That Guardian article is interesting in one way: it tells us Usmanov was persona non grata prior to the war.
Beyond that, it is most interesting because the British prime minister actively touted for Mohammed bin Salman to buy Newcastle United, while his home secretary was busy tut-tutting at Everton.
The double-standard - not even implied in that article - is breathtaking.
I think it's great that the journalist in question has shone a light on how Usmanov was viewed by the British government. When will he be shining a light on Priti Patel's view of the Newcastle United takeover? Just for context, like.
It's been pointed out before that the writer is a dog with a bone. His bone is Uzmanov and "feels" there's more to him, his intentions, and the link with the club being tied to a part of it.
No one has done hit pieces on him so he thinks he's got something so will roll out the odd story at timely intervals.
This one...just as The Times reports we're getting investment.
