They stated that we have severed links with usmanov which is factually incorrect as we have only suspended our ties to his companies.
What?

To cut off (a part) from a whole: severed the branch from the tree. 2. To divide into parts; break or interrupt: sever a cord; severed the army's supply lines.

We have severed our link with Usmanov.

So you can announce you are joining a midweek European super league with absolutely no sanction whatsoever but you can’t buy a Ukrainian full back to try and stay in the division without getting a points deduction?

We won't be deducted points. Maybe a fine. Hopefully avoid a transfer ban.

The part where it says it could cost us £300mill over 20 years is clutching to try to prove a point.
 

What do you expect though, the Moshiri era has been an utter shambles from the start up until the present day

Which is only because he had the balls to give it a go.

The media loved Kenwright because he gave off this portrayal of "stability" which is easy to do if you're aiming for 17th every season spending the bare minimum.

I've said it time after time but take Chelsea, Man City and Leicester out the equation there isn't one other owner thats done wonders with a club in this league whilst having them compete for trophies / Champions League and that's the issue we face going forward (I would include FSG but lets be honest they massively lucked out on Klopp).

Barring an uber rich owner coming in with an equally uber rich friend who can sponser us to get around FFP whilst also being a proper footballing man who has us run soundly (doesn't sound that likely does it) we're either end up with someome similiar to Moshiri/Lerner who'll go balls in looking for success or someone like Mike a Ashley / Gold, Sullivan, Leeds/Saints/Palace owners who have no desire to fight for the top 6 and will sit on their investment which is what Kenwright did.

Thats the issue of our ownership for me is a complex one - shouting "Moshiri oot!" is fine but who's coming in that will genuinely turn us around and get us back to what we once were? If thats even possible.
 
what are the lies? we are in trouble with the P&S rules.

Nope, we have already negotiated with the Prem and are not in any danger of punishments.

They say we will lose £300 million....yet dont mention we have already got new money for the stadium.

They dont mention how we refused additional loans from the Council due to us already having finance in place.

They dont mention we are due to have a new kit sponsor.

Its all spin, lies and ignoring some key points, to make a headline.
