So my understanding of the situation is that basically he's given us a huge-money sponsorship as a way of being able to invest in the club whilst also keeping his shares with Arsenal intact?

What is happening here mate can you please explain to me.

That's the thing for me...unless of course he plans to divest himself of his Arsenal holdings and reinvest in Everton with this being the first step.

Or Moshiri was the first step.

Moshiri owns it as well. Not sure it's as big a deal as people think.

It means nothing concrete tho right now to suggest usmanov is coming they are pals remember.

Yes certainly, nothing concrete. But we've been speculating on the possibility of a Moshiri-Usmanov team-up at Everton on here quite a lot, and the Finch Farm sponsorship is substantial evidence that they keep on aligning their paths. That's all I mean with "interesting times ahead". Nothing to suggest Usmanov is coming, you´re quite right. But to a layman it's hard to see this sponsor activity as an act of strictly "helping out a friend in need". Sure, sponsorships are a way to boost the club budget that's compliant with FFP in a different way than direct investment from a club owner. But it's not like Usmanov is reaching out to bail out an old pal who's football venture is on the brink of a financial collapse.
