No his hair is all wrong.

But Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale MBE DL, EdD, MBA, BA (Hons), FRSA had earned a lot more than her honorary during her time.

Don’t get too wowed, FRSA can be bought for £150.00

Just googled that lol

Still a bit confused at her background...

MBA / PHD / BA doesnt mean someone is able to be CEO of a football club.

Working in Education and a Charity also doesnt seem to be a strong background to me...

Ive no idea what she actually does though

She could be brilliant or useless...no idea.

What is Ismailov's actual business background though?

Has he has any position within USM or elsewhere?

It's one thing to have him on the board, but if he doesn't bring any specific acumen / background, then how is he going to able to contribute to any decisions regarding strategic direction of the club?

We criticise the football side for retaining ex-players on cosy contracts, how is this any different?

Willing to give him the benefit of the doubt of course, but we need experienced, hand-on directors.

More numbers on the board that are obviously from the Moshiri / Usmanov side are welcome of course, we need unity.

But still, its professional expertise we need on the board.

It's a million miles from the likes of Bryan Gilvary who was mooted for a position years ago. The problem there is that people who have cut their teeth like him aren't going to keep quiet whilst the club is being run sideways or backwards.

I guess at least Ismailov might be brought on board to do something similar, but we need active oversight + industry experience.

He will just make sure his uncles wishes and commands are followed to the letter

He has a stepson.

Who is a property developer in Moscow

No big secret mate, I fault diagnose aircraft.
Currently trying to train some

Nope.

My dad worked in Dublin airport in the 70s

They had Saudi Apprentice’s who used to take a dump in the urinals
Took a while to educate them in the differences between a stall and a urinal
Most were rich kids with no interest

Some how Billionaires don't make too many bad decisions - or they wouldn't be Billionaires.

But yes, we're probably not the best run Club, I'll give you that.

I feel the above is more likely.

He is the advance scouting party

“Everton, they have an agreement with a friend of the club owner, Alisher Usmanov, who has bought the option, he’s not actually bought the naming rights, he’s bought the option to have naming rights at the new stadium for £35 million.”

Crazy the loopholes you have to find to invest in your own organisation. Is there any other industry like it?

FFP has done this, clubs trying to find ways to be competitive without breaking rules.

Oh yeah and it's absolutely ridiculous.

I hope this guy directly invests in the club one day to shut up all the RS doubters up on his involvement.
