Ukraine invasion and the sanction of Oligarchs

[ToffeeTim]

Putin is deplorable alright, but IMO the Russian are well within their right to get into eastern Ukraine to halt any ethnic cleansing of Russian speakers who have been battered for 8 years by regular Ukrainian forces and more especially Ukrainian fascist militia.

NATO can huff and puff all they want but they will get a good 'kin slap if they try and step up against the Bear in his backyard.

Dave what does this have to do with Everton FC?

I thought the topic was the invasion of Ukraine?!

2. BMD still hasn't been built and without USM won't be.

And what have you based that doom mongering on?

As it may affect Everton was my understanding.

 

[gwladysnight]

In what way?

I dont fall for the paedo BBC and it's pro-war propaganda.

Pro war propaganda. You are defending Russia invading a sovereign state. Russia and Ukraine are at War. You are just repeating the same diatribe as the Russian bots.

And the potential impact on Everton.

Well I thought it was the Ale House one.

I stand by what I posted but also now add that I support our oligarch in keeping his cash....for however longer he's with Everton.

Fair dos mate. Done that many times myself.

With him being on the board of USM, the big question is where does his money and the security from that loan come from? How much of it is from his work at USM? I know he has other business interests but no idea of the breakdown.

How on earth were we allowed to use them as sponsors at all is another question but it won't matter soon.

Even if Usmanov/USM aren't sanctioned directly today, its all moving so fast that it IS coming. You'd hope the club are looking into how to deal with this. Can we really have USM plastered around the stadium on Saturday? Will the PL even allow it?

Well the money comes from Moshiri's account now.

The only USM money we have got has been from sponsorships.

Are Parliament going to go after anyone who has ever worked or been paid for work by a Russian Oligarch? I highly doubt it.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Usmanov needs to venmo about 500m to Moshiri RIGHT NOW before his cash is frozen.

3. USM haven't got around FFP that is why we have stopped spending.

That's another baseless claim as well.

For starters it isn't even FFP we are being held up by it is the Premier League's STCC rules on wage expenditure.

We were spending too much on wages and had to cut the wage bill. This is mostly due to the fact that we haven't been able to show a profit due to horrendous player trading losses more so than to do with sponsorship fees.

Read the accounts. Without the funding that comes directly or indirectly from USM the club becomes instantly insolvent.

Abramovich pulled the plug on a 1bn redevelopment of Stamford Bridge because his visa was pulled. There is no way Moshiri or any financial institution is going to touch BMD with the threat of funds being seized. They will be looking to get their money out not pump more in.

I do read the accounts.

We do not become instantly insolvent without USM. If you'd read the accounts you would see that our majority shareholder has injected millions to prevent insolvency already even with the USM sponsorship.

Why would the funds be seized if they're backed by a British businessman with enough personal wealth to fund the entire loan himself?

You are chatting wham lad.

STCC was a form of financial fair play. I say was because it was scrapped in 2019. Try and keep up.
