Usmanov

2017 the year you tell your grandkids about

'tis a strange one this.

Seems a direct flaunting or bending of PL rules. I'm sure our new owner has already validated the deal as legit & within the guidelines.

If he can use this vehicle to drip Usmanov money into the club legally, then I'm presuming there's a limit to the amount?

No you say?

Why would it be against the rules though?

It's all a load of tosh unless dave says so and he aint said nowt yet.

Nothing has changed since I wrote this article in August. I'm delighted and surprised in equal measure that USM are sponsors/naming rights partners, but the issues relating to Usmanov becoming an owner of Everton still exist.

Hope your well mate.

Moshiri is definitely the smallest shareholders of USM, so they'd have to have been some kind of consultancy and discussion about this.

But then again the company is worth billions so a few £10m here or there probably goes off the books daily

It is also Moshiri's company, but the press have gone for the Usmanov angle.

Usmanov has said time and again he won't sell his Arsenal shares, come on lads, give it up.

Moshiri owns 10%, usmanov has 48% and controls voting rights for 12% more, moshiri I believe has the voting right of the other partner who owns 30% - up until two years ago usmanov controlled all other parties voting rights, he changed that to give moshiri a 40% vote at that point, unless I'm remembering things wrong.

Shame we didn't dedicate Finch Farm in Sir Phillip Carter's name.

Then it could be the Carter USM Finch Farm.

*BEST POST EVER*

We've got a diamond called Usmanov
A toffee that got sick of Arsenal
He sits along side Moshiri
Together at Everton fc.....
And when you own the blues
We'll sing this song for you
Because Usmanov's a toffee through and through



...too soon?

Why would it be against the rules though?

I would think there is an 'arms length' agreement which would limit it. I think the sponsorship would have to fall in line with what we would get from an external, indirect organisation or what similar rivals would get.
I could be wrong.

first paragraph looks photoshopped

Why would it be against the rules though?

He owns a lot of shares at arsenal and is the major shareholder of USM.

Gotta be a conflict of interest some where surely.

 

[Sinski]

Not for long like.

Another of his companies will be involved by being the kit sponsor.

Yeah this could be a sign of who a new shirt sponsor will be.

Why would it be against the rules though?

It seems by that Guardian report as though a major shareholder of a Premier League club is investing in another club via a circumnavigation of the rules.

That's how I read it anyhow.
