Usmanov

[Axlswhk]

I don´t want Usmanov at Everton because there are moral boundaries that should not be crossed.

"...Official version sounds like this: he manufactured plastic bags, then sold cigarettes, then went bankrupt, and then established a company called Interfin, in which his partners invested $10 million each, believing in Usmanov’s genius business acumen. Interfin company really did exist since 1995. But fortunately for the ACF from the moment of its establishment 40% of Interfin stock was owned by the British company Middlesex Holding PLC. The ACF read the accounts of this firm, and others, associated with it, for the last 20 years — that’s more than 2,000 pages. Those documents are a pure treasure as they show a real story of the Soviet asset privatization.
In 1997 Usmanov crept into Gazprom and used Gazprom’s money to buy his own shares in the British company, and then, a bit later, sold them back to himself, but for less money. This was the moment that Usmanov and Dmitry Medvedev became such a good friends. Medvedev was the Chairman of Gazprom’s Board of Directors at that time and these scheme wouldn’t be possible without him.
A lot was said about the honest taxpayer Usmanov. He brought to the budget half a billion dollars in the course of 10 years. Among all of his properties only his yacht costs this sum. He should’ve paid several times more. The entrepreneur Alisher Burkhanovich doesn’t sell Russian raw materials directly, but uses his own offshore intermediaries and sell through them with more than two-fold price difference. This tax evasion scheme is called transfer pricing.
Alisher Burkhanovich repeatedly said the he is developing the internet. When in fact he took over the largest Russian social media Vkontakte after the regime wrestled it from its founder Pavel Durov. Durov refused to provide the security services with the personal information of users in groups that criticized the regime. Usmanov in turn introduced censorship and now we see weekly attempts to sentence people for likes and shares.
And lastly about the lawsuit. Rape was among the accusations recounted by the former British ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray. On his website one can find these lines: “Alisher Usmanov is a vicious thug, criminal, racketeer, heroin trafficker and accused rapist.” Mr. Murray was a public officer, who due to his position communicated with everyone in the leadership of Uzbekistan, had access to all the secret information and continues to insist on his statements. But somehow Usmanov didn’t take ambassador Murray to the British court and is trying to settle this case in Russian one where he can easily bring a suitcase with cash."

It’s ok mate, I just want some trophy and champions league qualification.

Any human worth billions of quid is going to have a shady business portfolio and a hand in politics, imo. He cant be that dodgy as FA regulations and codes of conduct would have pulled him on something during his time at arsenal? alternatively as you mentioned money talks. With wealth comes power and a certain level of immunity. If hes got the dollar to slip shady tenners to the right people to keep them sweet then id be inclined to say thats how these people operate on a day to day business. If he slips the right people the right money to keep his actions morally immoral and he comes up the mersey to invest in Everton.. we can expect and predict the inquests already but lets embrace the investment and kick on!

Have we got anyone positioned at the docks on 'yacht watch', or is everyone hanging around the airport, greggs and nandos on transfer watch? Do we have enough agents to go round.

Could be a long watch. The yacht is outside Sardinia.....

TLDR, all business types at the top are dirty end of story. Now go back to RAWK an cry

By Maddock.......who fails to say that he could have done that anyway, but didn’t.

 

[paulbefc]

I'm not sure Moshiri owning 49.9% of the club with the option to increase his stake to 70-odd% (reportedly dependent on the building of the stadium) suggests the plan was for Usmanov to come in. I think we're well and truly Moshiri's club and Usmanov will do his own thing, probably buying into another (likely foreign) club, if he does want to keep investing in football clubs, that is.

Having a medical?

I’d say he would fail a medical unless he has a quiet word in the doctors ear

or moshiri sells his stake to usmanov and usmanov buys the club and keeps moshiri on in some accounts role

And what’s the issue ?

 

[Brisan123]

Being fair (not something we are too often) it was Usmanov that said he would not sell his share to the Krankies. - so it was a reasonable punt to say he never would.

And these lads become billionaires by telling the whole world of their future plans

 

[Hangleton]

Most people have digressed a little in their past.
Taking on Everton can be seen as a chance for him to redeem himself.
