-3 years of backing Everton in the transfer market.

In short I can totally understand people's frustrations. Evertonians have had false dawns before and are rightly pessimistic. With Moshiri for me it's a case of "show me the money" and when I see it I'll believe it.

p.s. mata and Witsel are goo players/better than what we have. However I'm. It too bothered if we miss out on them.
It means nothing to me
