I'm Russian and we hate the Germans.........murdered 26 of may ancestors for being Russian

Given the violence emanating from the Russian state right now are we to all hate you because a mad man is executing an illegal war upon its neighbour?

Or are we to assume you’re not responsible and that geo politics is complex enough to accept that civilians are powerless to affect such events.

“We hate the Germans”. Strewth.

Interesting piece in the Daily Mail about the effects of Usmanov being removed from our club.

Stadium cost cutting and no transfers

I pray the club lifts the suspension on USM if possible otherwise we are ruined in terms of being a competitive outfit long term.

The club had to take that decision or face a reaction that would extend to a global audience. Either way the sanctions would impact in any case.

These links are now poisonous by association. I could envisage in a situation where hostilities ended and a settlement agreed that the majority of sanctions would be unrolled quickly as a confidence-building measure for the Russians, but that doesn't appear to be a prospect for some time if at all.

The issue is that Russian money was always likely to be more risky in the longer-term, far more so than Arab or Chinese money, strictly from a geopolitical outlook. It has nothing to do with morals. Kenwright would have known that hitching himself to Moshiri but I guess nobody could have predicted this. The chickens have come home to roost.

Think the other items mentioned don’t bode well for the original specification , huge rise in steel , energy , materials and also wages will be on the rise too . With escalation of costs to say over £600 million but trying to stay on budget of £505 million is going to require a lot of changes . This appears to be the worst possible time to construct a stadium for a long long time

Karl Marx the creator of Communism is buried in Highgate Cemetery.

Yes and I noticed also that The Russian Defense Office and The Russian Trade Delegation Office are both just down the road as well. Incredible really isn't it as in one of Londons most affluent suburbs you have "Little Russia". What's that all about??

Seems a lot of unnamed sources gibberish and mostly adding 2+2 type of prediction piece in my opinion

Kopite infested media rubbing their grubby hands again, but seem to forget their beloved club almost went bust in 2011.

We can say that ffp has saved us...imagine if there wasn't any ffp and we had crazy overvalued commercial contracts that would help us to pay for top football star...yes we need to plug a big hole, but at least is nowhere near as big as it would have been without ffp.

It's going to affect what we can spend while we build the stadium but we didn't spend last year anyway. Worst case and we just have to rely on loans, trust in the youngsters and find more Gray type players. Frank showed with VDB he can attract good players and he's got the Chelsea connection.

I dont think there's any going back to that source whatever the status of USM.

The club wont be revisiting that source of sponsorship and stadium financing again. Too toxic.

We have only one hope to get back to where we were pre-Ukraine: Moshiri sells up his shares and any debts owed to him to a new investor. That's difficult to imagine right now...even less so when you factor in the need to complete the plans for the dock stadium.

In a couple of words: we're ruined.

I would suggest that the world knew Putin was high risk before Moshiri took over the club

Annexation of Crimea was 2014, Syria was 2015, Boris Nemtsov was murdered in 2015,

Goes back before that. Georgia in 2008 was the first. Got away with that one and the rest of it has dropped into place virtually unchallenged while the powers that be in various countries fought over the Oligarch's money washing investments.

How far back do you want to go -

Afganistan
Iraq
Ireland
Falklands
Vietnam ?

Do you get a clean slate after a few years?

The Welsh Guard must have run amok in the Falklands / Malvinas.
Human population - 2000 cousins.
Millions of sheep, though.

Sadly you’re absolutely correct.
