Interference? Mate, if the snippets are to be believed, he maintained his claws through (partly) funding Kenwright originally and the Rights and Media loan.

Incredible. I knew he was floating around the background apparently offering consultation and advice, but had no idea he was bankrolling anyone. Where did he know bill from? Wonder if it's through lloyd webber.

Who cornered the market in shell-suits? Goin back in the mind is no easy task, it's all such a blur of pain and criminal taste in fashion.

There’s loads of ‘vintage’ shops in Europe that are packed with dodgy shell-suits and other 80’s/90’s garb.

Not sure where it all comes from, but there never seems to be a supply issue, as every time I visit the wife’s family in Holland, I’m dragged round these types of places and they’re always full.

There's a lot to address here, so let's take it from the top.
My travels working around Holland and occasionally holidaying allowed me to learn that there is a sub culture of day to day skin head hooliganism and they're tribal with colours and brands. It's not quite crips and bloods, but it's not dissimilar. Knock off ultra uniforms aside, I noticed a set of tastes there catered almost entirely around marks and spencer type plain clothing, functional and not high fashion.
My favourite teams at the Olympics are the Dutch ladies football and hockey sides. Because they somehow make tall blonde athletic pretty ladies like some sort of magic production line. You snagged yourself a stunner? You some David Gandy looker? ;)
 
Yes, she’s tall and blonde and (for an auld bird), is a stunner and I’m very lucky, especially as I’m more like Peter Beardsley than David Gandy! She’s learned to love/hate Everton, and tells people that going to Goodison is a unique experience!

‘M&S chic’ really does sum up the fashion sense of most of the Dutch men, as practical and good value for money is an overriding must for most.

Like with Usmanov, ownership (or part ownership) and influence can easily be disguised through ambiguous shell companies and questionable loans.

Have you ever looked into RMF? If you haven't, you only need to look at their registered addresses and people involved to question how they have capital to lend.

The Guardian did an article about it here, where a complicated structure of companies have allegedly allowed the likes of Green to discretely invest in clubs.

Once funding is in place, you can quite easily exert pressure on owners without being an actual 'owner' or known investor, which is what Green has done.

If I discretely give you £30m to invest in a business, I can also discretely exert pressure on decisions behind the scenes through phone calls or whatnot.

But on paper, I would have no 'power', if that makes sense, and only now have TFG hopefully kicked the amoeba into touch, all started by Kenwright.

Some may even say that Kenwright was more akin to Moshiri, with him only being the owner 'on paper'.
