Usmanov

[Goat]

We all know Uncle Ussy is slipping cheques left right and center to Moshiri, It doesn't need to be official.

Is the correct answer.

Ive always thought theres no benefit from him being here officially, I think if he ever joined we would have to give up the USM sponsorship for 1.

The fellas share bank accounts.

 

[technojoe]

lol

Is right lid!

 

[castlefordblue]

Usmanoff?

But those routes have still got to be in line with normal practice. It’s against the rules to try to get money in by sponsoring above normal levels.

Seems nobody told City.

Doesn't FFP only apply once you're in UEFA competitions?

I would think so mate, as an example though City have a 400mill naming rights deal with Eithed over 10 years. 40 mill a season is a nice little earner and investment to the bottom line.That was signed 7 years ago.

In some ways its easier to invest from the "outside" then it is from the "inside".

Behave soft lad, the bloke was a mod on here, who led lots in a merry dance, ingratiated himself with various "media blues" and now tries to put himself out as a voice of evertonians.

Keep licking his arse though mate.

Good fishing mate, you know as well as I do, he will never post on here again.

No wonder with people like you hounding him out of here.

Well, he's not likely to say, yes i'm investing billions in another club just before the transfer window shuts. Transfer fees would go up like crazy.

That,s that then...2nd hand info of course

 

[den1]

No...And he was NEVER going to cash his Arsenal shares in either lol

 

[dholliday]

Back to plucky little Everton, as it always will be...

Yeah, because having one billionaire is never enough lol

Who is this David Connman fella anyway. Of course he ain't gonna come out and sat he's taking over at Everton within minutes of selling his Arsenal shares. It will be a good few months before we see him come on board. He needs to win the narrative battle with the arsenal fans and let a bit of time pass first.

Kopite journo! wevs

The fake news conn man is also a kopite apparently.

Imagine my surprise lol

Cause he's a Muppet sensationalist kopite?

[bluestevon]

Such a loss wasn't he, just tune into his podcast though mate least he landed on his feet by chance eh?

Yes. The whole 2 years hasn't made sense for me either though. Why did Koeman leave a stable job at Southampton and risk it all. Why did Allardyce come out of retirement (and be so cheesed off when he was sacked whereas at other clubs he happily left) etc. Why has Brands resisted Arsenal and turned down Chelsea to join Everton, if he had to sell 15% of the wage bill before he could buy?

There may be another explanation, I know a lot of fans don't see how odd the above is because we rightly hold Everton in very high regard. When you live in the city thats true. If you grew up outside of it, we are another regional club who've gone 2 decades since winning something. Our name and reputation alone is not a big enough pull in my view, and even with Moshiri's finances being significantly deeper than what's likely reported it's unlikely his are enough as well.

It would not surprise me if the Chinese debt facility was used. I am not entirely sure why it was negotiated, though I do wonder if further down the line we may see some Chinese investment/involvement and it's a precursor. However yes that can be wiped off without sanction. Also any fees paid can also be made available for spending going forward and they can also convert debt into equity, so they have some options available to them.

This window seems to have shifted pace. My own theory would be that brands and Silva felt the initial window may be difficult as it would be touch and go if Usmanov could come but future windows there would be significant funds available (probably far greater than what we've done over the last 2 years and over a longer period). Maybe Usmanov has got wind of the offer coming in and later in the window then we started signing players.

If he comes in over the next day or so (which reporters like Bascombe who is well connected are openly suggesting) expect a mental deadline day. I would rule nothing out. I really wouldn't rule out a bid for Hazard or things completely off the wall like that. It's a bit like Christmas as a kid this!

Maybe a bid for Lacazette or Ramsey to infuriate Kronke

exactly. wevs

 

[Brisan123]

What if Moshiri wants to be the sole owner?
it's his baby, what if he doesn't want to share?

He will do as his boss commands

 

[4737carlin]

Why is Conn saying he isnt interested in Everton but at the same time he has already invested money via Finch Farm

 

[KaiserEFC]

Don’t do it to yourselves.
