Surely theres only so long a buisness man like him can live with actually having no real importance in probably what he would class as his dream project, i mean the tea lady prob has more say in the boardroom then him and i doubt kroenke will ever let him properly get his foot in the door just cos of there love of the russians, also he’s just watched his buisness partner jump ship on that failed dream to head off and start building his own which will surely be the final nail in that coffin. seeing the respect and control moshiri has in us after a matter of months surely has to be a bit painful for the bloke so i really wouldnt be suprised if he follows him up here at some point.

are you saying Kroenke won't let him have input simply because of the fact he is a Russian businessman (i know he was born there but his business is there)? That's ridiculous

I see him buying West ham if he sells his Arsenal shares.

Another London club with a new stadium,West ham will be making a ton of money off that Stadium from matchday revenues (London prices) and commercially they will exploit further with being the club playing in an Olympic stadium.

Wouldn't cost to much either buying West Ham.

But, he likes Everton...
 


I can see why we are adding 2 + 2 as they have always worked together but maybe Moshiri wanted to go alone, maybe Usmanov is waiting to see what happens with the stadium plans?
 
Obviously it would be a massive game changer if he decides to sell up at Arsenal and come here, but how about this for a theory: He is already underwriting Moshiri at Everton.

We've already been told we can compete financially with any club now and that doesn't tally up with the personal wealth of Moshiri. Unless he spends it all or has more hidden somewhere.

Now you're probably thinking at this moment why would someone who owns a chunk of another club want to help create a direct rival and perhaps devalue his own shares by doing so, that would be crazy right?

However if we go back to the open letter that both he and Moshiri penned crying for more investment at Arsenal (at the point they were paying back the stadium and had a lock on the wallet) could it be that they want to prove to the Arsenal board and fans that you can have a successful team whilst building a new stadium?

If that happens the fume amongst the cucumber sandwich brigade will be substantial, knowing that one of their previous investors has managed to overtake them with another club. Perhaps then there will be enough pressure applied to the board via supporter protests etc. that will either change the make up of it (= a place on the board for Usmanov) or cause Kroenke to sell up allowing him to become the majority shareholder.

Effectively after this happens he can gain back any money (or profits seeing we were cheap to buy) by instructing Moshiri to sell Everton.

Imagine you owned a second hand car dealership and the person you started it with and helped make wealthy, leaves and starts up another one down the road with a nicer forecourt and has better, more reasonably priced cars.

You wouldn't be happy would you? and likely that person wouldn't be your friend anymore. Something is a bit fishy with all of this... of course the above may mean that Usmanov is coming afterall. Fingers crossed eh!
