Panorama to question ownership of Everton

[Azza]

It's very bizarre they're just going on about connections... well of course they have connections they are business partners you meffs!

Of course they are going to use companies and accountant and associates they know and have used before.


As said earlier, even the main story is a non story. It's completely legal, if our tax system wasn't crap this sort of thing wouldn't happen. But it will happen though because MPs do the same, their friends do the same and big donors do the same.

He said if i give you a fiver is it yours or mine?

Reference his gift off Usmanov

 

[Azza]

It was hardly ground breaking stuff, just the usual stuff about off shore shell companies moving money around.

I'd be more surprised if Russian billionaires weren't doing this tbh

Every millionaire never mind billionaire does this. Hell even my family have looked at incorporating of shore for income tax purposes on rental properties and we're not exactly millionaires. People do it because you can do it.

Maybe it might be slightly morally wrong, but if the government reformed the tax system it wouldn't happen.

You would been very hard pressed to know we were even playing if you were relying on BBC live updates.

Got about 3 mentions and 2 of those were after Chelsea-Utd has finished.

 

[Azza]

Hell we'd all love it if Usmanov was actually involved. Shame nothing has been found.

It was all a bit of let down tbh, I was expecting an expose of sorts, not a " he did this, then he did that ".

Nothing to see here.

Him speaking from behind bars literally was not the best PR image for the club there.

He handled the interview well enough though.

Still wish all communication would be handled through official club channels, and professional ones preferably.

It was not an interview he has ambushed after the match finished. Handled it ok

Moshiri handled panorama very well, gave nothing away that they could hang anything on. All centred around the transfer of shares years back which Moshiri ultimately sold back to Usmanov to finance the purchase of Everton shares. Panorama maintained that this represented Usmanov putting money into Everton - load of tosh. Then harped on about Bridgewaters in IOM owned by Usmanov and that firm were advisors to true Blue Holdings and there fore Usmanov had a connection to EFC. Rubbish imo. So as stated before by me much ado about nothing. Panorama did not prove at all that Usmanov had any control, influence or put money into Everton.

The Panorama producer is probably an Arsenal fan.

The Bridgewater stuff will attract a lot of attention. The connections between that and Usmanov and Everton's boardroom cant be ignored.

There'll be no repercussions from this Dave.

 

[Seathestars]

Has this been on yet. I’m away so can’t watch. Any chance of someone posting it so I can watch. Would be appreciated.

...sometimes these cases pick up steam.

Hold on to your hat would be my advice.

The links between us and Usmanov look obvious to anyone with a couple of brain cells to rub together. It WILL be scrutinised further.

Nonsense Dave, Bridgwater advised true Blue Holdings years before Moshiri came on the scene and before anyone had heard of Usmanov.

There was still nothing to show Usmanov had any control, influence or put money into EFC. Typical Dave, you are lifting stones and hoping to find snakes.
