Not silly. It's just a life decision to not allow things to bother me that I cannot possibly control. I honestly don't know the gossip.

As far as I see it, Usmanov was sanctioned along with all other wealthy Russians after Putin went mad. Go ahead and furnish me with facts.
If you don't know anything about the major investor in your club and have managed to avoid all discussion about him in the media and on GOT and have elected to take a step away from understanding the politics of Russia and how it has impacted Chelsea and Everton and why sanctions against certain people were made as a result of the war in Ukraine I will leave you in your blissful state.

Or you could enlighten us.

Despite me asking a number of times it's looking as if you cannot state any facts against Usmanov that specifically suggest he is the heinous figure you are suggesting. I'm not claiming that he's any more innocent of greed as the next billionaire, nor sm i suggesting he's- the kind if person id like, but you've not provided any coherent argument or evidence to back up your allegations.

I've followed Everton football club for over 40 years and Ill afmit to being ashsmed if and embarrased by our current regime. However, I don't show any real interest other than what happens on the pitch - because I like sport not politics or business. The fact that I haven't gorped at the news or speculated nor believed the clickbait headlines on the Internet doesn't make me less of a fan as you try to imply.

I show even less interest in other clubs, less still on the behaviour of their owners. But here you are, chatting about the owners of another club in another club's forum not able or not willing to go to the trouble of substantiating the slurs you're trying to make, despite being invited to. I think that's a bit odd ... and weak.

I didn't say you were any less of a fan because you don't understand what your owners have done which resulted in Usmanov's sanction. There is no point in me explaining what Usmanov has done. It is widely known and has been discussed quite a lot on GOT. If you have so little interest in it to get to this point without understanding it then I am not going to waste my time explaining it to you to receive the faux confused responses asking for citations. If you want to educate yourself about Russian politics there are lots of very credible and reputable sources of information on the internet. Yes, there is also lots of clickbait but it is quite easy to find reputable ones.

There's a device sometimes utilised in the English language called punctuation.

You should give it a go sometime as it really helps the reader.
 

So are you another person that doesn't know what Usmanov did that was wrong?
So I'll conclude that you're one of us - you don't know what he's done wrong either, you're just repeating a narrative you vaguely picked up on somewhere. Maybe it was anti-russian propaganda. You do know that our country does propaganda all the time right?

Curiously you've spent more time typing about how you're not going to waste your time saying what he's done wrong, than it would've taken to just answer my genuine question. It suggests to me that you either don't really know, or you're not confident of your assertions.
 
Look at why Usmanov was sanctioned. He didn't get the mining rights nor mobile phone license through legitimate means. Its comes across as a bit silly trying to pretend you don't know what I am referring to.
I'm not confused about the issues either, I just don't know the facts. Do you? There's quite a difference between confusion or knowledge. I know Usmanov was never the owner of the club though ... like you keep saying he is - so there's a fact to mull over.

I feel dizzy after reading that. You could've added a bit of punctuation there mate.
