Ukraine invasion and the sanction of Oligarchs

[CharliePotato]

Didn't Abramovic take out Israeli citizenship a few years ago ?

He did. Helped out by ?

Let's not be as bad as the Geordies when it comes to looking the other way if an ugly truth comes to the fore.

We have been looking the other way for years, what makes us any better.

FFS, an Irish voice over pronouncing "Moran" as Moh-ran. Credibility gone straight off the bat.

No, Mo didn't run anywhere.

For our non Irish colleagues, the correct pronunciation is More-an. Emphasis on the first syllable. O Moráin in Irish.

Similarly Cahill is not Kay-hill but Ca-hill. In Irish O Ceathaill.

He did.

He's also big friends with both Putin and the ex-dictatorpresident Yeltsin.

Well said. Own it, Evertonians.

I do believe he did.

That Liberal woman named and shamed in in the HOC yesterday though.

Don't know why but this brought Oh-Shag-Hennesy back to mind.



Pulling Uncle Uz in scandalous. She'd have been better off having a pop at Alex Salmond.

The ironic thing about that (funny) video is that it is NOT "O Shawnessy" either. It's pronounced O'Shock-nessy. Frankly, yer man's Oh-Shag-Hennessy was a better effort. But they are Yanks. That Irish fella earlier has no excuse. For shame.

Regardless of any sanctions the fact that Usmanov is a powerful ally of Putin is at the very least distasteful and uncomfortable for us during the current situation.
We should ideally terminate any dealings or agreements with any of the companies or business interests associated with the Russian Government.
Not to do so would be shameful.

It’s not just being his ‘mate’ though is it?
He is an important and powerful supporter and close ally of Putin and his government.
A government that is currently invading a major European country and pushing the world to the brink of war.
Everton Football Club should never be associated with acts of military oppression.

Man City and Newcastle are owned by oppressive regimes

Chelsea are owned by an Oligarch

Liverpools owners (or sponsers cant remember) were linked with funding terrorism

If you want squeeky clean ownership best supporting lower/none league mate as football is all about da blood money these days.

Neither Moshiri or Usmanov are Russian, nothing to see here.

According to Wiki, he's Russian. Has a Russian citizenship only. Just bcs he was born abroad does not make him less Russian.

I will choose to attempt to make a stand on my club.
To just glibly accept evil as inevitable is a cowardly stance to take, at least offer some resistance or you are complicit in the events that may follow.
