Usmanov

[blueblue]

Yes he has money and has been successful in business, but I’ve yet to see anything yet to show he is a competent chairman of Everton.

We have Steve Walsh and Sam Allardyce in charge, have sold key players, spent big on managers who have failed and spent big on players who have failed. Also the whole Jim White thing was embarrassing.

The tarting up of Goodison was nice though and time will tell on BMD.

I hope he ends up being a very good owner of EFC.

When the new owners took over City it took them a while to get it right and wasted a lot of money into the bargain.
It isn't as easy as it seems to get instant success.

Obviously I have no idea about Usmanov or any other investor.
But, if Everton(Moshiri) wanted to make a statement about the club going forward in an attempt to attract better managers and players it certainly would get attention across Europe if an investor with the wealth of Usmanov came on board.

Usmanov would not have appointed Big Sam and would have sacked Walsh last summer. He also would have gutted the playing staff.

Nerve gas ?

Not an easy task for sure, he’s trying to do the right things just hope he gets it right.

My original post was more in jest anyhow and saying he is incompetent is a bit harsh and was more out of frustration.

Wouldn’t say he’s competent though, feels like he’s learning on the job.

Usmanov's shares don't give a place on the Board so potential buyers may have little or say in operations - that's a lot of dollar tied up for zero influence. Unless somebody buys and flips quickly for a margin if Kronke makes a bid for them.

For an investment company they would be a steady earner

When Martinez was sacked we were all happy
When Walsh and Koeman were appointed the majority could see the sense in it and welcomed it.
It didn’t work so he sacked Koeman and the majority were happy
He will sack FSA and we will be happy.
He needs to do a root and branch clearout of the club and not give a hoot if the professionals he hires are blues or not

He is not the Arsenal owner: if he was, he would not have invested in Finch Farm and would not be continually linked with his close friend and business partner, Farhad ("We always do things together") Moshiri.

If he wanted to be here, he would be here.

lol do you follow football

He will bro, he will, it hasnt been perfect, but thankfully his money has allowed this current mess not be terminal for the club, we are on life support tho for sure.

We've been crying out for competence at board room level for decades now. Money is a by-product of competence. Not the other way round.

Maybe he's waiting for our value to drop once we get relegated in 9 weeks.

I also think you can't under estimate ego in this. Everything indicates to me the two don't get along. I think Usmanov feels slighted by some of the assertion's out of Kroenke's camp that his money is less noble because it's Russian money. Wealthy people I've met will allow things like this to become important issues and when you mix in wealthy circles another way of differentiating yourself is the nature and origin of your money.

Giving Kroenke Arsenal would be a come down for Usmanov. However in the end money pays, and another opportunity will likely be tempting. He has softened his stance a lot since 2 years ago.

For Kroenke the ability to get rid of of Agm's and borrow against an Asset he owns will be worth the payment.

While I agree with 99% of your post I can’t see Usmanov selling to Kronke
Too much of a climb down and a smack to his ego.
He will I believe be actively looking for a buyer

You what mate?

Moshiri is a self made billionaire, I think we can safely assume hes extremely competent.
