Yes mate. I've been quite clear from very early on on my view of Usmanov's involvement,
Does the stock exchange open over the Christmas to announce that Kenwright has sold his his remaining shares to an Isle of Man holding company
Uzzy Uzzy Uzzy Oi Oi Oi . All it took was a phone call!

Yeah I think I remember something along them lines. It’s probably because it will make his shares worth a lot more so he is earning more of them while the club become one of the richest clubs in the world

I see this as being quite likely.
I know some think he will come onto the board. I just don't see that. I don't see any incentive for it to be done if it hasn't already.
We may at some point see his (step) son come on board.
Personally I'd like him to go out and get a world class chairman and/or CEO.
Moshiri is no fool .
Kenwright has to sell at a previously agreed price
I think its the original price Moshiri paid.
All directors and shareowners had the same option

It’s only a matter of time but if he has agreed that when the planning goes in it means uzzy is coming onboard. The ancelloti deal tells everyone what they already knew in my opinion. No way does Moshiri make a manager the 3rd richest in the premier league never mind in the world
His stepson had a major property development company in Moscow.
I said months back we need a
New CEO,
New Financial director
New commercial/marketing manager
To put the club where it needs to be

Finally get rid of Kenwright. He is a huge problem for us.

There has always been talk that there was a trigger point. The most logical trigger point (from a legalistic viewpoint) is the planning application being submitted. It's not the only one, it could be a point whereby the sale of the land was agreed, funding was put in place, planning application accepted etc.
I maintain I would be surprised if Usmanov ever publicly comes onto the board. He is not a clean enough face. As you have said, I can imagine a holding company, such as Blue and White Holdings may well be set up somewhere.
His company Gazprom I have seen is 50% owned by the Russian government. We obviously have to be very cautious in what we say in relation to that. There could be an assumption drawn that the Russian government may have interest in prime real estate in a major UK city, or on a major UK business. If this were the case it would be an enormous story, so it is best to keep some distance.
If it were the case, any fictional club that may have backing that had links (via individuals, so indirect links) would be extremely wealthy. They would also really not need to worry about profit and loss in the way a conventional/orthodox business would. It could almost be seen as a fantastic way to launder huge sums of money or gain cultural influence. It would almost be as if there were a much deeper game going on.
Of course, these are most likely to be complete fictions and could never happen in real life, where we all know everything is above board and completely transparent. Thats my view. But the story above is certainly an interesting fictional account.

I've been banging the drum for some time of Terry Leahy and Brian Gilvary (who did initially sound interested). Both Evertonians, both coming to an age where they may want a new challenge and one that brings them "home" so to speak.
I am happy enough with Ryzanstev as a FD. An overhaul of the board would be very prescient though.
