The curious case of Farhad Moshiri, Alisher Usmanov and new money at Everton | David Conn via The Guardian

Alisher Usmanov, who has a stake in Arsenal, is said not to be involved at Everton but the heavy investment by USM, of which the Uzbek-Russian billionaire owns 48%, in Finch Farm has raised questions
When Everton’s major shareholders concluded years of searching for a mega-rich owner by selling just under 50% of the club to Farhad Moshiri for £87.5m last February, it was widely assumed that Moshiri’s senior business partner, the Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, must be looming large behind him.

Usmanov, though, has a 30% stake in Arsenal, the club he harbours an appetite to buy, but where he has been held at bay and arm’s length by the US investor Stan Kroenke, who owns 67% and is buttressed by the alliances of the board. Premier League rules prohibiting “dual ownership,” aimed at maintaining proper competition, forbid a person who owns more than 10% of one club to buy shares in another.
