This fella is Russian / Uzbeckistanian tho.

I honestly don't care if both of our current owners end up imprisoned for crimes against football, never mind humanity

...we almost had a new stadium.

Oh well.

In all seriousness, we'll be fine. The club need to be up front about things though. If Usmanov and USM are sanctioned then really having USM, Megafon etc plastered all over isn't the way to go in the immediate future.

Oh well.

We still will

It’ll get repossessed just after being built!

Then we have no future quite frankly.

Our income is dwarfed by the big clubs and we are not marketable enough to get good sponsership deals legitimately.

No sponser deals = no way around FFP.

A future isn't merely keeping up with the "big boys".

We will not stop existing.

SPVs?

Very.

Marvellous.

Didn’t know if they were connected. We’ll only one way this can end.

I want to know what Joe Parkinsons take on the situation is.

Who's this Max bloke? Some Russian you're friendly with?

Trust no-one. Suspect everyone!

There's no way these oligarchs can speak out against Russia - and Putin especially.

People like the whingeing arse Corbyn hater Chris Bryant using the coward's way out of parliamentary privilege to speak about Abramovich and Usmanov know that.

The frustration from fans at present is the "what if" factor of us having spent so much to fail so spectacularly.

Losing financial muscle basically takes us back to the Kenwright days without a Moyes magician in the dugout having us fight for europe on a shoestring budget.

If we lose our USM dough we're basically another Crystal Palace type outfit hoping for a solid 10th-12th place finish every season at best.
