Farhad Moshiri

Anyway... I thought the Esk told us from day one he wasn't involved ...

Questions mount over Alisher Usmanov’s links with Everton FC

Sources claim five football managers held talks over top job in presence of now-sanctioned oligarch

t.co

The Ukraine conflict has destroyed us. Usmanov can't pump his money in now. Moshiri was just the front man.

It has but that money hasn't helped us, if it wasn't for the conflict he might of pumped more money in, and we'd be in an even bigger mess

What's mad is when he was pumping money into naming Finch Farm and logos on Goodison we all thought it was great, what mess

I think everyone got carried away.

Years of being skint, to dining at the fine table.

Everything’s been a bit murky, I expected the rumours of the sale as soon as he was sanctioned, because what accountant is a Billionaire?

Don’t think we’ll ever know the true details, but it’s a mess. Weirdly though, had we been set up to operate efficiently, I don’t think it’d be a major issue.

Thanks to the US’s war in Ukraine and Nato , we are up [Poor language removed] creek. But Usmanov is a horrible russian tool.

Agree, been looking at this, some agencies have been investigating.

If it turns out Usmanov is the man that controls Everton though Moshiri the club will be controlled by the UK Government with Moshiri, Bill and whoever else was part of the cover up facing criminal charges.... Part of me hopes the Usmanov theory is correct.

Yes, I can't see how today's Guardian publicity helps anybody on the board. Which is good news, for a change.

..."When a third manager was interviewed for the Everton job, the oligarch offered his own money to seal the deal, according to the manager’s associate. “The first talk was with Moshiri and then Usmanov came and said, ‘I want you to do this’,” the spokesperson added."... (Guardian Report)

Embarrassing. Claims that the club is now controlled, financed and managers interviewed (and offered brown envelopes) by Russian blood money.

The fact Mosh Man seems to want investment rather than a full sale suggests Usmanovs involvement.

He'll not want to lose on the BMD and northern development over the coming years. I think their plan is to essentially sell a stake in the club and have someone help with the financing of the club/ground in the hope the sanctions are lifted on the oligarchs in the coming years allowing him back into the fold.

We might not be relegation fodder again and might have the finance in place for the stadium. Losing Uzi's money was bad.

if that happened there would be a forced sale a la Abramovic with Usmanov having very little if any say on the purchase price or recovery of outlay. The ground would be a complicating factor but looking at how Chelsea dealt with the issue it could be a good way out of this mess for us.

Yeah its like we went from one extreme to the other but without actually sitting back and thinking about the long term inplications

I think we would be looking at some sort of penalty as a club too, but again this was brought up months ago and it’s old news. Surely if anything was going to happen then statements would have been taken from those managers. Hiding an owner is one thing, hiding a sanctioned owner is quite another.

Yeah its even bigger then the stadium, its the region, they want a hand in that

1) The US/NATO didn’t invade anybody
2) He’s an Uzbek

 

[Billy Liar]

I said this a long time ago, I've repeatedly mentioned it, it's a way of cleaning money, thus has been our problem, Farhad buying players through our books for none football reasons

Maybe, but you don't do yourself any favours keep backing Bill. He's not the solution he's part of the problem.

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

Moshiri just kept pumping money in, as loans, so once he sells and gets his money back it’s all clean.

I think if they could prove it was dirty russian money then something would have already been done, it’s one thing knowing something and quite another proving it.
