Usmanov

[SerenityNigh]

I really hope he comes as my love for EFC is like a long candle whose flame is slowly flickering away.

Deluded owner
Luvvy chairman
Dour out of depth manager
Spineless players
No leader anywhere

What he would do for club morale.

What would he do for club morale?

I see Mohammed BS* is rumoured to be enquiring about taking Man U off the Glazers' hands.

I wonder how Blues would respond, should we catch his fancy instead?

I would like to think we'd attempt to draw the line at a murderous dictator running the club (as opposed to a murderous oligarch like Usmanov). But I imagine some wouldn't even flinch, so long as it pushed our collective reality further in the direction of their FIFA Career Modes - as if a lack of spending is the problem here



*(Bone Saw and/or Bin Salman)

Wonder if he would have trouble with SEC and DOJ if he tried to buy ManU, seeing as its NYSE listed.

He’d easy sort out the zonal marking I reckon. Easy.

good point...make that a 2-2 draw

As daft as it must sound we'll beat the RS. Even though the law of averages doesn't seem to apply to us I can feel it in my bones.

Put 50 quid on us winning if I 'felt it in my bones'

However I don't feel it in my bones and will certainly not be betting on this game

Oh God its started. The optimism, the horrendous, futile, mind swilling hope.

Avast this!

on what grounds though?

Saudi money has long since saturated the US economy, especially Silicon Valley, without anyone even blinking

not at all clear he would actually buy MU, or that the Glazers would sell, but the latest rumours are likely a trial balloon of sorts

anyhow, not to get moralistic, and the ship has long since sailed, but if theoretically Everton ever became the property of a man/regime like that, I could never support them in the same way, subjective and no doubt hypocritical that this may be

Saudi money =! The person who ordered the execution (allegedly) of an American citizen

You might want to check who the president is

What would he do for club morale?

A man of Usmanovs stature would not put up with the current mediocrity and "expected losses"

If he comes on board we can finally dream of proper managerial appointments, top players coming in etc.

No argument on the potential crookedness of Trump, but DOJ took down Blatter for using American banks. Not saying it’s probable, I’m saying there’s precedent. It’s not that hard.
