No Oligarch is investing in a football club in the UK, this will take more than 2 years to simmer down, was it only this week that the head of MI6 was saying they need a bigger budget and more recruitment to spy on Russia as they are the biggest threat to the UK, Putin has another 10 years as president, he changed the constitution to 3 term limits, He will win the next election in 4 years time and do another 6 years.
And even if he does buy us he'll want to be sole owner in writing and official with the ownership rules in the PL and even more scrutuny now under UEFA , who's ever bought a football being incognito behind a "puppet", and what billionaire invests in a club without any returns unless they are Government (UAE Qatar being examples who don#t care for returns) who use buying clubs as a PR tool to deflect from their human rights abuses and show their country in a good light.
And FFP 2.0 coming in and more stringent scrutiny and 100 million euro net spend no new club will be able to spend like City and PSG and that door will be shut.
And with a Euro Super League being close any rich oilgarch, billionaire or state will buy a club who's going to be in that.
For an Everton fan your mighty concerned about Usmanov having influence in Everton aren't you.
USM sponsers our training ground
The money Moshiri used to buy Everton came from Usmanov
Moshiri's stake in USM was gifted to him by Usmanov
Usmanov has repeatedly said he'll consider investing in Everton, be it officially or "helping" his friend
Bill Kenwright, Farhad Moshiri and Usmanov are linked in a number of recent projects including 2 of Bill Kenwrights theatre productions (why would one of the worlds richest men be arsed with some small time musical)
BMD is a massive project and thats why Usmanov/Moshiri are interested in EFC - 3 seasons ago Moshiri and Usmanov owned 30% in Arsenal, now Moshiri owns us and Usmanov has recently sold his Arsenal stake (after buying out Moshiri who then days later used the funds to buy us)
You can fantasize about a Euro super league or EUFA being onto Man City and PSG all you like however you and I both know the super rich always find loopholes, always have done and always will which is bad news for you guys. As I've said previously in 10 years time EFC will be the bigger club in the city, massive own goal by the kopites to gift us the BMD project while they stay in the ghetto of Anfield.
