Usmanov

[PDAWG]

Just give it up mate.
You are really well wide of the mark. I cannot see what your motivation is here

Sorry mate, difference of opinion, i'll get in toe with everyone else like a sheep if that helps

 

[Saint Domingo]

Won’t make a difference. Lack of money hasn’t been our issue recently. Until Ancelotti we hired crap managers who bought crap players and we play in a competition where every single aspect of it is weighted towards two clubs historically but probably only one at a time and the current beneficiary is our neighbours meaning on the seesaw of premier league teams it probably takes us more effort for each point earned than any other team.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Usmanov would have never risked his hold on Arsenal if he'd bought a majority stake by funding another premier league club ilegally

Do you know what sort of people we are talking about here? These guys have huge interests in some of the most corrupt organisations in the world, and we think they are concerned about flauting FA Rules??????

 

[ToffeeTim]

I can easily go for that, But that's not what some are saying now is it?

They are suggesting from Moshiri buying shares in 2016 it was all Usmanov behind the scenes, It was Usmanov hiring Koeman/Walsh/Fat Sam/Silva/Brands ect

My instinct is he's been involved in some background capacity. Not to the extent of picking managers though.

Theres a chance of something substantial taking place now though. Like stadium funding or sponsorship. Or even an outright shareholding.

Who knows really. But you cant say theres no chance of him getting involved when he literally said he might like too.

Yes if it could see him lose control of the club he loves

Yes but some on here are saying Moshiri was the face and nothing more, if thats the case he's been making all the decisions

 

[street end]

Alright then mate. I'll bow to your superior knowledge.

Things change in business though. I know that much. What's to say he did want control of Arsenal. But wasnt able to get it. So might be interested in Everton now that he holds no interest in Arsenal?

I thought that was the case all along tbh.

I'm afraid I dont know these sort of things. All I can offer are my uneducated opinions.

I'm just glad at today's news.

 

[davek]

Does it even matter ?
Come on give it up Dave its over.


Or just the beginning

I'd be delighted if it were true. It just doesn't ring true, that's all. Why would you conduct your private business through the pages of the FT?

 

[roydo]

He was never in control ffs. He owned 30%, the other bloke owned nearly 70%.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Are people now starting to believe? I've ben saying ti

Ok.. whats happened

Someone saw Usmanov bend over and they reckon he had Everton undies on...

 

[PDAWG]

He was never in control ffs. He owned 30%, the other bloke owned nearly 70%.

Sorry, you've come in half way though, I said he would never have risked being involved with Everton if he'd gained control of Arsenal, Someone suggested he would

 

[Paul Rideout]

Carlo has clearly ordered the portly soviet to get his megabucks out.

It’s a done deal lads, start buying USM products only.

 

[davek]

You're a smart guy Dave. Consider the broader picture.

Just today we seem perilously close to WW3. Russias closest ally on one side, the UKs on the other. You then have a high profile Russian, with links to the top of the Russian state, and a club having to get a new infrastructure project past the UKs local and potentially national government. It's very obvious why he has had to stay in the background until that's a long way to being granted.

I dont see the geo-political implications, tbh.

There defo was a personal reason for oligarchs to attach themselves to English football clubs, but I serioulsy doubt Usmanov is serious about this. It sounds like a throwaway line to a journalist's fishing expedition.

 

[roy vernon]

Of course Usmanov has no interest in Everton, the Esk said he doesn't.
