Panorama to question ownership of Everton

[Moomin]

Should we not wait to see the program before saying " much ado about nothing " or " we will be in trouble "

Lets wait and see.

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

His investment may be legit but he's definitely a weird guy - he said Ross Barkley had had a medical with Chelsea when apparently he hadn't, he also made some weird comments about 'not turning our backs on our own' and prioritising keeping James McCarthy when the Sissoko deal (fortunately) fell through - something about it didn't quite ring true...

 

[Jamiednm]

Lovely, just what we need.

Really, lovely.

 

[Jamiednm]

I’d love a Panorama investigation in to why we didn’t replace Lukaku!

Lets wait and see.

We could.

Indeed we should.

But where’s the fun in that

This has been a great thread

Nah.

The programme will say no more than what's in the Times article mate.

Oh, and unless you're in the US, it's programme ffs.

Ironic considering McCarthy has barely featured and is 4th choice at the club.

 

[Gardocki]

GOT us starting to remind me of The Life of Brian.

Esk is the Messiah. All hail the Messiah.
No he’s not. DaveK is the Messiah. All hail the Messiah.

He’s not the Messiah lads. He’s a very naughty boy.

 

[Bluerobins]

Don't care about all this. These guys don't get caught like this. The burden of proof would need to be incredible. Smells of Kroenke grassing him up to push him away

 

[Moomin]

Nah.

I reckon they could have some more evidence of something dodgy up its sleeve. They have left a little taster.

Yes, he's definitely just a patsy or whatever you call them, completely ignorant to the game, just doing his job

I'm not trying to mislead anyone mate.

The BBC look to be making the suggestion Usmanov has involvement at Everton. I am giving my opinion the accusations won't stand up but if it were the case it would be good news for the club. People are entitled to a different reading of the evidence, that is my interpretation though.

I am not quite sure how any opinion can be drawn without seeing what the BBC have. As for it being good news for the club I am not sure how it would play out if indeed there is evidence that Usmanov wields any influence.


There are far too many unknowns and even the FA will only have been able to factor in the information in their possession the clear inference is that there is other documentation as to what that is we have no idea

 

[Steve Wigan]

Ahh ok, from what i have read on here the past day it sounded much like it was a program about us!

That's what Dave wanted you to think!!

 

[thirdmantackle]

any chance Panorama would find the Arteta money?

what other club has two billionaire owners but didn't bother signing a striker?

Everton that

 

[blulouie]

Storm in a teacup.

Lets run with the idea that Usmanov gifted shares to Moshiri ten years ago, which may well be right. The idea that he did that to allow Moshiri to sell his shares to fund his near 50% purchase of Everton is just daft.

Are they mates ? Yes.
Will Usmanov be able to influence what happens at Everton ? Yes
Is it pushing the boundaries ? Aye, probably.
Will anyone that matters cares ? No.

I dare say the folk that don't want Moshiri here will get some mileage out of it, but they'll just be spouting hot air.

Unless the programme comes up with something far more substantial than what I've read, file me under NEA.
