Usmanov

[B17BLG]

Has everyone forgotten we are Everton? It won't happen.


*prays it does

I think he was trying to invoke the Dunkirk spirit. Roger had his number.

lollol

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

AT any point he can sell up at Arsenal mate, the question is who would buy a 30% stake in a high prolfile club in the highest profile league


Some have stated that it would be near impossible to find such a buyer who would not have a controlling interest or say if Kroenke didn't wish, some think it wouldn't be as difficult as it's made out to be to sell to soemone, would the chinese or various other investors really need a control in order to see Arsenal as a sound long term investement and one which would raise a profile of company/state etc

Lets face it how many footy fans would have heard about Usmanov, USm, Megafon, Mettaloinvest etc if he had no shares at Arsenal...

It's happening isn't it?

I'm sure everyone thinks I'm nuts with my bizarre ramblings, but I could of sworn I posted something saying I thought this sort of self sponsorship should be happening in one of the Moshiri threads...

I don't think it's fake today.

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

...in all seriousness, I don't think Usmanov will be centrally involved as a shareholder in EFC. Hope I'm wrong, but everything points to this being Moshiri's baby.

He might never hold any shares mate, but he definately has fingers in this.

Spot on but you forgot the bit about Die Hard

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!

Welcome me to the party pal!!!

Of all the shirt sponsors (USM etc) Gazprom imo would be just like any other sponsor compared to the connotations (or possible ones) of the others as theyve sponsored shirts before in Europe

Gazprom have never sponsoured inside Britain before i dont believe mate - or shown any interest, they have done internally in Russia (and i blieve a couple of teams in europe - czech/german from memory) they are obviously big sponsors of European footy, to get involved with us would be absolutely monumental on a scale you cant imagine (think of them as the fatted calf everyone would like to have)

anyways thats running away with specualtion as nothing remotely linking them atm

 

[BlueToff]

Is right lad, all hail our new Messiah

I for one welcome our new Russian overlord

 

[The Rhino]

USM Will certainly buy naming rights for our future stadium aswell. They wont spend massive amountson sponsering our ground as if it is Usmanov trying to put money into us offering a massive amount for a training ground would be suspicious as hell and against market prices.

The interesting one will be the stadium name/possible shirt sponsership.

 

[Seathestars]

So essentially he can't become an owner in any way as he's still owns shares in Arsenal. Against the rules, fine. But he's going ahead and bankrolling us anyway through indirect means, what a guy.

Love how nobody saw this coming.

Well actually, I was sworn to secrecy, although I did try to drop hints here and there

Aye mate read that earlier, Arsenal fans are very very worried

 

[Eggs]

He might never hold any shares mate, but he definately has fingers in this.

....I think that is more accurate. The extent of his interest is the great unknown.

 

[BornBlue76]

How does naming rights work? Is it a purchase of an intangible asset that can be sold off or are they literally buying it for a limited time and its money for advertising effectively. If its purely an expense it is a very generous injection from the owner (and his mate). What do you get out of naming rights for a training ground? Hence my first question.

nobody??

Shady as sitting in a shady place listening to shady lane, in the shade

this a pavement reference Neiiiil?

 

[bluestevon]

...I hope so, Stevon. I understand the logic of your point. I wouldn't be surprised if Usmanov money makes its way into the club via his and Moshiri shared business interests but I'm not getting carried away that he will formally/directly get involved as a shareholder.

Short term i think he will be behind the scenes helping out, long term i think he will come on board mate, but only if we can get certain things the way they need to be, he ain't gonna jump from one situation he was trapped in, into another mess, maybe the test is Moshiri - sort it out and i'll join you kinda deal.

Stadium, Commercial deals, Club structure (which is terrible), get that sorted and we will know soon enough
