Not quite sure what I think to be honest, as I trust the word of Esk who says it's not on his radar at the moment! Have copied a particular paragraph from the letter below though, which although it is four years old, gives you an idea of Messrs Moshiri and Usmanov's thoughts on the running of a Premier League football club! Whether Usmanov is going to be involved or not it makes an interesting read!
.........So what is Red & White's vision for the Club? It is simple. A debt free Club, with a big enough war chest to buy top talent players who can hit the ground running and who can complement the Club's long tradition of developing young players and homegrown talent. Together they can help the Club win the most prestigious trophies - because it is the trophies which are the crowning achievement for everybody at the Club. The trophies are also key to the commercial success of the Club - they increase the value of the players, the value of the brand, attract the best sponsors and maximize the value of our commercial contracts which should in turn mean that the Club does not have to squeeze any more income from hard pressed fans. We also believe in the transparency that a stock market listing brings so are committed to the Club remaining listed on the stock exchange and to greater fan involvement both through share ownership and also Board representation for the fans.
As I said I have said previously - interesting times!!

I trust the Esk too think his information is spot on but with moshiri signed off with usamnov at the end and moshiri here now mate maybe it was the plan from the start

Must be so frustrating being an arsenal fan. They have everything in place: stadium, location (London) revenue streams and once having two people on the board (moshiri and usmanov) with a clear vision for club, but unable to put it into practice. Let's hope arsenal's loss is everton's gain.
The problem with the Usmanov link is that it's too easy.
There may well be something in it, but it's precisely what we all thought when we heard about Moshiri coming. In fact, as I recall, people thought it was Usmanov about to buy us and not Moshiri.
It's the kind of rumour that doesn't take a lot of thought for someone to invent. Perversely, it feels too plausible to be true.
None of which is to say I don't hope it's true. Because I do.

The very first I heard about it was from a paper saying it was Usmanov, then it turned out to be Moshiri. http://en.news-4-u.ru/alisher-usmanov-didnt-buy-a-football-club-everton-2.html

Welcome back Wayne
I hope that fence isn't too uncomfortable ........
....what I can't understand is why would Usmanov come in now and not when Moshiri first invested. Surely if they wanted to buy EFC as a partnership they would have done it from the outset.

This is based on no inside information whatsoever just my own viewpoint. However I sense Moshiri works best as being part of a team. He has built his wealth in no small part by networking, bringing together and working alongside very successfully and wealthy individuals. That's his skill set, bringing others on board and growing.
Thats not to say he doesn't have a range of skills that would benefit Everton. I think you have seen that already in the short time he has been here. But even little things like his appointment of a New Director who has been very good. He is a good judge of character and confident enough to elevate the right people into positions of authority. It's certainly not all about him as it can often be with other owners. Another example may be that we are using a top recruitment firm to get a new manager. He seems happy to allow others to have a role and manage those people. It's a very good way to do business. Don't do everything yourself, find competent people and manage them.
How does that relate to another investor? Well all it means I suppose is he would be quite open to working with others. He did at Arsenal and has had a long standing relationship/partnership with Usmanov. I don't think like Bill he will see it as his transit and want yes men in every position. I think if the right investor came, even if they had some different ideas he would welcome that as opposed to binning it as it's a threat.
I also think his vision for Everton will be to turn is not the Arsenal of the North. Part of that may involve having more a collaborative approach to leadership and more than 1 of high ranking wealthy individual working together.
None of this means he will bring others in. He is a very competent man and unlike the owners of City who have almost inherited wealth he has shown great acumen to acquire it which you can see. it isn't just throwing money at things but developing the club which is really important. I also think just because someone may come on board doesn't mean they automatically will or that it will be Usmanov. Moshiri networks around very successful wealthy individuals who tryst and respect him.
I doubt we'll see too much movement. Moshiri isn't even owner himself yet. If it happens great, if it doesn't happen we are still in a very good place.
