Russia / Everton

[davek]

My concern is that all of this has highlighted the dirty russIan money and they’re not going to suddenly let it go once Putin backs down.

That wont be happening.

There is no such thing at the levels they're at.

With respect… nonsense Thomas

“Labour MP Chris Bryant has called on Chelseaowner Roman Abramovich and Everton investor Alisher Usmanov to make it clear they oppose Russia’s invasion of Ukraine or face sanctions.”

Chelsea owner and Everton investor sent Vladimir Putin ultimatum by Labour MP

Sanctions could be imposed on the Russian businessmen

Let’s hope they don’t send Bill out.

They’ll probably get an email from Moshiri.

More likely to get Jim White to read it.

Usmanov subject to Sanctions per BBC.

EU sanctions, not British, I think?

It's Moshiri that owns Everton anyway. Yes, we know Usmanov is a close business partner of his, but so what tbh? Hugo Boss was a member of the Nazi party but nobody cares when you wear his clothes.

So the EU have sanctioned Usmanov.

Just a matter of time until the USM connection at Everton is severed now.

We really are going to be careering out of control soon.

Let's hope @AndyC is right and there's a businessman out there worth £14B to replace Usmanov...one who has no nasty connections and doesn't mind bailing us out to the tune of half a billion quid in debt and doesn't mind turning a beach at the docks into a £600M stadium.

I'm sure they'll be queuing up.

Moshiri is tied to USM.

Thus far, although you'd have to assume the US and British governments will follow suit given how they are trying to co-ordinate.

Even if it does stay European only, the last couple of paragraphs surely make it impossible for us to maintain any formal links.

This feller Usmanov is gone.

We are on our own now financially...and when the debt is called in we are completely knackered.

Incredibly this is something some on here wanted...I think there's going to be a few people rowing back from their standing with Ukraine rhetoric when we start falling through the divisions.

We are in trouble and I have this bad feeling that DCL is looking at his summer move and is not at all committed to the cause. This could be crucial in how things pan out.

This davek fella is in his element here, isn't he?

Posts an awful lot without actually saying anything of substance. Makes this forum a tough visit.

You should have been here at the end of the Martinez reign.
This is a dance around the maypole compared to those crazy days.

Can we have a “couldn’t give a toss” options in the poll?

I’m still feeling a severe lack of interest due to the Benitez mess they bestowed upon us.

Football was better before foreign billionaires got involved.

Football was better before foreign billionaires got involved.

But those other billionaires will still be around to aid other clubs...it's just us and Chelsea that'll be affected...and Chelsea will soon find a new investor no problem. We'll be tuning back to Kenwight or some other divvy like him.
