Panorama to question ownership of Everton

[Jay]

Agreed. Worst case: Mosh & Usmanov get bans from involvement with English clubs, Mosh's 49.9% would have to go somewhere but we as a club won't be directly punished, so no points deductions or the like.

And that's worst case scenario (in my opinion).

True, if there was a foul-play, we are the victims here, legally speaking we were scammed.

If i sold my car to a person and 2 years later they found out that this person robbed a bank and the money he paid me is from the bank, it's not my fault and no one comes near me.

Oh great

 

[Neiler]

This is all fair enough, i hope Panorama have some evidence i would be priming the solicitors here.

I have had this suspicion for a long time to be honest, i think the two of them are colluding in terms of PL market exposure and investment and to develop/invest in Liverpool waterways rather then us gaining and uncompeititive advantage.

 

[royalbalou]

...all seems legit to me

I think the red flag has gone up on Moshiri/Usmanov because of the FF naming rights deal. Which underlines just how pitiful the club have been in reality under Moshiri...that Everton under his ownership and control could only attract more commercial cash from the source that in all probability bought 49% of the club stock.

It's just laughable. What a house of cards we have in front of us now.

All those who think: "nothing to see here, move on" are kidding themselves. This issue will dog Moshiri and therefore Everton and the attraction of capital for that stadium will be a hundred fold more difficult to achieve.

All bets are off on us now. I honestly have no idea what's to become of this club.

You're right.

It's quite possible that this scandal will signal the end of the stadium project.

@Donald Twain am i you?

Yes and no !

 

[davek]

You're right.

It's quite possible that this scandal will signal the end of the stadium project.

Sadly, yes.

The credibility of the major stakeholder was the anchor for the Everton end of the deal.

That's in tatters.

 

[dholliday]

Yes and no !

if only Dougie were here...

 

[ToffeeTim]

Hopefully this speeds up the Usmanov process

 

[Chestnut]

Sadly, yes.

The credibility of the major stakeholder was the anchor for the Everton end of the deal.

That's in tatters.

This is jumping the gun somewhat no?

 

[dholliday]

aye, this is the big one...all speculation tho' until the program is aired, it may yet be much ado about nothing.

You're right.

It's quite possible that this scandal will signal the end of the stadium project.

Well brilliant. First it's Sky Sports at Everton with Lukaku basically saying he's not staying with us. Now it's Panorama investigating our ownership. Great media work!


Wonder if Chris Matheson will show up?

 

[AdamEFC]

Hope Usmanov and Moshiri launch a counter investigation of the BBC and cause the organisation full of rats and nonces to collapse.

 

[cronullasharks]

This season justs gets better and better doesn't it. What next

 

[Ring master]

They have probably had a show like this ready for ages about us/everton or whatever,and waited to hit us when we are down lol,surely there loads that other teams do behind the scences,yet they go for us,didnt the BBC have a show ready to broadcast on tv for when we nearly got relegated in 94,
