Russia / Everton

[efcfanwirral]

Moshiri is Usmanov's proxy.

This club is finished if the UK politicians sanction Usmanov.

But isn't there a point where FFP kicks in - how much is Moshiri actually able to put in on top of our TV money/prize money/player sales income? Are we being propped up to that extent? Obviously we can't buy players this summer, I think that's probably not far off guaranteed now, but we've been there before. Maybe a few FFP issues IF we don't make the money back on a DCL/Richarlison sale.

Or are you thinking politically they're going to screw us to make a point?

We can just sell up to a murderous regime like Newcastle did, the Israelis must be looking a PL club soon

They're the worst of all human rights abusers. A nation with a record number of UN resolutions passed against it for genocide against the Palestinians.

Exactly, premier league would welcome them with open arms

FFP doesn't cover infrastructure improvements like a new stadium.

Without that new facility we'll be finished.

If this drags on how are USM actually going to pay us if all sorts of financial restrictions are in place

Aaah I get you- thought you meant immediately finished!

On a serious note, this is true (and includes telex if anyone still has a machine), if the companies aren't sanctioned, funds can still be exchanged but its slow time stuff so may not affect the stadium payments as these can be planned factoring in the delay in payments. It will (and is) massively affect the real time Russian banking system that cant work on slow time transactions these days. I don't think Vlad the Bad was expecting this kind of conjoined response from the rest of the world.

I’m agreeing with Davebot here.

I think a combination of us being relegated, and then the funding being pulled in various ways from the stadium project and / or owner issues, and we’ll be a very sad story indeed.

I don’t think we’ll be “finished” permanently, there will always be an Everton, you can’t kill it. But things would be very different and a lot worse, which I think is what He means.

Bet Kenwright is crapping his kecks at this unfolding.

Relegation and bankruptcy in the same season. No wonder Wayne Rooney stayed at Derby to complete his apprenticeship. He's getting ready for the job.

Thankfully I imagine things will simmer down in Ukraine in the coming days.

Cant see Russia lasting much further with these sanctions on the banks etc.

Given the way the EU has responded so decisively, one wonders if there will be quite the same appetite from Johnson's Brexit loons for an all-out trade war with the 27... But I digress.

That would be great news, but I think either Putin has lost his mind or he is going all in.

This will be probably seriously be the biggest ever u-turn in history if he backs down now.

He’s not backing down
