Usmanov

[Brisan123]

The way to compete on a fair footing is to get the Stadium, funded built and to increase revenues. Our owners seem extremely reluctant to do that though. That is the basis of my scepticism. If as has been suggested we are owned by Usmanov and he is going to throw money at us then there wouldn't be any funding issues. We also wouldn't be taking a payday loan from Rights and Media Funding Limited.

We wouldn't have a charge on our future season ticket revenues.

AN option on a site has been purchased,plans have been drawn up ,funding is being sought and PP has gone in
The stadium will be built,Revenues will increase and commercially we will be in a better place.
We need to get to a position( ie top 4) where commercial revenues will flow automatically ,hence the USM money

City didn't get away with it.

In 2014 they were fined £49m, had a spending cap introduced had their squad for the Champions League reduced by one player and had to agree not to increase their wage bill.

They have been charged for a second time and are awaiting the decision of the CFCB after an appeal to the CAS was thrown out.

Did not stop them winning the league twice in a row with a record number of points

It doesn't add up though. Take the £30m announced at the AGM that has been ring fenced for the Stadium so doesn't help with a push for top 4. The other thing that was announced was that the sponsorship for Finch Farm had increased by £6m to £12m. Sounds good until you look at the accounts and see that the £6m was more than wiped out by paying £7m in interest charges. Why is a billionaire with supposed pretty unlimited wealth allowing £7m that could of been used on pushing for top 4 to flow out of the Club.

He has got a point, 7 million might just cover the agent fees for one decent player...

I get that people can question Moshiri on football.

But imagine trying to call him out on his accounting.

I mean.

lollol

I mean... He's not just some little bookkeeper who sits at his tiny little desk capturing supplier invoices into a crappy little accounting system.

The Mosh is a qualified Charted Accountant who did his articles at Deliottes, and probably has experience auditing some of the biggest listed companies in the country, not to mention his time spent in Usmanov's multi-billion pound companies, probably as a CFO. The dude knows his stuff, FFS!

 

[mahermi1]

The FFP wasn't introduced for our sake as you suggest and not when Moshiri came either ,it has been in longer than that .

But it was still to stop the likes of a City and a Chelsea, coming along again wasn't it.

 

[brettangellnightporter]

So what he had to mingle, remember those other parties "Mandelson etc"

Mandelson was never foreign sec. Mingle or get so wasted at a private party with Russian oligarchs that you're pictured visably wrecked the next day? Keep on telling yourself that's fine.

It was basically Manchester United having a tantrum when City came into money.

Yes the apple cart, gravy train was being upset, hence FFP.

No it was to stop the effect that another City or Chelsea has on the whole of Football.

Look at the effect PSG's ridiculous purchase of Neymar had on the market. Prices near enough doubled over night.
