AGM

[BigRon77]

I am arsed because of what has happened at the likes of Newcastle, Sunderland, QPR or even the Redshite. All of them have had Billionaire owners who destroyed their clubs. As a family with multiple season tickets who spends an obscene amount of money on match days and on merchandising it is our money and above all it is our Club.

That season ticket money doesn’t pay for much these days mate. Unfortunately

Moshiri can’t make that call on his own though obviously
As the Guardian instantly recognise:

Alisher Usmanov pays £30m for naming rights at Everton’s new stadium

Alisher Usmanov has strengthened his ties with Everton after paying £30m up front to secure an exclusive option on naming rights for the club’s proposed new stadium

That's absolutely hilarious. An option? So not the actual deal itself?

 

[IRO1977]

Could all the reds in this thread please reveal yourselves

Oh they already have

 

[gwladysnight]

Did you miss the Usmanov FT interview from a few weeks ago? Where he explicitly gives stadium sponsorship as a way he could get involved?

Can't you see the caveats. Stadium sponsorship a way he could get involved. A £30m option. What do those two things have in common, they make headlines but mean nothing.

We are in a situation in which we are trying to convince the financial markets that the Bramley Moore Dock is a good investment. Getting investment for something that hasn't been built is all about the financial institutions having confidence in your ability to repay the money.

What better way to foster confidence than to get your rich mate to insinuate that he will effectively underwrite the development, without actually committing any funds.

If someone is so certain that Usmanov is bankrolling us could they please explain why he hasn't done it formally, given that he was more than willing to do that at Arsenal ?

Of course Moshiri can make that call himself. All he has to do is reimburse his fellow shareholders.

Because then he couldn't use USM to inject funds into the club without breaching FFP?

 

[CrustySack]

It's not the end of the world is it? But let's just get some perspective.

We've won the transfer window 2 seasons on the bounce so I'm constantly told. We've signed players from Barca while the rs are selling to Barca.

We can get carried away again if you want but when it hits the fan like it has of late then we'll all feel a bit silly won't we?

Kopites think Everton is a sinking ship, Moshiri is ready to bail and that Evertonians are in denial. Its is YOU that is in denial. Everton are ascending so make it easy on yourself and get used to it.

 

[Librarian]

Think I’ll take the Guardians interpretation, cheers though for your input

It was Chelsea mate.

 

[Wayno]

Reds, whilst you’re here.

Could you please enlighten us to exactly wtf that guy was doing smashing one out in front of children in that fountain?

To this day I’ve not a clue

 

[Moomin]

That deal will get investigated by the premier league.

We will be the first club to be done by FFP in the premier league.

 

[gwladysnight]

You do realise that Moshiri is Chairman of USM and a major Shareholder.

 

[CrustySack]

Another first - get in there!

 

[Moomin]

Another first - get in there!

First club to get a decision reversed by VAR.

Record breakers

Like it or not, big business thrives on "sleight of hand" accounting and judging by the massive wealth of these people, they are masters of it.
